The Middle States Commission on Higher Education announced on Friday that it had placed the University of Maryland, College Park on warning amid a review of the university’s accreditation.
The accreditation agency’s decision, which puts the university’s accreditation at risk, is the latest development in the aftermath of football player Jordan McNair’s death from heatstroke in June 2018.
A statement that the commission released Friday noted that it put the university on warning during a meeting the previous day. The decision came after the university, in compliance with the commission’s instruction, submitted a supplemental report in February and met with commission leaders in late March or early April.
