Dive Brief:

• The City of San Francisco and a teacher’s union have asked a judge to block the revocation of accreditation of City College of San Francisco.
• Both parties argue that an injunction is needed to prevent the serious harm a school closure would bring.
• As part of a long-running dispute, the college has been threatened with the loss of accreditation in July unless it can turn things around, something its leaders say they are making progress toward.

Dive Insight:

Even if the college is making progress toward its goals, the school's backers are being smart by waging the war to keep it open on more than one front. If any preliminary injunction succeeds only in buying them time to right the school and salvage its accreditation, it will have been a smart tactic.
