Many press reports have indicated that the accreditation of Gordon College, a Christian institution, is in danger because of concerns the New England Association of Schools and Colleges has about the college's policies barring sex except between married heterosexual couples. But Barbara Brittingham, president of N.E.A.S.C., told CBN that Gordon's accreditation is not in danger, and that reports currently being prepared are "routine." Brittingham confirmed the statement to Inside Higher Ed.
