The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) has removed probation sanctions previously placed on Wiley College, a private historically Black college in Eastern Texas.

Since then, Wiley College says it has "launched and achieved a strategic set of actions that led to increased fundraising and effective finance practices" and "significantly strengthened the college's fiscal health." As a result, Wiley will have not have to undergo any more monitoring or follow-up from the SACSCOC until it applies for recertification in 2023.
“Wiley College stands firmly on its 148+ year foundation and continues to demonstrate excellence despite this previous obstacle," said Dr. Herman J. Felton, Jr., president of Wiley College. "The removal of probation sanctions signal that we are a community of educators who believe that Wiley College is significant to the higher education landscape and worked hard to secure our future. I am extremely proud of the Wiley College family, who was steadfast in their actions and communication. The campus community came together to secure Wiley’s future through their actions, despite being in a global pandemic.”
