“We are all saddened by the need to make this decision, but rest assured that as we move forward, we are doing everything we can to ensure a smooth transition for our students to continue their education,” Interim President John Smetanka said in the release
NDC, which was established in South Euclid, Ohio, in 1922, was a women’s college until 2001.
Through an agreement with nine colleges and universities, NDC students will be able to complete their college education through a “teach-out” program or as a transfer student.
“We need to make sure that they’re going to land somewhere, so they can finish their education … and emotionally, to support them too,” Lisa Mobley, a biology laboratory technician at NDC, told local news station WKYC Studios.
“This is a big blow to a lot of the students,” she continued. “They were very happy here and now it’s cut out from underneath them.”
Ursuline College in Cleveland is one of several schools that are taking on NDC students.
