Officials from Ocean County College are scheduled to sit down today with officials from Kean University to discuss the warning Kean has received about a potential loss of accreditation.

“We’re meeting with Kean tomorrow,” Carl V. Thulin, chairman of the OCC Board of Trustees, said after the trustees’ meeting Monday at the college.

“There is no reason why these issues cannot be addressed,” OCC President Jon Larson said. “Our goal is to move it along.”

Kean, which has partnered with Ocean County College in the Kean@Ocean program to provide a direct path for OCC students to complete a four-year course of study at the community college’s campus, has been placed on probation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
