Hearing on College’s Accreditation Postponed
A hearing on Compton College’s appeal to maintain its accreditation has been postponed until at least May, and the school has been granted additional legal grounds on which it can base its fight to stay open.

A college spokeswoman said the latest developments would enable the school to make a stronger case that it is in compliance with requirements.
