Morris Brown Shortens Spring Semester
ATLANTA
Troubled Morris Brown College announced it would abridge its 15-week spring semester into seven weeks so students can complete classes before an accreditation appeal hearing.
Last month, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools revoked accreditation at the private, historically Black college (see Black Issues, Jan. 2). Earlier this month, school officials filed an appeal of the decision. An appeals committee of 12 college presidents from schools in the region will meet in Atlanta to hear the school’s case. The hearing is expected to be held in March. Until the hearing, Morris Brown can retain its accredited status. If the college loses, students will not be eligible for federal financial aid.
