West Virginia Reauthorizes Wheeling

The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission conditionally approved an annual reauthorization for Wheeling University Friday, two weeks after delaying a decision because the Roman Catholic institution placed two of its top leaders on administrative leave. But the struggling university isn’t out of the woods by a long shot. 
The commission flagged significant issues that call into question the university’s ability to continue operating beyond the upcoming year. It is also requiring the university to submit more information on its finances, academic support and leadership.
