Biden administration is hostile to private Universities. That does not help.

2. Less young males attending college. 3. Less Chinese students.

Fewer, not less.

Never heard of the University of Saint Katherine before. It’s in San Marcos and opened in 2011. It has a little over 200 students, 49% of them Hispanic, only 24% identifying as white.

Wells College in Aurora NY announced that they are closing in May as well.

Cazenovia College closed last year.

The NY State Police have taken over it athletic center, are using it for a police academy.

Hoping conservative / libertarian wealthy folks buy up these campuses and turn them into new Hillsdales. We need more places that actually educate our kids.

There are 5,999 colleges in America. 100 combined or closed in 8 years is not an epidemic.

we have too many silly colleges and silly degrees...

the next big thing will be abandoning sports all together for many smaller universities...

you can't compete with big money buying players in college...might as well hang it up....of course there must be colleges that exist simply to make the stats look good for the power conferences...

Some of these “Christian” colleges are just as evil as state supported colleges. The “leading” ivy-league colleges are definitely the worst of the worst.

Just think of all the housing and services defunct colleges can provide for Biden’s “newcomers”. /s

Community colleges provide a less expensive and employer acceptable alternative

The product offered for sale is unacceptable

I hope they do something with the Wells campus. A Family member is an alumna.
