Mary Baldwin University put on probation by accreditation bodyMary Baldwin University has been placed on probation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.augustafreepress.comMeg Mulrooney

Author leads with Hopkins, but it’s the rest of the list that truly matters. Regional publics and small private colleges. Very bad news. www.insidehighered.com/news/busines...
