School’s out, forever.
An Ohio college announced it will permanently shutter due to financial problems brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report.
Urbana University, which is a branch of Franklin University in Columbus, said it will close its campus at the end of the spring semester, news station WKEF reported.
“Franklin University’s efforts to stabilize the Urbana campus have met with some success in recent years,” the college said in a statement.
“However, the global coronavirus pandemic has added a level of stress and uncertainty to Urbana’s prospects that make it impossible to sustain, compelling Franklin University to discontinue physical operations.”
The school’s faculty will be moved to the Franklin campus while students are eligible to transfer to an online program, the outlet reported.
