they say it was just an innocent mistake. >> the gentleman told us he found the package and thought it best that he turn it into law enforcement as a lost and found property. because he was late to attend the opera, he left it propped up next to the police car which was unattended. >> it was quickly determined the bag contained a homeless man's clothing along with a computer. police say the good samaritan who moved the bag will not face any charges. time now 7:07. an investigation in livermore continues into two suspicious fires. they occurred within 30 feet of each other along a trail near lawens livermore laboratory. >> reporter: there are some smoldering spots out here. we saw crews douse this area with water. you can see a little bit of

brian? >> reporter: yes. it is considered a small and temporary victory for students, faculty, and staff here. as you mentioned, dave, several people do remain cautiously optimistic about this decision by the commission. ccsf had null july first to meet accrediting standards. the commission decided to give the college more time to meet those standards. to make that happen the commission decided to change its own policies and allow the college to apply for restoration status. the college would have to formally apply for that status and then after an intensive review ccsf would have two years to meet accreditation standards. it is expected that the college will apply for status. still, some again are cautiously optimistic over this decision. >> this has never been about us meeting accreditation standards.

this has been a political fight. what my concern is, is that this new status is going to enable them to have two more years to shape us in a way that we don't necessarily want to be shaped. >> reporter: now, the college would have to apply for july 31. if after two years they don't meet accreditation standards then the commission says termination implementation would be activated an an effective date will be immediate and that the college would have no other chance to appeal after that. it is also being reported in today's chronicle this morning that the attorney plans to keep the lawsuit moving forward against the commission which allegations missteps in the commission's conclusions about ccsf's accreditation in the first place. since questions arose about accreditation issues, ccsf says attendance and funding have dropped. time now 7:37. as we were telling you a couple minutes ago a rare species of

bird has been found dead on the golf course on the peninsula. the investigators think people are to blame. let's go back to ktvu's janine de la vega. what are golfers saying about this? >> reporter: they are not happy about it. you can see a lot of them are already out here on the course. this incident is being investigated. the golf course and the city have put up surveillance cameras near the remaining burrowing owls because they want to make sure these rare birds are protected. we are told it's unknown if this was done maliciously. in march a pair of the owls were found trapped inside their borough on the course. a plastic bottle filled with sand used to fill divots on the course was found shoved in the burrow which blocks the owls from getting out. the birds suffered from dehydration and environmental stress. one was dead. the other was rushed to a wildlife rescue center but had to be euthanized because of the

severity of its injuries. the department of fish and game is investigating. golfers are calling this tragic. >> it was actually pretty bad and tragic that that happened. but i thought the course did a really good job of letting everybody know that we have to share the course with the owls and we all, as golfers, need to be respectful of the owls' territory. >> it was unnecessary and destructive. why would somebody do something like that to some little animal? >> reporter: the bay area is just one of four nesting areas in the state and protecting this rare species is something the city of mountain view takes seriously. now there are reportedly only two mating pairs of burrowing owls and six chicks left. the golf course has sent out an email and posted notices in the pro shop alerting golfers about this incident. reporting live from mountainview, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. we have new information on developing news we have been following all morning in san

at least for now is certainly the key phrase there. people breathing a sigh of relief this morning after a junior college commission decided to give them more time to meet those accreditation standards. while this is a small victory for some. others say there is a lot of work to get done. in an unexpected move the accrediting commission for community and junior colleges decided to give the college more time to meet those standards. to make that happen the commission decided to change its own policies and allow the college to apply for restoration status. the college would have to formally apply for that status and after an intensive review ccsf would have two years to meet the accreditation standards. the move avoids ccsf from losing the accreditation at least for now. some are cautiously optimistic over the decision. >> we don't want to be reshaped. we value the fact that we are open and accessible and that we serve diverse communities that

really need us. >> every opportunity is there to keep our city college open and accredited. it's not there yet but we think this is a good sign. >> reporter: now, the college would have to apply to before the july 31 deadline which its expected to do. then they would have to be deemed eligible by the commission. if after two years ccsf doesn't meet accreditation standards termination would be activated and the effective date would be immediate and the college would not have another chance to appeal after that. in terms of a lawsuit filed by the attorney against the commission, he tells the "san francisco chronicle" this morning that that lawsuit will move forward. the policy does not apply just to ccsf as well. the commission says this applies to all junior and community colleges. we're live here in san francisco, brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, brian. 8:37. we have an update on a story we told you about last week about a student who says she was sexually assaulted by a
