Anyone hearing this? I've heard it from a couple people now. I know they fended that off last Summer but it sounds like the higher education financial situation is too much to overcome this time.

I am involved with education in Illinois and have not heard any of this. Recently, though, the college president said they were trying to branch out to Indiana for students. I do believe, though, that their enrollment is below 8000. We just got a state budget, so that should help.
 
I think this was a last year concern. I suspect it will be fine for the forseeable future. I think they are going to have to learn to be a 600-700 enrollment.
