History
The college, previously known as Edison Junior College, Edison Community College and Edison College, admitted its first students in the fall of 1962. In 2011, the Edison experienced turmoil as faculty voted no confidence in its president and senior vice president; a few weeks later, President Kenneth Walker announced his impending resignation planned for 2013 while at the same time the Board of Trustees announced plans to reinstate a former vice president for academic affairs who had "raised allegations of racial discrimination in the hiring of a dean." Just over a year later in June 2012, the college's regional accreditor placed the institution on probation in the wake of continuing problems.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
