Another poster put this on the realignment board, but I wanted to make some political notes.

Basically Villanova is buying their assets and they are shutting down. Its 112 acres just a couple of miles away from Villanova.

"...She said Cabrini has made arrangements with three other local faith-based colleges — Holy Family University in Philadelphia, Gwynedd Mercy University in Gwynedd Valley, and Eastern University in St. Davids — to help ease transfers so that students can carry over all their credits. Villanova also will be open to transfers, Donohue said. But Villanova’s tuition is nearly twice as much as Cabrini’s...."

And this is what Cabrini is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini_University
"Cabrini University is a private Roman Catholic university in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania. It was founded by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1957, and was named after the first American naturalized citizen saint, Mother Frances Cabrini. It was one of the first universities in the United States to make community service a graduation requirement for all undergraduates; it now has a core curriculum centered on social justice which includes their signature classes, Engagements in the Common Good, also known as ECG. Due to ongoing financial challenges, the university will close at the end of the 2023-2024 academic year with ownership of the university's campus passing to Villanova University...."

Go woke, go broke. The prior article shows how their attendance half dropped by 1/3 in the last few years.

Now Villanova won't have to fight them for recruits anymore.

Penn is full of morons. We need to split. I honestly dont give two shites what happens there anymore than i do nambia or montenegro

No matter how left-wing the faculty and curriculum are, private colleges/universities with multi-billion dollar endowments can probably get by in the next few decades. This includes most obviously the Ivy League institutions and their safety-school backups like Emory, Davidson, Stanford, etc.

But lower-income schools like Cabrini are simply not going to survive. They are not offering anything that is relevant or needed in today’s society, and they don’t have a massive inheritance to play with.
