ASHEBORO (July 1, 2010) - Approximately 150 Randolph Community College students, faculty, staff, trustees, and community partners gathered in the Learning Resources Center auditorium on the Asheboro Campus to hear President Bob Shackleford announce that RCC remains fully accredited, but the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has placed RCC on warning status for the next 12 months - the outcome of the reaffirmation visit by SACS in September 2009. By the end of the meeting in which Dr. Shackleford outlined what had happened during the reaffirmation process and RCC's response to SACS' single compliance recommendation for RCC, it was clear that the extended RCC family agreed with Dr. Shackleford's assessment, "I believe SACS badly missed this call."
That extended family included Bob Morrison, president of Randolph Hospital; Donald Andrews, superintendent of Randolph County Schools; and Randolph County Sheriff Maynard Reid. At the end of the presentation, Morrison stood up and said, "We know the quality of what you are doing (at RCC) because we hire your graduates." Sheriff Reid agreed, "The students we hire from RCC are some of the best officers I've ever had. I'll have to disagree with SACS."
