Why small colleges are closing and the toll on students and communities

“Why small colleges are closing and the toll on students and communities”

Across the nation, scores of small private colleges and universities are either closing or under threat. As each school shutters, students, faculty, and the surrounding community struggle to find a way forward. Paul Solman reports on one such school and the effects of its demise. It's part of our higher education series, Rethinking College, and produced in collaboration with the Hechinger Report.
