Troubled college shakes up board, plugs shortfall to try to keep accreditation - Karen Yi, NJ.com

After months of infighting, back-and-forth allegations of wrongdoing and a somber report from its accrediting agency, Essex County College has shaken up its Board of Trustees -- and sought help from the county to plug a budget shortfall. Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr. announced the county would transfer an additional $1.5 million to the college's operating budget, upping the county's total contribution to $13.95 million this year. "We understand the college is going through a financial crisis, and this transfer of additional funds will help them through this difficult time. We want to make sure we are doing all we can to help Essex County College with its Middle States evaluation and to move the college forward," DiVincenzo said. http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2017/11/county_helps_essex_county_college_plug_shortfall.html
