10 N.J. colleges and trade schools receive low marks in federal 'financial responsibility' test
JERSEY CITY — Ten New Jersey colleges and trade schools were flagged in a federal "financial responsibility" test designed to identify higher education institutions with shaky finances, according to new data released by the federal Department of Education.
The schools — which include Saint Peter’s University, New Brunswick Theological Seminary and several career colleges — could face increased federal oversight or be required to post a letter of credit in order for their students to continue receiving federal financial aid, federal officials said.
今回注目するのはshakyです。
「震える」という意味でもおなじみですが、今回は「不確実な、根拠の薄弱な」という意味でつかわれています(『ジーニアス英和辞典』第四版、大修館)。
ネット英英辞典にもnot safe or reliable; liable to fail or falterとありましたshaky | Definition of shaky in English by Oxford Dictionaries。
ニュアンスとしては「あやふやな」ということでしょうか。
このようなテスト方式を日本でも取り入れたら面白いかもしれませんね。（Sugar）
