ASHLAND, Wis. (WRN) — A small liberal arts college in northern Wisconsin announces its closing date.
The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development says 112 employees of Northland College will be laid off when the Ashland school permanently closes on May 31st.
Northland’s original February announcement of its impending closure cited financial insufficiency and declining enrollment, with the chair of the college’s board of trustees describing the school’s lack of “…the resources needed to navigate economic and demographic storms.”
Northland College was founded in 1892.
