Interim President Greg Postel answered media questions Tuesday in his first public interview since becoming interim president two weeks ago.
Questions primarily focused on issues concerning accreditation, controlled by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, U of L’s accrediting body.
SACS put the university on probation in December, citing accreditation standards violated by Governor Matt Bevin’s executive orders to abolish U of L’s Board of Trustees and negotiate James Ramsey’s resignation. Legislators responded with Senate Bill 12 and Senate Bill 107, aiming to appease accreditation standards via state oversight and lawful termination of university trustees.
