IUP President Dr. Michael Driscoll offered an update on the accreditation process for the proposed college of osteopathic medicine during the university’s Council of Trustees meeting on Thursday.
Driscoll said that the school recently hosted a team from the American Osteopathic Association’s Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation for an on-site visit. Driscoll said the visit was part of the process for the proposed college to become a reality.
In other business, the trustees approved a motion to award an honorary doctorate to former IUP and current Indiana University football coach Curt Cignetti. He achieved national acclaim for leading the Hoosiers football team to an undefeated 16-0 season and the CFP National Championship. Prior to that, he was a head coach at IUP from 2011 to 2016.
