By Andrew Hebert–

Last week, the Franklin Circuit Court held a hearing to help determine whether or not Matt Bevin acted beyond his reach when he removed the University of Louisville board of trustees. The main issue was to determine if Bevin’s actions jeopardized the university’s accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

Attorney General Andy Beshear argued that Bevin’s actions could result in a loss of accreditation with the SACS, which in turn would cause the university to lose access to financial aid and research grants for students.
