Morris Brown to Begin Process of Re-Accreditation
ATLANTA
Morris Brown College will begin the process of re-accreditation following the ruling of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) which denied its appeal for membership.
“We are clearly disappointed by the ruling,” said Sixth District African Methodist Episcopal Bishop Frank C. Cummings, chairman of the Morris Brown College Board of Trustees in a statement. “But Morris Brown will survive.” Cummings said the board will meet soon, and that the college has begun the process of communicating the SACS decision to stakeholders and supporters.
The closed-door appeal hearing before a panel of 9 college presidents was held earlier this month at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Atlanta. Former U.N. Ambassador and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young made an impassioned appeal to the Review Committee on behalf of the college.
