Community College of Denver (CCD) is a community college located in Denver, Colorado, United States. The main campus is at Auraria Campus, and it has five branch campuses named East, Lowry, North, Parkway and SouthWest. CCD focuses on underserved, first-generation and minority students. In 2006, nearly 60% of CCD students were first-generation and 50% qualified for financial aid.

[edit] Administration

The school's former President, Dr. Christine Johnson, was placed on administrative leave and eventually fired in June 2007 after allegations surfaced that she improperly authorized an adjunct faculty member to teach a math and a physics class, directed the school's CFO to underreport the school's reserves, and did not ensure that the school's financial reporting was accurate and timely. [2] The United States Department of Education is currently investigating allegations of financial aid fraud at the school.[3]

CCD is presently conducting a presidential search.
