Saint Augustine’s University Files for Bankruptcy Amid Financial Struggles
Saint Augustine’s University in North Carolina has filed for bankruptcy as part of a strategy to address its financial challenges and ensure long-term sustainability. The historically Black university owes over $14 million to the IRS and $8 million to other federal agencies, with total liabilities estimated between $50 million and $100 million. Despite the bankruptcy, the university plans to continue offering certificate and noncredit programs. The institution has faced ongoing financial difficulties, including losing accreditation twice in recent years. The university's interim president, Jennie Ward-Robinson, is stepping down, with Verjanis A. Peoples taking over as interim leader.
