Proposed AHEAD regulations and upcoming AIM accreditation rules will reshape higher education, using earnings-based ROI metrics that put essential programs at risk and shift how accreditation works. What’s at stake: access, academic freedom, and opportunity for our students.

We’re grateful for the powerful testimony from Dr. Natalina Monteiro, Professor at @EastLACollege and FACCC BIPOC Committee Member, and Angel Binuya, student leader from @SacCityCollege, who uplifted this important measure. #HigherEd #CaLeg #FACCCAdvocacy

AB 2019 (@AsmMikeGipson) moves to Assembly Appropriations! This FACCC-sponsored bill would ensure that CCC faculty affected by immigration enforcement can continue to teach and support students remotely, thereby protecting continuity, stability, and access in our classrooms.

AB 2019 will be heard in the Assembly Higher Education Committee tomorrow, April 21. Stay tuned for our legislative update! #CaLeg #KnowYourRights

Knowing your rights is just the beginning. FACCC-sponsored AB 2019 (@AsmMikeGipson) builds on these protections by ensuring instructional continuity for faculty affected by immigration enforcement, so students can stay on track without disruption.
