 On October 20, 2002 the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) conducted a 
hearing before the CCE Appeal Panel regarding the Life University College of 
Chiropractic (LUCC) appeal of the CCE Commission on Accreditation (COA) 
decision not to reaffirm the accreditation of LUCC.  Representatives of LUCC 
and the COA participated in the hearing.
The CCE Appeal panel has announced it's ruling in the matter, and has upheld 
the decision of the COA.  This ruling means that, as of October 20, 2002, LUCC 
has no form of accredited status with CCE.
CCE accreditation is a voluntary in nature.  A chiropractic program can initiate 
the normal processes for CCE accreditation by application at anytime.
