Quincy College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Quincy College is a community college located in downtown Quincy, Massachusetts.

Quincy College operates under the auspices of the City of Quincy. The College is unusual in this respect, as it is the only one of Massachusetts' 16 community colleges to be run by a city rather than by the state.

Campus

The main campus of Quincy College is located in the Quincy Center area of Quincy, with a second campus in Plymouth.

History

Quincy's first courses were offered in 1956, after a committee was created to establish a new community college and Dr. Timothy L. Smith, historian and professor at Eastern Nazarene College (ENC) became the first director of "College Courses, Inc." It was sponsored by the Quincy School Department and used faculty from Eastern Nazarene.

Another ENC history professor, Dr. Charles W. Akers, became its first full-time director and transformed it into a junior college in 1958, naming it Quincy Junior College, when it was first given power to grant Associates degrees in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In 1991, the school established a campus in downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts.

From 2003 to 2005, the college was struck by a series of controversial scandals in which then-President Sean Barry and administration officials were accused of financial mismanagement and use of scholarship funds for entertainment and travel expenses, leading to Barry's firing and an FBI investigation. Due to fabrication of documents suggesting that surgical technology students were receiving operating room experience they did not actually have, the program was suspended for two years, regaining its accreditation in 2007.

The college has also had a tumultuous relationship with the city over rent for its downtown buildings. Its main downtown building, Coddington Hall, is owned by the City of Quincy and was taken over in 2007 as temporary classroom space for Quincy High School during the construction of a new high school. This necessitated a move of many of the college's programs to a new location in North Quincy.
