Cod Bless you all. Attorney CO Pearson The Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Durham College, Dr. Guy R. Rankin, announced recently that after careful review, HEW has ac credited Durham College for participation in its many Federal programs. This action was taken by HEW as a result of the August "suspension of Durham College's ac creditation by A1CS. Under the general provi sions, HEW may afford eligibility for participation in campus based student financial aid programs, library assistance pro grams, community service and continuing education, academic facilities : pro grams, cooperative educa tion programs, Talent Search and Upward Bound, and other instuti tional based federal pro grams that will benefit students if said institutiton meets the criteria of Sec tion 1201 under Title XII. Under Section XII; Durham College is defined as: "an institution whose credits are . accepted, on transfer, by not less than three institution which are so accredited, for credit on the same basis as if transferred from an in stitution so accredited.'. This provision is com monly known among educators as the 3-I-C rule and requires that HEW determine that a school is offering a high quality educational experience for its students, and that the quality of -the educational experience is substantiated by a number of four year institutions of higher education. In a recent letter directed to the College, HEW " certified that Durham College meets the definition of an eligible in stitution for its major pro grams under the Higher Education Act of 1961 (as amended) and the Voca tional Act of 1963 (as . amended). In his announcement, Dr. J. W. Hill, President of the College, indicated ' this was a definite positive step in affirming the viability of the College. The Chairman; of the. Board expressed, bis .ap preciation to the 1 ad ministration and staff of Durham College for their diligent and tireless efforts .to continue to rjrovide y, high quality academic op portunities for its many disadvantaged students.
