Urbana University, Ohio closes permanently due to financial pressures from lockdown

Urbana, a small liberal arts college (with a full slate of college sports), was struggling until Franklin U kept them afloat for 6 years. But, the lockdown was the final nail in the coffin.

Young Ph.D candidates today are growing up in a very different world.
Academic jobs will again become scarce and the pay will suck.
The world is changing and future jobs are becoming skill based again instead of diploma or credential based. So fewer will attend college. Lower demand will lower tuition and professor pay.
And technology is changing. The internet can teach and pass out diplomas without having to maintain the ivy covered walls. More students can be taught by less professors over the internet than inside the halls of higher learning. And the covid scare has forced the entire planet’s children from pre-K to Doctoral Candidates to use the internet! Acceptance is guaranteed and resistance is futile.
This to me is bittersweet. There is an aspiring academic in the family who has a dimmer financial future, but America is better off because most of academia is leftist hacks.

No debt at all. Got my degree at 54; company paid tuition and books.

The university my daughter attends hasn’t cut tuition during this. This place must have been about to close anyway.

This is affecting way more areas than I dreamed of.
One of my son’s target schools to play ball just dropped their baseball program and men’s lacrosse. Bowling Green just dropped baseball too.

To me it’s not the point that it’s closing — but it’s ridiculous that anywhere will be forced to close due to this shutdown. (Yes I agree less liberal colleges are needed)
