Olivet University was ordered to cease operations after ongoing investigations into allegations of inadequate education, forced student labor, and failure to maintain essential records.
Judge Debra Nye-Perkins stated, 'The only degree of discipline that would protect the public is the revocation of respondent's approval to operate,' enforcing a halt to new enrollment.
University officials claimed the state investigation was influenced by racial and religious biases following negative media coverage, asserting that the reports were inaccurate and harmful.
Olivet University plans to appeal the ruling and has sought to operate under a 'religious exemption', despite the state’s findings regarding student safety and education quality.
