Baltimore International College, a nonprofit college that focuses on culinary and hospitality education, is finding it more difficult than expected to save its accreditation by merging into a for-profit institution. After the Middle States Commission on Higher Education revoked recognition, Baltimore International announced plans to merge into Stratford University, with the hope that Maryland officials and Stratford's accreditor, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, would approve the switch. But Middle States rejected the college's bid to hold on to its accreditation until a switch can be made, forcing Baltimore International into court this week to obtain a restraining order to stay accredited. Now in order to win an injunction to preserve accreditation from Middle States while it pursues the merger and new accreditation, the college may need to offer evidence that it has quality that Middle States previously doubted, The Baltimore Sun reported.
