Another small college closes

NY Times - Hampshire College, a small liberal arts school in Western Massachusetts, has succumbed to years of financial struggle and will close permanently after the fall semester.... More than 300 U.S. colleges and universities closed from 2008 to 2024, according to an analysis by The Hechinger Report.  “I think the reality is that tuition-dependent schools are being buffeted at many levels around a whole bunch of different headwinds,” Hampshire’s president, Jennifer Chrisler, said in an interview.
