    Dozens of Calif. community colleges failed to turn over fraud data on possible fake enrollment

    Dozens of community colleges, including Los Angeles City College, haven't provided data related to enrollment fraud since the chancellor’ s office started asking for it last August.

    LOS ANGELES — Despite a request last August from the chancellor's office that all 116 California Community Colleges report on enrollment fraud involving fake student bots, nearly 40% of campuses failed to submit any information, deepening concerns among the Board of Governors on Monday about the extent of possible wrongdoing and how it may be affecting the system's plunging enrollment.

    The lack of responses from 44 campuses — including all nine within the Los Angeles Community College District, the largest district in the nation — makes it difficult for officials to assess whether the community college system and how widespread fake enrollments may be at a time when administrators are scrambling to figure out how to stem an estimated enrollment drop of 20% from fall 2019 to fall 2021.
