The Alabama State Board of Education voted on May 11, 2023, to authorize a review of educator preparation programs at Faulkner University. The motion was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote with the meeting record indicating the vote was unanimous.

The authorization was presented as an agenda item; no public speakers addressed the item during the meeting. The transcript records the item as a routine compliance or oversight action and contains no numeric details about the scope or timeline for the review.

The board’s action directs staff to proceed with the review; the meeting transcript does not record specific follow-up steps, staff assignments, or deadlines for reporting results of the review.

Because the transcript did not specify statutory citations or the detailed scope of the review, the article refrains from inferring requirements or outcomes beyond the board’s recorded authorization.
