Having no connection to the school or inside knowledge, what an odd projection of failure for a school that has infused significant revenue over the last few years with their addition of the DHA program. The recent accreditation has already been addressed, and from what has been explained by Dr. Gutpa (Program Chair), they have supplied and have approval on all necessary documents, with an update reflecting this scheduled for the following review.

Of the options we could have, VUL continues to be a small university with more pains due to its size and limited excess of funds; they continue to plug along, experiencing occasional bruises occasionally.  Acquisition from a local university or another HBCU, and the final option would be for them to go down the path of Patten University.

This forum tends to have such a doom-and-gloom way of looking at the world when the numbers don't back that up.

Tomorrow morning, VUL closing update 

Just because someone doesn't have a connection to a college doesn't mean that they can't read. I've read about the history of VUL and their financial issues have gone on for years. They're an NA school for a reason. Even that they're struggling on keeping. The infusion of revenue clearly hasn't helped as they're still struggling financially. Many colleges are. A number of colleges closed this year and more have already announced plans to close next year.

The level of emotion in this response confirms feelings are way too high for a logical dialog. I'm okay with you being 100% right to close this discussion.

Not emotional at all, but keep telling yourself that.
