KC appeals loss of accreditation
For the second time in 11 years, Knoxville College is in danger of losing its accreditation. In December, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools decided to remove Knoxville College from its membership. At this time, KC is appealing this decision. Dr. Roland HarrisJr., acting President, said that we would know more about the effectiveness of the appeal by the end of March or early April. Harris said the main reason SACS decided on removing KC from membership was the estimated 3.2 million dollar deficit the school is attempting to pay off. The SACS decision put an even bigger cloud over the head of the KC administration. Just a few months ago, the City-Council of Morristown imposed a $53,000 tax on Knoxville College for the Morristown property. Harris said that these ongoing problems make it difficult to recruit new students and keep the ones currently enrolled. Another reason for the SACS decision is the recent lack of organization of the Financial Aid office. Important documents were not properly filled out which put a burden on students trying to recieve student loans. ^ At the present time, the administration is preparing to find three schools that will accept KC students credit hours (without penalizing the student by making them lose class standing) in the George E. Curry, Editor Of Emerge Magazine event that the appeal is not sucessful. Dr. Harris said that we (the Photo by Margaret Bentlage administration) do realize the problems with the school are not the News-Sentinel Photographer fault of the students, but we need the help of everyone, especially the students,to make it through these difficult times.
