Dive Short:

  • Bay State College, a beleaguered for-revenue institution in Massachusetts, will formally drop its accreditation this summer season just after regulators introduced Monday they had denied its attraction to keep it.
  • The New England Fee of Increased Training stated it will strip Bay Point out of its accreditation at the end of August, a go that will protect against its students from accessing federal monetary support.

Dive Perception:

The New England Fee of Increased Training, or NECHE, explained in January it meant to nix Bay State’s accreditation. 

But the for-income establishment, which has grappled with a long time of enrollment declines and a ballooning spending budget deficit, said it supposed to combat NECHE’s final decision. 

It missing that enchantment.

NECHE President Lawrence Schall reported in a statement Monday the accreditor affirmed its January final decision and that Bay Condition lacks “sufficient human, economical, info, actual physical, and technological means and capability to aid its mission.”

Bay Condition stated in an emailed assertion Tuesday it’s “deeply disappointed” by the determination to rescind accreditation. It termed the accreditor’s withdrawal flawed, and said it lacked evidence to exhibit the faculty was in a bad economic posture.

“The Commission’s conclusion and the denial of the enchantment has upset the lives of hundreds of learners who have observed achievements at Bay Condition School for the reason that of the supportive ecosystem the Faculty supplies,” Bay State explained.

The Boston World noted that Bay State’s interim president advised college students that it will aid them end their levels, possibly at the for-revenue college or university or other establishments with which it arranged transfer chances. These colleges consist of Suffolk University, Fisher College and Bunker Hill Group College or university.
