In this week’s sad and unfortunate news, SC State’s President Thomas Elzey announced that the school is currently in jeopardy of losing is Accreditation. The school is requesting $14 million from the state’s lawmakers in order to pay its bills through June of 2014; the newly elected President stated that many of the unpaid bills date back to October of last year.
According the the Post and Courier, Elzey confessed that when he was hired for this position, he knew that he was, “walking into a Hornet’s Nest”, however he did not realize how serious the problems were with this school. Let’s hope South Carolina’s only public Historically Black College can bounce back with a balanced budget by next year!
