Cardinal Stritch University closing permanently

Cardinal Stritch University is closing permanently effective May 22, President Dr. Dan Scholz announced Monday.
Dr. Scholz noted fiscal realities, a downward enrollment trend, the pandemic, and the need for more resources for the shutdown, calling it a "no-win situation."
"I am here to report that the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi has accepted the recommendation of the University Board of Trustees to suspend and cancel all education services, activities, and programs, effective May 22, 2023, and begin the wind-down process of the university operations after the current spring semester," Dr. Scholz shared.

What the Hell!!! I'm a stretch alumni graduate and I'm in complete shock.. how could something like this happen to a Milwaukee institution? Do we have too many colleges in this town? This seems so abrupt and sudden. God bless The faculty, the staff, the clergy ,the sisters, students and alumni... This is a sad day in Milwaukee.

Serves them right ! It was meant to happen 😾 that place was always too expensive for me 💸💸🔥💸💸🔥 and not a very people friendly place. Especially if you’re not a liberal 😾 says the cat 😾

Surprised they remained in operation 75 years. The reasons are always leadership. Bet they never took the endowment matters serious as well.

Go WOKE...GO BROKE!

[@seancourtney9021]

what's Woke got to do with it.? They are/were a Catholic Institution.

[@Echelon730]

They aren't woke, they are a highly conservative catholic college.
It's a tax shelter for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Boo freaking hoo

@@seancourtney9021 They never had a big reputation in the county or region. Enrollment fell from 4,000 to 1300 between 2013 and 2022. They blame it on Covid. I think they never built up the endowment.
