"Morris Brown College earning full accreditation is a significant achievement demonstrating that it holds quality standards and is engaged in continuous improvement. Furthermore, the college has been reinstated to participate in the Federal Financial Aid Program," the college said in a <a href="https://morrisbrown.edu/accreditation-2022/">statement</a> on Wednesday. Now with reaccreditation, which was received following a vote from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, the institution will be able to get federal education funding, <a href="https://www.cbs46.com/2022/04/26/morris-brown-college-officially-regains-full-accreditation-after-nearly-20-years/">CBS4 reported</a>.In addition, students who attend will be able to walk away after graduation with accredited degrees, according to the report. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—The Atlanta Voice (@theatlantavoice) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1519722700951855104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 28, 2022</a></blockquote>The win for the institution is a result of the alumni and the community working to address the school's tremendous debt, over $30 million, according to CBS.<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/27/us/morris-brown-college-accreditation-restored/index.html">CNN reported</a> that throughout the years, the school's student population ranged between 30 and 50 students. Despite this and other challenges, the school never closed its doors. The outlet reported that it was the push for a "hard reset" from the college's current President Kevin James that helped it get accreditation. "I am honored to lead this great institution. Many thought that this feat was impossible, but due to our strong faith in God, our hardworking and wonderful faculty and staff, the support of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, our dedicated alumni, and our resilient spirit, we were able to achieve full accreditation," President Kevin James said in the statement. "This was truly The Hard Reset. This is just the beginning!"Civil rights activist Hosea Williams, writer James Alan McPherson and Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luter King Jr., are among the notable alumni who attended the college.

He also was one of the first to say <a href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/marketing-expert-scott-galloway-on-wework-and-adam-neumann.html">WeWork</a> was headed for trouble with its IPO. Now, he thinks higher education is about to be shaken up like never before. In an interview with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/scott-galloway-on-healthcare-education-retail-media-entrepreneurship-2020-5">Business Insider</a>, Galloway said the second-most-disreputable industry, after healthcare right now is education. He expects the top institutions to see a "dip" and come back stronger, but says many second-tier universities may never reopen."You're going to see a lot of universities, whether it's a university like Drexel, or Pace, or even a Fordham, I think schools like that may never reopen. We're about to see the disruption in education we've been predicting for decades," he said.In some ways, the colleges have already seen significant change. The coronavirus pandemic has forced colleges and universities across the nation to go fully remote, taking lectures and labs online in the form of video chats and shared online documents. And many students aren't happy. Some have <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2020/05/09/iu-student-files-lawsuit-seeks-reimbursement-after-classes-moved-online-coronavirus/3103393001/">sued their college</a> for tuition reimbursement, including students at Indiana University, Purdue University, University of Michigan, George Washington University, Boston University, Brown University, and others. This might just be the beginning. "We in academia have lost the script and see ourselves now as luxury brands as opposed to public servants," he said, citing high costs and rising debt among young people. "But here's the thing, the jig is up. People are recognizing that a bunch of Zoom classes without the campus experience is not worth $18,000, much less $58,000 or $68,000," he added. Most colleges and universities are dependent on tuition and room and board from semester to to semester, Christina Paxson, president of Brown University, writes in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/26/opinion/coronavirus-colleges-universities.html">The New York Times</a>. "Remaining closed in the fall means losing as much as half of our revenue," she writes. In other words, if many students defer a semester or a year, things could drastically change.A growing number of colleges face serious financial problems, <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/05/08/metro/amid-pandemic-growing-list-colleges-financial-peril/">The Boston Globe</a> reported. Before the pandemic, 13 higher education institutions in New England paced financial peril and were in danger of closing within six years, research by Edmit, a Boston-based college advising company showed. Now, that number has jumped to 25. The president of <a href="https://www.ithacajournal.com/story/news/local/2020/05/08/wells-college-fall-semester-closing-coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing/3098149001/">Wells College</a> in Aurora, New York, said in a statement to the college community that if the college doesn't receive room and board payments for the fall semester, it will be forced to shut down.<a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2020/05/04/colleges-field-more-questions-seniors-about-deferring-admission">Inside Higher Ed</a> reports that colleges are seeing an uptick in questions about deferment. Galloway expects it to be "a terrible year for the end consumer, as we, as academics try to maintain this hallucination that we can continue to charge what we're charging for a totally substandard experience via Zoom."He encourages students who are about to start their undergraduate program or a business-school program this fall to take a gap year.
