| That is crazy! I can’t believe they are leaving people in the lurch like this right after application season. Terrible and really poor form. |

| It sounds like they wanted to see if they could get enrollment high enough to stay alive. |

They KNEW they needed $14-16 million extra over the next 3 years to stay afloat and yet they kept this charade going. Very poor form. During the 6 years we were there the financing, tuition, and financial aid always felt a bit like a Ponzi scheme. Well, now we know. |

They knew about a lot of this debt for over two decades. Many of the same Board members. Maybe now the real story will be told. It’s such a shame for faculty and families. |
