This Week In College Viability (TWICV) for Feb 10, 2025

The second Trump administration has given Higher Education a lot more than finances to worry about in the past few weeks.  But, have no fear, I will continue to stay focused on the financial health and viability of public and private colleges.

As I have shared regularly, the market always adjusts.  This market adjustment is being driven by government decisions and it will continue to do so as the financial challenges continue to mount.

This week we have:

+TSU still in danger of running out of money to keep the lights on.

+ Utah Is Pushing Its Colleges to Cut Low-Enrolling Programs 

+ Spin. Spin. Spin story about a private Missouri college. I will provide the needed balance.

+ Flag Football for women is the latest profound strategy to save a college.  Sarcasm alert.

+ and, of course more.
