On September 13, 2012 a board meeting took place at City College of San Francisco. The purpose of the meeting was to address the financial problems that California's largest public school was having. This institution provides a learning environment for 86,000 students. The meeting was interrupted by dozens of student protesters who demanded the board's resignation. They protested against increased tuition and educational cuts that limit a student's potential to learn and excel. The Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges stated that the cause of this financial crisis is the weakness of leadership on all levels.After a financial review in July, it was made clear that ninety-two percent of the schools funds were spent on salaries and benefits.The college chancellor, Jack Scott, was quoted saying, "all hell would break loose if trustees did not take necessary austerity measures". City College of San Francisco has until October 15 to submit a financial plan to save the school. It would be sad to see 86,000 students being refused education due to insufficient funds.
