Alderson Broaddus University Loses Degree Granting Authority
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.
