Reads like an Ad[edit]

This article is written almost like an advertisement. The wording could be changed a bit. Bapinney 09:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This was written by the college itself, or at least, it sure reads like it (use of "our")! Thinboy00 21:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"will provides"?[edit]

"therefore, the college will:

provides..."--not verbatim Thinboy00 21:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup 2009[edit]

Major cleanup effort. I added an infobox, culled all the promotional text and revised the whole thing in general. Also added Wikiprojects to help promote more editing. A servicable stub now. --Lendorien (talk) 19:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

News sources[edit]

Here are a few articles I pulled from the LA Times that have at least some content related to LASC. I've included a quote to give a sense of the kind of content:

[1], [2]
Santa Monica College and Los Angeles Southwest College are only 13 miles apart but have an immense gap when it comes to transferring students to a University of California campus, a new report says. Santa Monica sent 783 students last year, by far the most of 112 community colleges in the state, while Southwest sent just four, among the lowest.

[3]
Los Angeles Southwest College was warned last year to make sure that students taking online classes receive adequate tutoring, counseling and other services. The school had been put on probation the year before.

[4]
the board voted unanimously to name Linda D. Rose as the new president of Los Angeles Southwest College

[5], [6]
At Southwest College, another Eisenberg plan for solar arrays was coming undone. The Newport-Inglewood fault slices through the campus, and the Division of the State Architect rejected a solar installation on safety grounds.

[7]
"After the Watts rebellion, Dominguez Hills was one of a trio of higher-education institutions that included Southwest College and Charles R. Drew University that were born to address the lack of higher education in the area," said Buscaino

I would welcome help integrating these into the article. (There must be more on some of these subjects, but I wasn't trying very hard.) --JBL (talk) 15:03, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
