Nanette Asimov has often been maligned by CCSF faculty as unfair to our college, and this was reflected in something she wrote for the SF Chronicle when she was reporting on AI for students.

Below the picture of her on a panel in 2012, when CCSF had been given Show Cause ( proof of why you shouldn't be closed down) and her taking notes at a rally, I've pasted what she says in reference to the blowback.
Now comes 80 words of personal stuff. I’m supposed to
describe an instance where I had to disclose difficult information.
So I write about a time when, in my stories for the
Chronicle, I revealed financial problems at a beloved local college. In those
stories, I explained, an accrediting agency complained about the college’s
management, and the college defended itself.
Next up, according to my AI counselor, I need 60 words
explaining the backlash or criticism I received.
I say that, as an impartial messenger, I was caught
between both sides: faculty furious that my stories made the college look bad,
and accreditors ticked at me for airing complaints about them. I write
that it hurt when people stopped taking my calls and someone spit at me.
