That's really too bad. It has an amazing history. When it opened in 1866 it allowed women to enroll which at the time was rare. It was the only college named after President Lincoln while he was alive and he knew about it which is pretty wild. There's even a museum filled with President Lincoln artifacts at the school.
Sounds like a combo of Covid and a cyber attack ruined the school sadly. They had record breaking enrollment the year before Covid. Survived The Great Depression only to be ruined by a cyber attack.

They had financial trouble but were rebuilding and brought in grad programs. They are working with 52 colleges to have a place for the students to transition to.

It was always a small school with under a thousand students. Unfortunately I think we're going to see MANY small schools close in the next few years. There are a few in my area that are in serious financial trouble. They were struggling before Covid and Covid just caused their problems to explode.
