The following is from an e-mail I received from University Relations, just in case you haven’t received it yet:

Penn State is in full compliance with all accreditation requirements, according to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), which has lifted its ‘warning’ and Thursday (Nov. 15) reaffirmed the University’s accreditation.

While Penn State’s accreditation always remained intact, the University was put on warning by MSCHE on Aug. 8, based on the fallout from the sexual abuse scandal involving retired former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

“When notified of the warning we were confident we could verify our ongoing commitment to integrity, stable leadership and financial security — the areas that Middle States had questioned. I’m grateful that these areas of strength have now been validated by Middle States,” said Penn State President Rodney Erickson. “While the excellence of our educational programs was never in question, it is reassuring that Middle States continues to recognize Penn State as a world-class academic institution that is stepping up to meet its current challenges.”
