Bishop Eddie Long’s Satellite University Unaccredited
By newsobserver.com
Um, About that Four-Year Degree …
National (ChristianPRgroup) - Students at Atlanta megachurch Bishop Eddie Long’s satellite university campus have been informed that their bachelor’s degrees are useless after officials discovered the school was unaccredited. The New Birth Missionary Baptist Church campus, which offered a satellite program of North Carolina Central University (NCCU) in Durham, N.C., closed down in June when the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) reviewed the school and would not approve it. The move affected 39 students currently enrolled and at least 25 who had already received degrees. It was announced this week that NCCU will have to repay students any federal loan money issued since the New Birth campus began in 2004. Long is working with University of North Carolina system President Erskine Bowles, who blames NCCU’s prior leadership—which established the program—for failing to seeking SACS accreditation until earlier this summer.

I do hope Bishop Long gets this all worked out
