The \u003ca href=\"http://www.accjc.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges\u003c/a> has recommended revoking CCSF's credentials later this year because of what it calls persistent administrative and financial shortcomings. Loss of accreditation would block the state funding upon which CCSF depends and force it to close. CCSF serves about 80,000 students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court yesterday, attorneys for the city and two teachers’ unions argued that the practices the accrediting agency denied CCSF due process. Parties in both suits want Karnow to impose an injunction that would block the loss of accreditation; the city also wants the judge to order the agency to conduct a new accreditation assessment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Bezemek, an attorney representing the California Federation of Teachers and the City College teachers’ union, American Federation of Teachers Local 2121, told Karnow that the ACCJC acted unlawfully in its decision-making process. CBS SF Bay Area reports:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[Bezemek] said “a significant violation” occurred when a commission staff report found 19 deficiencies with the school and the commission then upped that number to 30 at a June meeting without notifying City College of the additional deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bezemek also cited other problems, including an alleged conflict of interest in allowing commission President Barbara Beno to appoint her husband to the team that evaluated City College.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bezemek also said the accrediting agency's’s decision resulted in students leaving City College out of fear that the school may close, and that enrollment was down by as much as 30 percent since last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But accrediting commission attorney Philip Ward said revoking CCSF's credentials was necessary to bring about change. “There has to be major reorganizing decisions at City College,” Ward said. “Nobody wants to see City College disaccredited. ... We’re trying to make sure it gets as good as it can be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karnow will decide whether the plaintiffs have standing to bring forward the lawsuit on Monday, when both sides will return to court. It is not clear when Karnow will decide whether to issue the preliminary injunctions. If granted, they would remain in place until a trial can be held in the case.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.accjc.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges\u003c/a> has recommended revoking CCSF's credentials later this year because of what it calls persistent administrative and financial shortcomings. Loss of accreditation would block the state funding upon which CCSF depends and force it to close. CCSF serves about 80,000 students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court yesterday, attorneys for the city and two teachers’ unions argued that the practices the accrediting agency denied CCSF due process. Parties in both suits want Karnow to impose an injunction that would block the loss of accreditation; the city also wants the judge to order the agency to conduct a new accreditation assessment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Bezemek, an attorney representing the California Federation of Teachers and the City College teachers’ union, American Federation of Teachers Local 2121, told Karnow that the ACCJC acted unlawfully in its decision-making process. CBS SF Bay Area reports:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[Bezemek] said “a significant violation” occurred when a commission staff report found 19 deficiencies with the school and the commission then upped that number to 30 at a June meeting without notifying City College of the additional deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bezemek also cited other problems, including an alleged conflict of interest in allowing commission President Barbara Beno to appoint her husband to the team that evaluated City College.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bezemek also said the accrediting agency's’s decision resulted in students leaving City College out of fear that the school may close, and that enrollment was down by as much as 30 percent since last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Throughout the year, food brings us together and draws out conversation. But for very-low-income neighbors living in single-room-occupancy (SRO) buildings without kitchens or communal dining areas, that’s not a regular experience.

He was born in 1946 in Havana. In April 1962, more than three years after the Cuban revolution overthrew the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, Ramirez’s parents — disillusioned by what they perceived as Fidel Castro’s failed promises — sent him and his sister to live with relatives in South Florida.

He gained a reputation for immersing himself in the subjects that he covered, always seeking to gain in-depth understanding before publishing. In 1970, he wrote a prize-winning series for the Wall Street Journal about farmworkers in Michigan after working in the fields alongside them. At the Miami Herald, he accompanied undercover agents on raids of suspected heroin dealers. And for a San Francisco Examiner article on jail conditions, he worked several days as a deputy sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May 1976, after months of investigation, Ramirez and freelance journalist Lowell Bergman broke a story for the Examiner about a Chinatown gang murder case titled “How Lies Sent Youth to Prison for Murder.” The article detailed how an assistant district attorney and two police inspectors had pressured witnesses into lying, resulting in the conviction of Richard Lee. The three law enforcement officers sued the Examiner, Bergman and Ramirez for libel, seeking $30 million in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Examiner, then owned by the Hearst Corp., refused to provide counsel for the freelancer Bergman, leaving him without representation, Ramirez as a matter of principle and conscience refused to be represented by the Examiner’s lawyer and joined with Bergman to seek outside counsel. A group of journalists and lawyers rallied around the two reporters and raised enough money to hire a lawyer and fight the case. Though they initially lost in Superior Court and were ordered to pay $4.56 million in damages, Bergman and Ramirez spent the next decade fighting the verdict. Ultimately, the libel ruling was overturned by the California Supreme Court in 1986.

Raul’s commitment to journalism ethics was a major influence on all of the work we’ve done at KQED. He insisted on fact-based, accurate reporting that avoided the sensational and, instead, told meaningful stories about the impact of news and issues on the lives of ordinary people. \u003c/em> \u003cem>Raul was a man of ideas, and he had a huge heart. He cared deeply about colleagues and friends he worked with. Our reporters and producers, hosts and news anchors loved talking with him about stories, ideas and coverage they wanted to do in the future. He directed the newsroom day to day, and he mentored and taught his staff to become better journalists. He will be missed extraordinarily by all of us at KQED.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Jo Anne Wallace, VP and General Manager KQED Public Radio\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We at KQED Radio have lost our leader, our guide, our moral compass. For those of us who knew him and had the privilege of working with him, the loss is profound.\u003c/em> \u003cem>Raul was also one of the finest human beings I have ever had the good fortune to know. Raul had more integrity, humanity, decency, strength of character and goodness in him than nearly anyone I have ever known. He was beloved by many of us who worked with him, and if you are fortunate enough to meet someone in your lifetime who even comes close to having the qualities Raul had, then you, too, will remain filled with reverent memories of that person to your dying day. Many of us will always remember Raul for his inimitable spirit, and the passion and excellence he brought to his work and to our lives. We admired him for his wisdom and compassion, high-minded principles and grace. We have learned from him – for, of his many gifts, perhaps the most precious was his ability to live an exemplary, inspirational and honorable life.\u003c/em> \u003cem>We will miss him far more than words can ever say.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Michael Krasny, Host of \"Forum\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul Ramirez had a terrific mix of characteristics that added up to one amazing talent. He had an unwavering sense of outrage over people who had been wronged, along with a healthy skepticism of those with power and influence. He had all the skills of a sensational reporter: a tremendous curiosity about everyone and every place, the ability to listen, and the tremendous talent as a writer.\u003c/em> \u003cem>He had friends all over the world. He was living proof that it was a profession with a higher calling, but one that you could fall in love with while at the same time making a difference in the lives of everyone you touched. Because that's what he did. Despite having the skepticism of a great journalist, he somehow managed to be an eternal optimist. He loved life and worked hard to enjoy it to the fullest.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Larry Kramer, President and Publisher of USA Today\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>(In 1975) in the stark fluorescent-lit newsroom of the old San Francisco Examiner, Raul turned to me and reported: “I have been told not to talk to you anymore.” But (he) refused to abandon our story. ... Raul threw his own job to the wind and refused to accept the company decision ... to abandon me. He joined me in defending our story.\u003c/em> \u003cem>Raul’s willingness to stand up not only led to a lifelong friendship; it provides an example of selfless dedication to principle that never ceases to inspire me. Whenever I waver, whenever I need to stiffen my backbone about whether to do what’s right, I say to myself, “I am Raul Ramirez!”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Lowell Bergman, Graduate School of Journalism UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>A conversation with Raul Ramirez was the equivalent of reading a great book. His passion for and knowledge about societal issues, journalism, ethics, cultures — really about all things important in life — amazed me every time. Raul's voice was steady and strong, helping make the rest of us smarter and better.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">-- Robert M. Steele, DePauw University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul was on the forefront of the movement to promote diversity in journalism. He insisted that journalism students think about the people and communities who were most often left out of news stories. In 1994, Raul was part of a team of journalists who helped me conduct a national study into how news media coverage of communities of color was flawed by stereotypes and other problems. The San Francisco State University study was released at the historic Unity '94 joint conference of African-American, Asian-American, Latino and Native-American journalists. Raul’s thoughtful analysis contributed to the success and credibility of the study. Because of his stellar reputation, Raul was often asked to review journalism schools seeking accreditation, and he used that position as another way to stress the importance of diversity in journalism. We have lost a powerful and important voice in journalism, but I believe that Raul has left an important legacy by developing and shaping young new journalists.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Jon Funabiki, San Francisco State University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\">\u003cem>Raul knows Asia and Asian-American affairs. He gets it. It was reassuring to work with such an editor. At a cafe, on a ride in his car, at a small restaurant, on the phone at 2 a.m., as well as in the office, Raul always made you feel like you were doing something right. Without Raul, no \"Pacific Time.\" We all worked at it, and many made it possible. But \"Pacific Time\" was what it was because Raul was firmly behind it. \"Pacific Time\" is grateful to Raul.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Nguyen Qui Duc, Host \"Pacific Time\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul was a natural teacher. He loved journalism and was eager to share his experiences and his skills with his students. His classes were an exchange more than a lecture. An atmosphere of respect permeated his teaching — respect for what journalism could be when practiced at its best, respect for the students’ insights and for their potential. He set high standards and gave critiques that helped them achieve high levels many didn’t think they could reach.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>As with his colleagues in all the places where he worked, Raul’s students came to know and like him. Inevitably, they learned from him not only the basics of journalism, or the skills of investigative reporting, but also from observation of him as teacher and journalist many of them learned what it is to be a good person, a person of integrity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">-- Betty Medsger, journalist and educator, former chair of SFSU's Department of Journalism\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qYJsejcyZRs?list=UU0FISFbEaHFc5ccrIgkZ3mg\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please feel free to share your memories in \"comments\" below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cstyle> div.yarpp-related {display:none} \u003c/style>\n\n",

Raul’s commitment to journalism ethics was a major influence on all of the work we’ve done at KQED. He insisted on fact-based, accurate reporting that avoided the sensational and, instead, told meaningful stories about the impact of news and issues on the lives of ordinary people. \u003c/em> \u003cem>Raul was a man of ideas, and he had a huge heart. He cared deeply about colleagues and friends he worked with. Our reporters and producers, hosts and news anchors loved talking with him about stories, ideas and coverage they wanted to do in the future. He directed the newsroom day to day, and he mentored and taught his staff to become better journalists. He will be missed extraordinarily by all of us at KQED.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Jo Anne Wallace, VP and General Manager KQED Public Radio\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We at KQED Radio have lost our leader, our guide, our moral compass. For those of us who knew him and had the privilege of working with him, the loss is profound.\u003c/em> \u003cem>Raul was also one of the finest human beings I have ever had the good fortune to know. Raul had more integrity, humanity, decency, strength of character and goodness in him than nearly anyone I have ever known. He was beloved by many of us who worked with him, and if you are fortunate enough to meet someone in your lifetime who even comes close to having the qualities Raul had, then you, too, will remain filled with reverent memories of that person to your dying day. Many of us will always remember Raul for his inimitable spirit, and the passion and excellence he brought to his work and to our lives. We admired him for his wisdom and compassion, high-minded principles and grace. We have learned from him – for, of his many gifts, perhaps the most precious was his ability to live an exemplary, inspirational and honorable life.\u003c/em> \u003cem>We will miss him far more than words can ever say.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Michael Krasny, Host of \"Forum\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul Ramirez had a terrific mix of characteristics that added up to one amazing talent. He had an unwavering sense of outrage over people who had been wronged, along with a healthy skepticism of those with power and influence. He had all the skills of a sensational reporter: a tremendous curiosity about everyone and every place, the ability to listen, and the tremendous talent as a writer.\u003c/em> \u003cem>He had friends all over the world. He was living proof that it was a profession with a higher calling, but one that you could fall in love with while at the same time making a difference in the lives of everyone you touched. Because that's what he did. Despite having the skepticism of a great journalist, he somehow managed to be an eternal optimist. He loved life and worked hard to enjoy it to the fullest.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Larry Kramer, President and Publisher of USA Today\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>(In 1975) in the stark fluorescent-lit newsroom of the old San Francisco Examiner, Raul turned to me and reported: “I have been told not to talk to you anymore.” But (he) refused to abandon our story. ... Raul threw his own job to the wind and refused to accept the company decision ... to abandon me. He joined me in defending our story.\u003c/em> \u003cem>Raul’s willingness to stand up not only led to a lifelong friendship; it provides an example of selfless dedication to principle that never ceases to inspire me. Whenever I waver, whenever I need to stiffen my backbone about whether to do what’s right, I say to myself, “I am Raul Ramirez!”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Lowell Bergman, Graduate School of Journalism UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>A conversation with Raul Ramirez was the equivalent of reading a great book. His passion for and knowledge about societal issues, journalism, ethics, cultures — really about all things important in life — amazed me every time. Raul's voice was steady and strong, helping make the rest of us smarter and better.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">-- Robert M. Steele, DePauw University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul was on the forefront of the movement to promote diversity in journalism. He insisted that journalism students think about the people and communities who were most often left out of news stories. In 1994, Raul was part of a team of journalists who helped me conduct a national study into how news media coverage of communities of color was flawed by stereotypes and other problems. The San Francisco State University study was released at the historic Unity '94 joint conference of African-American, Asian-American, Latino and Native-American journalists. Raul’s thoughtful analysis contributed to the success and credibility of the study. Because of his stellar reputation, Raul was often asked to review journalism schools seeking accreditation, and he used that position as another way to stress the importance of diversity in journalism. We have lost a powerful and important voice in journalism, but I believe that Raul has left an important legacy by developing and shaping young new journalists.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Jon Funabiki, San Francisco State University\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\">\u003cem>Raul knows Asia and Asian-American affairs. He gets it. It was reassuring to work with such an editor. At a cafe, on a ride in his car, at a small restaurant, on the phone at 2 a.m., as well as in the office, Raul always made you feel like you were doing something right. Without Raul, no \"Pacific Time.\" We all worked at it, and many made it possible. But \"Pacific Time\" was what it was because Raul was firmly behind it. \"Pacific Time\" is grateful to Raul.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">— Nguyen Qui Duc, Host \"Pacific Time\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Raul was a natural teacher. He loved journalism and was eager to share his experiences and his skills with his students. His classes were an exchange more than a lecture. An atmosphere of respect permeated his teaching — respect for what journalism could be when practiced at its best, respect for the students’ insights and for their potential. He set high standards and gave critiques that helped them achieve high levels many didn’t think they could reach.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>As with his colleagues in all the places where he worked, Raul’s students came to know and like him. Inevitably, they learned from him not only the basics of journalism, or the skills of investigative reporting, but also from observation of him as teacher and journalist many of them learned what it is to be a good person, a person of integrity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\">-- Betty Medsger, journalist and educator, former chair of SFSU's Department of Journalism\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/qYJsejcyZRs?list=UU0FISFbEaHFc5ccrIgkZ3mg\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
