The West Virginia Attorney General’s office will take legal action against a for-profit community college if it doesn’t stop trying to enroll students, according to a news release from the coordinating board that oversees all two-year colleges in the state.
West Virginia Business College, which has campuses in Nutter Fort and Wheeling, lost its accreditation in April and its permit to legally operate in the state will be revoked Friday.
Sarah Tucker, chancellor for the Community and Technical College System, said she received an email that was sent out to the college’s students that suggested the school intends to continue operating, even after its permit is revoked.
Brandy Woodland sent an email, which the Gazette-Mail obtained a copy of, to students on Tuesday morning. Woodland is listed in the email as the campus director of the Wheeling campus.
Woodland wrote that students who already graduated will receive a copy of their transcripts with their diplomas. The rest of the students, she wrote, would need to attend a “orientation for summer quarter, as has always been procedure.”
