College District to Get $30-Million State Loan
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation Friday authorizing a $30-million emergency loan to keep the Compton Community College District afloat.
The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally (D-Compton), also authorizes the El Camino Community College District to provide classes for Compton students if the Compton district loses its accreditation.
The college, under state control since 2004, is appealing a decision by an oversight agency to strip its accreditation over financial and management troubles. It remains accredited while the appeal is pending.
