Surprise ? : Nah!

The Association has completed and reported research results on the survival of US Colleges and Universities back in 2013.  As shown, this institution has 2 Bs in its report card.  Three years later, the DOE followed what the Association has done by announcing financially troubled higher ed institutions, including this institution.  Therefore, we are not surprise to read the report today on college restructuring and reorg.  This news was not surprise us.  However, we were surprised by (1). How slow troubled colleges make urgent changes and (2). How ignorance these colleges are on making strategic decisions based on data-driven research results.  Our research results have pointed out the possible of college closures.  In the past few weeks, we have discussed the wave of college mergers, and reorg in our Blog which we have mentioned, predicted, and shared many years ago.  If state-owned higher education institutions are facing tremendous challenges to be around, what would one expect the survival rate for tuition dependent institutions?  One important lesson which can be learned is that if your college’s rank not in triple As, it means the risk is going under is high.  So, why not take advantage of our free research results for your own good?
