We, as a coalition of students who have experienced firsthand the lies, manipulation, and abuse of Olivet University, are encouraged by California’s decision to revoke the institution’s accreditation. This outcome validates the concerns we and many others have raised over the years, and it helps ensure that future students will not suffer the same injustices.Today is a step toward healing and accountability. We hope it serves as a turning point, inspiring a more stringent review of institutions that fail to protect the interests of their students. While Olivet University’s ability to take advantage of and misuse students in California is at an end, the David Jang-run international quasi-religious sect is still operating sham higher education operations in other states like Missouri and Florida. We will continue the fight to hold Jang and Olivet responsible for their crimes and abuse.
