YSU anticipates reaccreditation process

YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State University will be putting its best foot forward when some special visitors arrive on campus later this month.

A visitation team from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools will give the university close scrutiny Feb. 18-20.

The examination of programs, facilities, faculty and more is part of YSU’s efforts to secure reaccreditation from the commission for another 10-year period.

The current accreditation expires this year, coinciding with YSU’s centennial celebration.

Dr. David C. Sweet, YSU president, told the university’s Academic Senate Wednesday that YSU has put together a good case backing its reaccreditation bid.
