Southeastern Remains on Academic Probation

                                                                                                                         Vol. VI, No. 1, January 1993

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, while recognizing Southeastern Seminary's rapid progress, has decided the seminary will remain on probation for one more year in order to observe the completion of one entire cycle of the self-assessment and long-range planning processes which have been set in place at the seminary. President Paige Patterson indicated his "profound disappointment" in the decision but said he was not surprised. "I regret the necessity of the additional year of probation because of the monumental efforts and sacrifices of the entire seminary family to realize this goal as quickly as possible," said Patterson. "But I am encouraged by the Association's recognition of our significant progress and their offer of further assistance." [BP]
