Thousands of students pursuing associate's degrees through Tiffin University's Ivy Bridge College unit are reeling in the wake of the sudden announcement that Ivy Bridge will be closing in October. Tiffin announced on August 1 via a post on Facebook that would be discontinuing its degree programs effective October 20. The Toledo Blade reports that the sudden announcement regarding closure comes after Tiffin withdrew a proposal for accreditation for its Ivy Bridge programs made to The Higher Learning Commission after it became clear that it would not be supported by the accrediting body. The forthcoming closure may affect thousands of students pursuing online programs, many of whom have incurred tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
The Googasian Firm, P.C., a Michigan-based firm that has represented thousands of students in class actions arising from school closings, is investigating the developments at Tiffin and Ivy Bridge.
