William Tyndale College

William Tyndale College

William Tyndale College, often simply Tyndale, was a former nondenominational Christian college located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Named after Protestant scholar William Tyndale, the college was founded as the Detroit Bible Institute in 1945, and became accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1988. William Tyndale College closed on December 31, 2004. Its motto was "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity."

Closure

In 2001, Congressman Joe Knollenberg worked with Tyndale's President James C. McHann to secure almost $1.5 million (USD) in federal funding for the college. In that same year, United States Senator Debbie Stabenow and Sen. Carl Levin also helped the college receive federal funding totaling $461,000. Prior to its closing, Tyndale was held afloat financially by Regent University for a short time, beginning in 2003.

In 2001, former President McHann and former Vice President W. Howard Burkeen and other school officials acquired a branch of Computer Learning Centers, Inc. and renamed it the NorthStar Institute of Technology. In November 2001, the school was raided under charges that NorthStar improperly provided federal aid to their student through Tyndale. At the conclusion of the case in 2005, Burkeen was ordered to repay the U.S. Department of Education over $300,000. McHann was acquitted of all charges.
