The actions by CCE had no bearing on the university 's overall accreditation by SACS, its official regional accrediting agency. SACS accredits the university as a whole, while CCE governs eligibility for chiropractic licensure.
The CCE did not disclose the precise grounds for which they based their decision, but indicated noncompliance with instructional requirements and failure to maintain a suitable educational environment among their findings.
Life University challenged the legitimacy of the CCE 's revocation in federal court in January 2003.] In February 2003, after the court reviewed evidence that suggested the CCE 's decision was politically motivated, the University 's accreditation was retroactively restored by a temporary injunction while the case went to trial.[7] In June 2003, both parties reached an agreement whereby the University maintained its accreditation while completing a special accreditation process over the following 19 months.
