鈥疶hen at the end of Arnold鈥檚 junior year at Notre Dame College, he began to hear rumors about its imminent closing.鈥

鈥淚 was shocked,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e just had our 100-year anniversary of鈥 Notre Dame College being an accredited university. How would the school shut down now? I mean, I feel like even if finances are not incredible, how would they be so poor to where the university could not stay open?鈥濃
