You mention only Skyline and CCSF, but your LMI shows that there are already 6 programs in the East Bay. They awarded 13 of the 17 associate degrees and 16 of the 48 certificates mentioned in the COE's report. The COE concludes there is still an undersupply, but you should still have mentioned and reached out to the other colleges before submitting your proposal.
