By Kyeland Jackson —

U of L’s accrediting body named blamed Gov. Matt Bevin’s actions for the university’s accreditation, mandating U of L submit a monitoring report no later than Sept. 8.

The letter says all four accreditation standards were violated by Bevin’s orders, after the governor unilaterally dismissed the board of trustees and negotiated former president James Ramsey’s resignation.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, U of L’s accrediting body, said a special committee will visit the university to check its progress.
