Bishop College faces long road to reopening
Bishop College plans to open for its 98th term this fall but faces heavy federal oversight and unresolved debt. HEW requires a repayment plan for missing funds, approval of management plans, and strict program guidelines before $600,000 in funds are released to cover payroll and operations. College leaders dispute the total owed, while top administrators face embezzlement charges and leave of absence. Public support wanes as enrollment drops to about 1,100, with many donors awaiting a reorganization and possible leadership change.
