  13. At the same time, #universities regarded as #elite & prominent public #schools receive way more applications than they could ever accept.

    “It’s a bifurcated market between the haves & have-nots,” Selingo said. “The question is, how many of the have-nots will follow #Hampshire?”

  14. “There is a migration away from the small #LiberalArts #schools toward the big public or private #research institutions” with more student activities & academic offerings, particularly in #business & #technology, Selingo said.

    As students become harder to enroll, he said, troubled schools compete by discounting #tuition through increased #aid. That reduces overall revenue while costs continue to rise, creating a “doom loop” of financial pressures.

  19. Part of #Hampshire College’s downfall may also relate to “public discussion in this country about the value of a #LiberalArts #education,” Chrisler said.

    “Some of it is a persistent & ill informed, I think, belief at the #federal level that the only value of an education is what you #earn four years after your graduation,” she said.

  24. So, maybe I'm biased, but I personally think that degrees in #LiberalArts and #Humanities are very important in having well-rounded citizens -- who are exposed to art, history, geography, philosophy, etc. And I think that sort of education should be free and start at the high school level (or even before).

  29. Kind of sad about Hampshire closing. I went to UMass.

    "#HampshireCollege, the nontraditional #liberalarts #school that pioneered #college-level #Holocaust classes and played a central role in launching the acclaimed #Yiddish #Book Center, announced Tuesday that it is shutter at the end of the calendar year.

    The closure, which follows semester after years of financial troubles, won’t affect #YiddishBookCenter, which operates on land purchased from the college in #Amherst, #Massachusetts.

    “We are saddened by #Hampshire College’s announcement,” Susan Bronson, president of the Yiddish Book Center, said in a statement. “Hampshire has been a valued neighbor for many years, and we recognize the significance of this moment for its community.”

    Founded by Hampshire alum #AaronLansky in 1980 as an effort to save Yiddish-language publications from extinction, the Yiddish Book Center purchased the land for its permanent #campus space from the college in 1997."
