NPR & Planet Money offer a relatively short podcast episode posted January 25, 2021, "The College Buyout Boom," highlighting a number of recent mergers or acquisitions. The segment explores some of the key forces driving these changes and features an interview with a senior student at Mount Ida College reflecting on her surprise when she received the news.
You can read more about the closure of Mount Ida that was announced in early 2018 via an earlier College History Garden post, "Mount Ida College Trustees Announce Closure."
If you are interested in recent trends for closures, mergers, and acquisitions access College Closures since 2009 in the index at the right of any College History Garden page. There are separate tabs for non-profit closures, for-profit closures, and one for mergers and acquisitions. Each tab includes basic information for the institutions, i.e., Carnegie Classification, sector, accrediting agency, and the IPEDS unitid.
