Accreditor Warns Penn State

Pennsylvania State University's accreditor, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, has told the university that its accreditation status is "in jeopardy" because of the issues raised in recent investigations of the Jerry Sandusky scandal and the way officials responded to reports of child sexual abuse, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Penn State officials expressed confidence Monday that they would be able to demonstrate to Middle States that they have responded in appropriate ways to the failings identified in recent inquiries, and that accreditation should remain in place.
