Iconic Leftist Hampshire College Permanently Closing at End of the Year
“Despite pursuing a financial sustainability plan and raising more than $55 million through its Change in the Making campaign, efforts in enrollment growth, debt refinancing and land development did not yield a viable path forward.”
The trustees of Hampshire College have voted to close the school after the fall semester of 2026. This marks the end of a process that began a few years ago when the school began to face the possibility of such a decision.
Located in central Massachusetts, Hampshire College is a progressive institution that makes other colleges look conservative by comparison. Following Trump’s election as president in 2016, students forced the school to fly the American flag at half-mast, drawing national attention and anger.
Hampshire is also pricey, with annual tuition of nearly $60,000, but despite the high price tag and increased fundraising efforts, the school has seen enrollment decline and finds itself in an unsustainable position.
@GrindeOptions What I do not get is that pundits do not see that Elon is building factories and products largely with cash flow and some short term debt. The only conclusion That I see is that Elon is hated because he cannot be controlled.
@YossiGoldstein8 There are over 100,000 of these radicals spread over three or four distinct groups. They are well armed and determined. We must send weapons into the free neighborhoods and also arm and support the Kurds and let the freedom lovers get the job done. Fuck Erdogan.
@BohuslavskaKate Trump knew who the aggressor was. But for him Ukraine was simply a speed bump in the highway to a DEAL with Putin so that Russia would look west instead of looking to China.
