Birmingham-Southern College announced Tuesday that its operations will cease by the end of May after the school failed to secure a loan from the state.
“This is a tragic day for the College, our students, our employees, and our alumni,” said Rev. Keith D. Thompson, the chair of the board, in a statement. “But it is also a terrible day for Birmingham, for the neighborhoods who have surrounded our campus for more than 100 years, and for Alabama.”
@nursefrombirth 😢 Limiting access to neighborhood universities is so sad.
