Eastern gateway community college placed on probation by higher learning commission

Ouch, I wonder what happened "really". It seems they were focused on expanding by providing "free" college for those part of an affiliated union, but may not have put more focus on content/quality/teaching, etc... I also wonder how they can sustain a "free" degree if no one is paying for it, I assume it's all "taxpayer" and government funded.

Here's a snippet of the article: The commission changed EGCC’s status from “Accredited” to “Accredited – On Probation” because the Steubenville-based school does not meet the commission’s criteria for accreditation related to teaching and learning for quality, resources, support, evaluation and improvement, according to a letter released Tuesday.
