MacMurray Closing
This guy is out of a job:
The Board of Trustees of MacMurray College voted unanimously in March to close the 174-year-old institution at the end of the spring semester in May 2020.
Board of Trustees Chair Charles O'Connell '69 said that despite the generosity of alumni giving and after extensive analysis and consideration, the Board determined MacMurray had no viable financial path forward amid declining enrollments, rising competitive costs and a small endowment.
The coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic disruption were recent factors that complicated MacMurray's financial condition, but they are not the principal reasons for the Board's decision to close, according to Mr. O'Connell.
I've never been in any of the buildings, and I think I've only driven past a couple of times. It's a beautiful campus.
Wonder what will become of everything?
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
