Senator Jim Beall (D - Campbell) who co-authored the audit request noted the ACCJC "virtually operates unfettered with little to no oversight yet its decisions have a direct impact on the world's biggest system of higher education with over two million students. The public and the Legislature deserve to understand how this commission makes and arrives at decisions that affect the future of so many Californians.'' The audit request was sponsored by the California Community College Independents with supporting testimony from FACCC, CFT, CTA, and Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D - San Francisco).
