[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in academia. It's alarmist. 91 have closed [i]or merged[/i] since 2016. That's 13/year. Let's say about half merged, so it's 5-6 that close per year. They are schools you've never heard of, like Presentation College in South Dakota, Cazenovia College in New York, and Holy Names University in California (449 students).

Then there's Judson College that closed in 2021.. because the had only 12 students enroll that year (it's a Baptist women's college).

We're seeing 5-10 colleges close per year, and we have over 1,000 R-1 and R-2 universities, and if you add in community colleges you're at about 5,000.

Compared to 20 years ago, we see a lot more international students, especially from China. The demand remains.[/quote]

Where did you get 'over 1,000 R-1 and R-2 universities'

Wiki says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_research_universities_in_the_United_States
There are 146 institutions that are classified as "R1: Doctoral Universities
There are 133 institutions that are classified as "R2: Doctoral Universities
