New Life for Paul Quinn College

In 2009 Paul Quinn College, the historically black educational institution in Dallas, was stripped of its accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The college appealed the decision and was able to keep its good standing while the appeals process was underway.

But Paul Quinn president Michael Sorrell hedged his bet and also applied for accreditation from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). Earlier this month, TRACS granted full accreditation to Paul Quinn College.
