We Are Losing All Our HBCUs
Oldest Historically-Black College In Texas Losing Accreditation
I have to say that I have never heard of this school but there are alot of schools that I haven’t heard of, but they still need help. The oldest historically-black college in Texas may be on the verge of closing because it’s losing the accreditation it needs to award bona fide degrees. Paul Quinn College, in South Oak Cliff, is losing its accreditation because of a range of academic and financial shortfalls. Accreditation is required not only for colleges to award diplomas but also to offer federal financial aid. Also, most other colleges will not accept transfer credits from non-accredited schools. Paul Quinn administrators plan an immediate appeal but if that fails, the school’s 440 students will be forced to go elsewhere. Founded in 1872, Paul Quinn is the oldest of eight historically-black colleges in Texas. After more than a century in Austin and then Waco, the college moved to its current South Oak Cliff campus in 1990.

That is really sad news. It is even worst for the students who have been working hard towards getting a degree that may have to basically start all over. I am still trying to finish up my four year college degree myself, and I know ho difficult it could be. I hope they do get their accreditation back.
