From The Washington Post:
[Gallaudet University] in Northeast Washington, known internationally as a center for deaf education, was put on probation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education this summer after a turbulent year. In October 2006, protesters angry over the choice of a new president shut the campus down for several days by blocking the entrances.
The unrest brought greater scrutiny of academic, enrollment and other problems, and accreditors warned that the school was out of compliance on eight of 14 standards. The school remains accredited, but it awaits a 10-year renewal of that status.
Being on probation made it more difficult to attract and retain students at a school where enrollment had been dropping.
