"Northeast Technical College fired its president last week, reversing course on a resignation agreement accepted by the board just two weeks earlier that would have reportedly kept him in the job until June."
"NETC failed one or more invisible students, transforming them, via a flawed fast track scheme, into ghost students-haunting the reliability of NETC's enrollment numbers. Inflated enrollment numbers provided additional funding to NETC which served select faculty and staff justifying salary increases and/or bonuses,"
"Due to the inadequacies of NETC staff, some students were left with grade discrepancies, issues with financial aid eligibility at future institutions, and unreconciled student account balances."
Northeastern Technical College abruptly terminated president Kyle Wagner effective immediately after the governing board rescinded a resignation agreement submitted Nov. 11; Wagner had been on medical leave. The board voted to begin an immediate search for a new president. The college faced accreditation sanctions last December from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges for compliance concerns, including insufficient numbers of full-time faculty. The South Carolina Office of the State Inspector General found that some high school students were enrolled in additional dual-enrollment classes without their knowledge, producing unexpected bills and financial benefit to certain college employees, including Wagner.
