New College Independent Alumni/ae Association

Would any other students like to file a class action lawsuit against the school for their egregious misconduct of funds and being a mockery of higher education, in turn losing their accreditation? Would any other alumnae/students affected by New College’s mismanagement like to file a class action lawsuit with me?

As reported previously, KPFA ran a fund raiser for New College on the air back in March.  A website run by New College board members and hangers-on used the link to the streaming radio show to raise additional funds.  After receiving many complaints from outraged members of the public, KPFA responded appropriately.  Recently, we had a brief conversation with a KPFA board member in Berkeley.

According to KPFA board member PhoeBe ANNE (sorgen), KPFA has strict rules regarding raising funds on the air.  Francisco Herrera, the host of “La Onda Bajita”, did not have permission to raise funds for New College.  He was punished by being removed from the air for a week (”La Onda Bajita” airs weekly).  Supporters of the show were outraged and felt that the host’s free speech rights were violated.  PhoeBe assures us that KPFA takes financial guidelines very seriously.
