DALLAS — The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) announced June 28 that it had placed Criswell College on a one-year probation period.
“Criswell College was continued in accreditation for good cause and placed on probation because the commission determined that it failed to demonstrate compliance with Comprehensive Standard 3.10.1 (Financial Stability) and Comprehensive Standard 3.10.4 (Control of Finances) of the [SACS] Principles of Accreditation,” the statement from the association read. “These standards expect an accredited institution to provide evidence that it has (1) a recent financial history that demonstrates financial stability and (2) appropriate control over all its financial resources.”
The statement said SACS officials would continue studying the school’s finances and make another determination on Criswell’s status in June 2008. Criswell President Jerry Johnson expressed surprise at the sanction.
