COLLEGES STEP IN TO HELP ALDERSON-BROADDUS STUDENTS

The lives of hundreds of students at Alderson Broaddus University have been turned upside down. The small Baptist university’s right to award degrees has been revoked starting December 31st. Students say the decision has left them feeling sad, frustrated, angry and bewildered. Some nearby colleges like Fairmont State University are offering one-time scholarships other universities are offering financial and academic aid. The board has hired a consultant to work with the university on “teach-out” plans to ensure students are able to finish their course of study.
