A 140-year-old college has permanently shut down after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, following an earlier attempt to reorganize under Chapter 11. The closure marks the end of a long-standing institution that had served students for over a century.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another business closing—it's the loss of a historic educational institution that likely shaped generations of students. College closures can disrupt lives, leave faculty and staff jobless, and reduce access to education in the area. It’s also a worrying sign of broader financial struggles in higher education, especially for smaller or less-endowed schools.
