The beleaguered Morris Brown College is attempting to raise $500,000 to erase a multi-million dollar debt owed to the U.S. Department of Education, a step that -- if successful -- could help the school regain accreditation.
The federal government agreed in May to eliminate the historically black college's $9.9 million debt, provided the school pays the reduced amount by Aug. 24. The college has raised $365,000 so far, according to a note sent to alumni this week. If they fail to meet this deadline, school officials will likely renew discussion over how to pay the debt.
President Stanley Pritchett was confident the college would meet the deadline, but through a spokeswoman declined additional comments until then.
