Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) placed Fisk on probation in 2010 over concerns for the university's finances and future prospects. http://diverseeducation.com/article/58053/ https://www.jbhe.com/2012/02/hazel-oleary-to-retire-from-presidency-of-fisk-university/ The probation period ended in December 2013. http://diverseeducation.com/article/58053/

By 2011, Fisk saw its enrollment numbers improve. In spite of inprovements by 2011, the school had still operated with a loss in 6 of the previous 9 years.

In 2008, the Fisk had 770 students enrolled and 264 faculty and staff members.

As president, O'Leary tried to help the university recapture its place in competing for top students and financial support, and attract outstanding faculty.
