How Marylhurst University’s Budget Fell Apart - Nigel Jaquiss, Willamette Week

Last week, WW first reported that the 125-year-old institution would shutter at the end of the spring semester. Under President Melody Rose, revenues plummeted 27 percent from 2014 to 2017, the result of declining enrollment, while expenses barely budged. This year, the university moved to increase revenues, publicly announcing a partnership with a Portland coding school called Epicodus. The idea was that Epicodus, an unaccredited vocational school, would piggyback on Marylhurst's accreditation to offer a 27-week course with credits that could then be transferred to another college or university. http://www.wweek.com/news/2018/05/23/how-marylhurst-universitys-budget-fell-apart/
