Columbia Receives Warning That School's Accreditation Is At Risk
Columbia University received a warning that its accreditation may be 'in jeopardy' from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which cited 'insufficient evidence' that the school is in compliance with certain standards like fostering a respectful campus climate.
The commission, which evaluates higher education institutions across the US, said Columbia remains accredited while on warning. The organization also cited concerns over Columbia maintaining a safety plan and following government laws and regulations, according to the commission's website.
