in july of 2013, the accjc elected to take action to terminate the college's accreditation, subject to a one-year review and appeal period. the decision was based on a variety of deficiencies in standards. a fiscal crisis & management assistance team report was expected to be released by the end of july 2013. nearly two months later, san francisco city attorney dennis herrera filed two legal challenges to stop the accjc from revoking city college of san francisco's accreditation alleging conflicts of interest, a faulty evaluation process, and a politically motivated decision-making process. the 2013 decision to revoke accreditation in 2014 was put on hold pending the legal challenges. in january 2015, with the legal conflict still ongoing, accjc said that ccsf remained out of compliance with standards in 32 areas but granted the college a two-year extension for resolving these issues and avoiding a shutdown.
