Mississippi's largest community college warned by accreditor - Associated Press

Mississippi's largest community college has been put on warning by its accrediting body, which cited financial problems and other issues. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, in a statement Friday, said that Hinds Community College was sanctioned because it's violating accrediting rules related to a sound financial base and stability, as well as the effectiveness of its educational programs. Academic accreditation is supposed to be a guarantee of basic quality, and it's required for students to receive federal financial aid. A warning is the lowest public level of sanction. http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/local/2017/06/24/mississippis-largest-community-college-warned-accreditor/426175001/
