Williams steps down as president of Life University

MARIETTA - Life University, the nation&#39;s largest chiropractic school, has announced that Sid Williams has retired as president of the school he founded 28 years ago. <br> <br> Life made the official announcement Monday. A university trustee said last week that Williams had agreed to leave and was working out the details of his departure. <br> <br> Williams founded Life in 1974 and led it to national prominence, but the school is currently struggling through a reaccreditation crisis. <br> <br> The Council on Chiropractic Education revoked Life&#39;s accreditation June 10 and cited the school for a number of problems. <br> <br> The loss of accreditation means future Life graduates would not be able to take licensing exams to become practicing chiropractors. <br> <br> School officials also said Monday that Life has filed a ``letter of intent&#39;&#39; to appeal the council&#39;s decision. They hope that the letter will allow the school to keep its accreditation until the appeal is resolved later in the year.
