The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (HEPC) has unanimously revoked Alderson Broaddus University's authorization to award degrees due to the institution's financial condition, rendering it unable to provide a stable and safe learning environment. The university will not be allowed to enroll new students starting from Fall 2023, but seniors scheduled to graduate in the same term may return to complete their degrees. The university's Board of Trustees has voted to develop a plan of dissolution, and more details will be communicated regarding the assistance provided to students, faculty, and staff affected by this decision.

West Virginia Governor Takes Action to Rescue Alderson Broaddus University

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has called on state officials to work with Alderson Broaddus University's leadership to prevent the private university from closing.
