Paul Smith’s College Asked For ‘Teach Out

The accreditation commission for Paul Smith’s College is asking the Adirondack school to submit a plan to relocate students should it cease programs or operations. Instead of approving the financially struggling college’s request to be acquired by The Fedcap Group, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education took the unusual step of calling for the college’s “teach-out plan.” School officials say they have no plans to close.
