This trend will accelerate. Millsaps, Rhodes, Suwannee, and countless others will begin the steady grind into oblivion.


I can see Millsaps on the chopping block in the not so distant future. I think places like Rhodes and Sewanee may have each carved out enough a niche for themselves to hang on for a while.

Cabrini university in Philly is closing. It is a small Catholic school. It is right down the road from Villanova, so they are just giving them the campus. At least it will be used well and kept up.

Millsaps needs 1200 students paying 50% tariff to survive. Right now they have something like 700 paying 35%.

Someone told me the fall of 2020 they had like 210 freshmen enrolled but only like 150 came back after Christmas.

They will be bought by UMMC and turned into a nursing/PT/OT school. Which would be a win win for everyone.

Agreed, these two offer great academics and a different experience. Mishaps, Bellhaven, etc will struggle to keep the lights on.
