Massachusetts Bay Community College has been barred by state regulatory officials from accepting new applicants into its nursing school, according to The Boston Globe.
The Board of Registration in Nursing wrote a letter to the school, stating that the nursing program lacked leadership and direction and that this threatened the school's ability to train qualified nurses. The fact that the program lacked a dean, a nursing program administrator, and several nursing instructors raised "grave concerns" about the school's ability to run a proficient program, according to board members.
The board also claimed that the college's provost tampered with one student's grades and inappropriately advanced the student through the program-charges that the provost is disputing. School officials said they are responding seriously to the board.
