Follow-up inspection receives positive response from Middle States committee, Larson says
By Karen Wall
Kean University has passed “a significant hurdle” in its bid to be reaccredited, Ocean County College President Jon H. Larson told the OCC Board of Trustees on Monday.
“It isn’t done until it’s done,” he told the trustees, “but they are on a positive track.”
Kean, which is partnering with Ocean County College on a program called Kean@Ocean that will allow students to complete a bachelor’s or a master’s program while taking all of their courses at OCC’s Toms River campus, was put on probationary accreditation status this summer by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education for failing to meet four of the commission’s 14 standards.
Kean, which began undergoing its most recent accreditation review last year, was put on probation in June when, according to Middle States officials, the university had failed to address adequately a list of issues the accreditation inspection team had listed.
