Financially vulnerable institutions continue to surface in the policy spotlight. Self‑Help Ventures conditioned rescue financing at Saint Augustine’s University on removing certain trustees, a move that reshuffles board power amid an accreditation and liquidity crisis. Separately, Wells College signed a deal to sell its Aurora campus to a nonprofit focused on indigenous history, subject to due diligence and regulatory approvals. Those developments underline how boards, trustees and lenders are driving institutional survival decisions — from governance changes to campus asset sales. Campus sales and lender‑mandated board reforms are increasingly tools of last resort as small private and historically underfunded institutions confront persistent enrollment and revenue shortfalls.
