"Birmingham-Southern College to Close After Loan Bill Fails, Campus Sale Considered"

Birmingham-Southern College will close on May 31 after failing to secure a loan from the Alabama legislature, despite efforts from lawmakers and school officials. The closure comes after a bill to amend the loan program failed to gain sufficient support in the House of Representatives. The college's leaders are now focused on helping students and employees transition, with plans to assist seniors in completing their degrees and facilitating credit transfers to other institutions. The closure is attributed to a breakdown in communication and a lack of local support, and lawmakers are seeking changes to the original legislation in a final attempt to keep the school open.

Alderson Broaddus Faces Closure as Operations Wind Down

The state Higher Education Policy Commission (HEPC) has voted to revoke Alderson Broaddus University's authorization to confer degrees, effective December 31, 2023, and has directed the financially troubled school to wind down its operations. The school will not be able to admit new or returning students, except for graduating seniors. The decision comes after HEPC officials discovered the school's negative cash flow, significant debt, and difficulty in meeting payroll. The fear was that the school would close mid-semester, leaving students without tuition, financial aid, or academic progress. Davis and Elkins College and West Virginia Wesleyan have already committed to accepting AB students.
