The 2021 Santa Barbara County Grand Jury investigated a broad complaint about the governance of Allan Hancock College. The complaint covered seven years and alleged: (i) financial mismanagement at the College; (ii) grade manipulation at the College; and (iii) a generally difficult work environment at the College, involving inappropriate hiring, promotion, and personnel evaluation practices. The Jury did not find systemic support for those allegations. The Jury recommends new evaluation and reporting measures to improve overall transparency in the management of Allan Hancock College.
