ORUTerry Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Not sure how this can happen to a school like TU. Even an institution like Langston that has a very low pass rate for the teacher certification test is still accredited.

ORUalum Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 i thought universities had faculty committees and conducted self studies and assessments prior to accreditation visits to prevent stuff like this. heads should role in the TU administration. very embarrassing for a good academic institution.

ORUJason Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I am sure someone will get fired over this, and it would probably be the undergraduate dean of education. That is inexcusable, especially for a school like TU that tries to emphasize excellent academics as their biggest drawing card. I have no idea who is truly at fault in the TU education department, but I think that "tenured" professors can often get very lazy and comfortable. I have never been a big fan of tenure making an employee basically untouchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
