Notre Dame College to Cease Operations at End of Semester

Notre Dame College, facing financial struggles, is set to close at the end of the spring 2024 semester. The college's board made efforts to address long-standing issues, but these were not enough to close the financial gap. In-person academic instruction will begin winding down, and the college has established agreements with nine local colleges to provide opportunities for students to continue their academic careers. Conversations between Notre Dame and Cleveland State University about a potential partnership or absorption have taken place, reflecting a broader trend of potential mergers and acquisitions in the higher education industry.

"Small NY College Closure Sparks Student Outrage and Concern for Special Education Programs"

The College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York, is set to close next year due to a decline in enrollment caused by the pandemic and a decrease in the number of high school graduates. This closure is part of a larger trend, with 10 schools in the state having closed since 2016. Assemblymember Pat Fahy, Higher Education Committee Chair, attributes the challenges faced by small colleges to population loss, demographic changes, and the preference for online learning. Fahy advocates for increased tuition assistance to make higher education more affordable for low and middle-income families. Governor Hochul's administration is working to assist affected students in completing their degrees at other institutions.
