Los Angeles City College Campus Cdc

This college needs to seriously review its hiring, oversight, and campus safety response practices. One of LACC’s adjunct instructors, Steven Niles, has had recent public arrest records (2024–2025) following a serious safety incident connected to an educational/campus setting. I was personally involved as the reporting party and directly affected by the incident. Despite this, he continues teaching at LACC and also works with dual-enrollment high school students through an LACC partnership. I contacted the college to raise concerns and to ask how this incident was reviewed, what safeguards were implemented, and how student safety is being protected going forward. No clear or substantive response was provided. This is not about assigning guilt. It is about how a public college responds when a safety incident involving an instructor occurs in a campus-related environment, and whether appropriate transparency and accountability follow—especially when minors may be involved. Colleges have a responsibility to address such concerns openly and to explain how risks are assessed and mitigated. LACC should take these matters more seriously.

When I attended LACC I was placed on academic probation, had a sub 2.0 GPA and the only professor that really compelled me to come to class was Prof. Sedghi. When I transferred to a different community college my grades skyrocketed and I made both the President's List and the Dean's List back-to-back. Personally, I think that speaks volumes about the quality of education. LACC is what you make of it but the extent of that is limited by the competence of the administration and the quality of its instructors.

Excellent college. There are many good professors who are ready to help you achieve your goals. I have found many friends here. I recommend those who are looking for a place to study to consider this college. Unfortunately, there are some tyrant professors, most likely like in other colleges, whose subject is the only one and you have no alternatives. They can go too far, it's good that there is an opportunity to quit the class before it's too late.

career counselor is rude and condescending. if you're looking to see your options and wanted guidance, then i suggest you go elsewhere. instead of having a direction, plan for career exploration, and hope of going back to school; it felt like he was disuading me.i understood what he wanted me to do but there's a way of saying it that doesn't invalidate someone. I had to ask him what career center had for resources because he was stuck on asking me if i googled any of the careers. what an awful experience that was. he was late too. if you're disabled too, then good luck with finding a more patient counselor. i'm so disappointed with the treatment i recieved.

It’s a great place. Studied there for many weeks, and had a great experience. Although the dean kept dropping in to our study group to give these creative announcements. Unexpected. All else just great!
