NEWARK -- Clergy leaders on Thursday denounced what they called a culture of political interference permeating Essex County College, as well as threatening its accreditation and ability to stay open.
"The social conditions at this college are causing students and faculty to live in an earthly hell," the Rev. Ronald L. Slaughter, pastor at Saint James AME Church in Newark, said at a press conference. "It's ridiculous that we are trying to get over the low hurdle of keeping accreditation."
The outcry comes a day before the school must show its accrediting agency how far it's come since a series of high-profile firings and financial probes rocked the college over the past year.

hopefully the public, alumni and donors will begin demanding change of these troubled institution.
Sounds like there’s too many friends hiring friends and the state is actually trying to help.

Yes. The college is troubled. I live in NJ, New Jerseyans have been hearing about this college for years now.
Colleges around the U.S. should look for these corruption/patronage, etc.
Gee, it is too bad that once you enroll in a college, you are forbidden to leave it when it becomes an “earthly hell”.
I remember the good old days when you could change colleges if you became dissatisfied with the one you were attending..
