Sweet Briar College is a women's liberal arts college in Sweet Briar, Virginia, United States, about north of Lynchburg, Virginia. The college is on in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the former estate of the college's founder, Indiana Fletcher Williams. Sweet Briar was established in 1901 as the Sweet Briar Institute〔archive.org, (Copy of Charter of Sweet Briar Institute and the Amendments to Said Charter ), 1927 (Retrieved 3-16-15)〕 and opened its doors in 1906.〔archive.org, (Daisy Williams 1867–1884 ), 1934 (Retrieved 3-16-15)〕 Known as Sweet Briar College, the school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges〔US Dept of Education, (Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs ) (Retrieved 3-20-15)〕 to award the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Education.〔sbc.edu, (College Profile ) (Retrieved 3-16-15)〕 On March 3, 2015, Sweet Briar's board of directors announced that the college would be closing at the end of the summer session, citing "insurmountable financial challenges". In response, a group of concerned alumnae and friends of Sweet Briar College formed a nonprofit organization, Saving Sweet Briar, to reverse the board's decision.〔 *(c-ville.com, Courtney Stuart,("Alumnae fight back over planned closure of Sweet Briar College," ) March 11, 2015 (Retrieved 3-16-15) *(savingsweetbriar.com, FAQ ) (Retrieved 3-16-15) *〕 Saving Sweet Briar, students, parents and alumnae, faculty and staff, and the local Commonwealth Attorney all filed lawsuits to enjoin the closing, one of which reached the Virginia Supreme Court. On June 20, 2015, the Virginia Attorney General announced a mediation agreement to keep Sweet Briar College open.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ag.virginia.gov/files/06_20_15_-_MOU.pdf )〕 After replacing the board and president, the college rescinded the closing announcement. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sweet Briar College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
