School Notes:
- Barat College began as an academy for young women in Chicago in 1858 and moved to its Lake Forestlocation in 1904. In 1918, the State of Illinois chartered Barat as a four-year college, and in 1982, Barat became aco-educational institution. To qualify for federal financial programs, governance of the college passed from the Society ofthe Sacred Heart to an independent Board of Trustees in 1969. In February 2001, because of fiscal concerns, Barat Collegeformed an educational alliance with DePaul University; and while Barat College remained a separate institution, the Baratcampus became a campus in the DePaul University system.
- In February 2004, DePaul University voted to discontinue operating Barat College and began to acceptproposals for the future of the college, culminating in the proposal for a relationship with American College of Education.Through its wholly owned Illinois subsidiary, American College of Education has acquired assets that comprise a substantialportion of the educational business of Barat College, including the library materials and (subject to necessary consents)permits and other authorizations by or of governmental authorities, education agencies, or other third parties.
