Sanctions removal to
be recommended for
SWBTS, Dockery says
FORT WORTH, Texas — Sanctions placed on Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2023 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) will be recommended for removal, President David S. Dockery announced in a letter to the seminary community April 8. The letter comes after an April 6-7 visit from a SACSCOC team who met with seminary board members, administrators, faculty, staff and students to evaluate the current status of the institution. Sanctions were put in place following a July 31, 2022, financial audit “revealed deep financial vulnerabilities, including large deficits that threatened the seminary’s long-term stability,” Dockery said. “Over the past 43 months, since the Board of Trustees initiated changes at the seminary, the administration has worked to address these challenges, making measurable progress each semester.”
