Controversy

In May 2006 Thomas W. Wollett, the former Dean of Education, pleaded guilty in federal court to making false statements to the U.S. Department of Education to procure financial aid for students. This did not affect the degree programs but, as a result, the Diploma programs for veterinary technology, criminal justice and massage therapy were not accredited between 2001 and 2004.
