Illinois Board of Higher Education appoints officer to oversee next steps in Morthland College investigation

WEST FRANKFORT –  In a unanimous vote during a special meeting Tuesday, the Illinois Board of Higher Education appointed a hearing officer to oversee the possible revocation of Morthland College’s authority to operate and grant degrees.

In a seven-page report detailing a review IBHE conducted in September, concerns are raised involving the financial stability of the institution, its relationship with sports academies and its record keeping.

A letter from IBHE in 2017 states that according to the Illinois Amended Code 1030, notification of investigation is the first step in what could lead to the revocation of a college’s certificate of approval to operate.
