SC State to keep accreditation

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (WOLO/AP) – We’re following developments, concerning the future of South Carolina State University. According to the school’s acting president – W. Franklin Evans – they’re “open for business.” The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges phoned Evans Thursday, telling him… South Carolina State will keep its accreditation, but it will remain on probation. The decision comes a month after lawmakers ousted the school’s board of trustees, replacing members with a temporary board. That board is entrusted with helping the South Carolina State emerge from millions of dollars in debt.
