More on the impending closure of Notre Dame College

After months of speculation, Notre Dame College will be closing its doors at the end of this semester, ending a more than 100-year presence in South Euclid.
“We are all saddened by the need to make this decision, but rest assured that as we move forward, we are doing everything we can to ensure a smooth transition for our students to continue their education,” said Notre Dame College Interim President John Smetanka in a statement.
In a release, Notre Dame College announced that it has secured agreements with nine partner colleges and universities to help current students in good standing continue their college careers through a "Teach-Out program" or as a transfer student. The nine partner colleges and universities are:
-Baldwin Wallace University
-Cleveland State University
-Hiram College
-John Carroll University
-Kent State University
-Lake Erie College
-Ursuline College
-Walsh University
-Mercyhurst University (Erie, PA)
NDC says current students in good standing with at least 60 completed credits will receive guaranteed admission to pursue their degrees uninterrupted at a partner institution, with comparable net tuition and transfer of all credits. Meanwhile, current NDC students in good standing with less than 60 completed credits "may have the opportunity to transfer to a partner institution and receive the same benefits of the Teach-Out Program."
Notre Dame College plans to host a Partner College/University Fair on Wednesday, March 13 from 12:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m. in Keller Gymnasium. Officials "will work one-on-one with students to help them determine their best path forward."

Tragic indeed. It was a good school, a great campus with prime real estate. I would say that it's another case of financial mismanagement. Debt should not have been needed, schools and companies and individuals should manage income, expenses, balance sheet, and cash flow very carefully. This is Finance 101, like when you teach a high school kid how to budget and balance a checkbook. Tragic for students, staff, and the local businesses. mark MBA
