Hampshire stays open

A random reader found a past note here on Hamphire College's financial difficulties which led me to discover the good news that it appears Hampshire will remain open for years to come.

The Daily Hampshire Gazette included this note in its recent article on Hampshire's 2021 graduation:

"The tenacity of Hampshire College as an institution was also a key theme for the graduation, as speakers painfully remembered the college’s brief plans to shut down due to budgetary concerns in 2019.

"'Hampshire College is still here because many of you insisted that it must be,' Wingenbach said to graduating students in his speech. 'And because of the passions, effort and commitment of both you and a broader community that loves what this college and this college alone stands for, Hampshire will be here in another 50 years, when you return to celebrate our 100th anniversary.'"
