College Closings: the first dominos start to fall

I think you'll see a lot of these for-profit colleges going first. Then you'll see the private non-profit colleges with small endowments go. State colleges will always have some measure of state funding (though they may close branch campuses). The Ivies have endowments so huge, they'll never close, unfortunately.
Pioneer Pacific College and Oregon Culinary Institute closing permanently

Oregon’s public colleges and universities don’t appear in immediate danger of failing, but community colleges and four-universities are cutting jobs and salaries in anticipation of low enrollment this fall.
Pioneer Pacific and the Oregon Culinary Institute did not respond to a phone call or an email seeking comment on the closure plans and information about how the closures will affect students currently enrolled.
The schools said they will permanently lay off 131 faculty and staff. The letters to state workforce officials describe the closure as “permanent,” beginning July 31.

Cornell will be open for live instruction. Very surprised as several of the other “Ivies” have opted for online hypnosis.

Even JBE could have a tough time justifying the raising of taxes while the state continues to fund an institution with a single digit graduation rate in SUNO.
Southern BR and Grambling suck but it can be argued there is some purpose there. POSSIBLY. SUNO? No history, no track record of success, no willingness by the state to hold them to ANY standards.

How many more would you like to see?
Back up to where I said part 2 would be small private schools. One thing I hadn't considered was that some would try to survive through mergers and/or consuming other small schools (i.e. one stays open but eats all the other's students). THIS is already happening as well:
In opposition to the Marlboro College merger
There's also a lot of talk that Bard College is in deeper financial trouble than they're letting on. Deep enough that big donations from alums like Chevy Chase and Donald Fagen couldn't save them. Despite having an outsized cultural influence, Bard's endowment is only around $250 million, and they have a good deal of debt. THAT is the kind of combination that's going to start killing "real" colleges.

Now tell me how much each SEC football program makes and grosses each year. It's more than these little schools make. Just for a sport!

It’s all about the election in November. If our president played it differently he’d still be president in 2021. We are F#^%\

Louisiana will never close any of its public HBCUs. Jindal hinted at closing SUNO and people lost their minds.

I think the point he was making was probably that:
- One if these colleges is the Pacific NW version of ITT Tech.
- The other is a culinary school.
Both are basically vocational schools. While your point about small private schools closing may be valid, these are a far cry from Pepperdine.

Good, for-profit colleges should be illegal. They are predatory and fricking useless.
Also, these are terrible examples. The only schools that will shut down permanently because of this are schools that shouldn’t have been open in the first place.

As a college grad I say this with get regret but college closings May be a great collateral damage event from COVID!
Kids are getting brainwashed in college in a bad way. Totally different when I went in 70s!
And if professors lose tenure, retirement money and ability to destroy young minds ..... well, that’s great
Our conservative neice came out of college a liberal pink haired airhead, literally and took 5.5 years(no, not 4) to get done and she’d loved to have kept going if Mom and dad had kept fully supporting her brainwashing
