Northland College in Wisconsin will cease operations after the 2024-25 academic year due to insurmountable financial difficulties and declining enrollment numbers. Board chair Ted Bristol highlighted that despite efforts to cut costs and increase revenues, the college could not sustain itself financially. Over the past ten years, it has operated at a deficit in most years, and its endowment, although valued at $32 million, was insufficient to bridge the financial gap. The closure signals challenges faced by small liberal arts schools in the current economic climate.
