Dillard got another yearlong extension, he said, because of Hurricane Katrina, which hit in August 2005 and flooded the campus and much of the city.
"We think we've been very fair and accommodating," Benberg said. "We want this institution to succeed within the framework of accreditation standards, and we want to be reasonable with them, and we want to be encouraging."
At the December meeting, Benberg said the board could remove the warning, or sanction, if it finds Dillard has complied with its requests; keep the warning in effect and request another report; put Dillard on probation, a more serious action than the current warning; or revoke its accreditation.
