Saint Augustine’s Loses Accreditation Appeal
February 28, 2024
Struggling Saint Augustine’s University (FL) has lost an appeal to maintain its accreditation and now plans to file an injunction to ask the courts to weigh in, SAU officials
announced Tuesday. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges stripped the university of accreditation in December over
financial and governance issues. However, SAU remained accredited until the appeal process played out. Now litigation is SAU’s only lifeline.
