Ongoing Trouble for Barber-Scotia
CHAPEL HILL — It’s been a troubling few months for officials at Barber-Scotia College. In February, President Sammie Potts announced his sudden resignation and gave no reason as for his departure. A few months later, school officials sent out letters to about 30 students who planned to graduate to inform them that the school awarded them too many “life experiences” credits and that they would have to take some courses to receive a diploma. The school’s troubles, including weak finances, have continued with notification that Barber-Scotia had lost its accreditation. This came after the school was given a warning by the accrediting association in December.
