The decision comes a little over a month after federal, state and local law enforcement authorities executed a search warrant on the campus related to 'concerns about financial irregularities.' And two former college leaders were indicted in August for misusing college credit cards, WFMJ reported.
The halt in enrollment also follows the shuttering of a controversial free college benefit for union members last summer, after the U.S. Department of Education alleged the college violated federal financial aid rules by subsidizing students who were ineligible for Pell Grants.
'We have a plan to ensure students finish this semester as normal,' Gasior said in a press release distributed after the meeting. 'And while we pause registration for the summer and beyond, Youngstown State University primarily and community colleges from throughout the region have offered to welcome our students, provide continuity, and allow students to continue their programs of study as seamlessly as possible for their next semester.'
