PROBATION The Higher Learning Commission has placed Wheeling University on probation, saying the school lacks the fiscal resources to sustain itself.
WHEELING The Higher Learning Commission has placed Wheeling University on probation after determining the school “does not have sufficient fiscal resources to support its operation,” and relies too heavily on subsidies it receives from the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
HLC President Barbara Gellman-Danley sent a letter to WU President Ginny Favede dated Thursday, notifying the school of its probation and outlining the reasons behind its decision.
In a response released Monday, Favede said Wheeling University remains “fully accredited by the HLC” while working to address concerns raised by the group’s decision. She added that, though the school is on probation, the commission also has removed the “financial distress” designation imposed on WU in May 2019.
