By Kyeland Jackson —

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools partially cleared the air Wednesday, saying legislation appears to push U of L towards accreditation compliance.

Assistant Provost Connie Shumake briefed SACS Vice President Patricia Donat on passage of Senate Bill 12, a bill dissolving the current board of trustees for a smaller board vetted by Gov. Matt Bevin and the state government, and prospective Senate Bill 107. SB 107 would grant Bevin and appointing authorities power to dissolve “dysfunctional” boards of educational institutions.
