Jordan College (Michigan)
Jordan College was a small, four year liberal arts college in Michigan that closed in 1996. It had campuses at Cedar Springs, Flint, Grand Rapids (School of Hair Design/ Business) and Detroit. Earlier in the 1990s Jordan College had been involved in litigation regarding claims of mismanagement of federal student aid dollars.
Jordan College opened its branch campuses in 1967. It first sought accreditation with a regional accreditation organization in 1988. By the 1990s it was faced with charges of fraud, although it was claimed by Carl Levin among others, that Jordan was just suffering from hard economic times. However it appears some individuals, specifically one time trustee James Moored, had been involved in outright fraud.

“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
