Sojourner-Douglas College in danger of losing accreditation - Carrie Wells, The Baltimore Sun

Sojourner-Douglass College in Baltimore is in danger of losing its accreditation and faces serious financial challenges, leaving the small private college's future uncertain. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the accrediting body for colleges in Maryland and several other states, directed Sojourner-Douglass College officials last week to "show cause," or prove by Sept. 1 why its accreditation should not be revoked. The college's president, Charles W. Simmons, said Wednesday that officials were in the midst of a plan to rescue the institution's finances and they believed they were close to having at least one investor commit money to help. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/blog/bs-md-sojourner-douglass-college-accredidation-20140312,0,7020601.story#ixzz2vmX0dETc
