Joint Press Release Issued 3/07/2009
by
Xavier University of Louisiana
&
Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Xavier University of Louisiana (Xavier) and the Accreditation Council
for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) are pleased to announce the resolution of
recent litigation initiated by Xavier in Federal District Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana.
After a recess of the February 25, 2009 court proceedings during which
the parties disagreed as to the interpretation of certain ACPE policies
addressing notice to Xavier prior to an ACPE probation determination,
the parties were able to amicably resolve the lawsuit. In the interest
of fairness, ACPE has agreed to rescind its January 2009 probation
decision, remove the probation notation from the ACPE website, and
notify relevant federal, regional, and state agencies of this action.
The University has dismissed the lawsuit against ACPE.
The Xavier University College of Pharmacy remains and has remained fully
accredited throughout its 82-year history.
To protect the confidentiality and integrity of the accreditation
process, and to be respectful of Xavier and ACPE, the parties have
agreed that no additional information regarding this matter will be
publicly available.
