Quote:The president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges says Gov. Matt Bevin's order to abolish and replace the university's board of trustees, and his "apparent involvement" in the negotiation of former President James Ramsey's resignation, has interfered with the board's decision-making authority.

Can't wait to see the Louisville spin team spin this one!

wow UNC even using SACS to help cover up for their academic cheating issues

"hey guys if we let in Louisville they surely have about 15 issues you can look at and you can go after them instead of us and that is still going after a "P5 program" to look good right wink wink"

the ACC is the new SEC SEC SEC only the ACC apparently throws conference members under the bus and ask to get THEM punished instead of throwing them under the bus and seeking punishment for a Sunbelt school

the ACC needs to find a "punishment relegation partner" stat

There is very little to say. I don't think this is indicative of anything that folks on here should care about, other than bashing folks.

The accreditation agency is warning the governor's office to quit micromanaging university leadership. It's warning that the meddling will backfire if it continues.

The shot is fired across the governor's bow, not the school's. You can bet that plenty of University of Louisville people are cheering this move--away from the microphones.

It's an interesting item if you follow academic news. There's nothing to see here if your goal is to talk sports-fan trash.

This could also foreshadow the kind of heat politicians might take if they get too involved in conference realignment, by twisting arms or making threats. Specifically thinking of OSU and the 3 Texas dwarfs.

That doesn't have anything to do with university governance.

LOL some of you folks are desperate

Seems that you are adding 2+2 and coming up with 5. At least the ACC isnt run by a bunch of imbeciles.

A governor threatening to "abolish and replace the university's board of trustees", along with funding issues, are about the only real power he/she would have in preventing a school from moving to a different conference. The governor threatened the former in this case, and he's taking heat for it. I could see the same thing happen if pro-OSU OK politicians try to stop OU from leaving one day.

Might want to take your computer in to the shop. Your response is missing around 35 lines of text.

I didn't realize that the ACC's red headed step child was accredited in the first place. What do community colleges have to do to get accreditation?

You just don't want to fall into the Day Care for Adults accreditation level.........which a lot of schools stay a little above that.

North Carolina should lose their's as well.

He replaced the entire board and the president. A governor doing normal rotating replacement is typical and not something the SACS would be concerned about. What happened at Louisville was a coup. Funding allocation issues are also not the purview of the accreditation agency.

Yes. 20+ years of fake classes were just the tip of the iceberg.

The new (current) governor is taking political heat from the other side because he completely rebuilt/re-constituted the non-statute-compliant previous board (which was extremely out of compliance). The old board, very badly out of compliance as it is, is now temporarily ruled to be the board in charge.

It is 100% about politics. And the party in charge of the Kentucky judges is willing to smack the Governor in the face for political reasons despite his attempt at trying to correct the extraordinary dysfunction and non-compliant board membership.

It's still not worth shutting down a University that is so valuable and so important to the State.

The punishment must be just in the end.

There should be horrific punishments for the athletic department and for the people involved but pulling accreditation isn't right to the people of the state.
