UNC sends 'first monitoring report' to accrediting agency
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill said Friday that it has sent a "first monitoring report" to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, which is the university's regional accrediting body.

“My colleagues and I have worked diligently to produce a report that comprehensively answers the Commission’s specific information requests and demonstrates the University’s compliance with the Commission’s Principles of Accreditation as well as the basis for our confidence in the quality and integrity of our academic programs,” UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Carol Folt said in an accompanying letter.
The organization put the school on a 12-month probation on June 11, 2015 after SACS found the university violated seven principles, including integrity, program content, control of intercollegiate athletics, academic support services, academic freedom, faculty role in governance and Title IV program responsibilities.
The university did not lose its accreditation, but it was given a year to demonstrate that recent academic reforms are working.
The SACS Board of Trustees will make a final decision on the university’s accreditation status in June.
