Currently there are about 520 undergrads and 423 graduate students enrolled at the private Roman Catholic university.
A 154-year-old university said Monday it plans to close its doors for good next year as it struggles with declining enrollment, rising operational costs and financial trouble brought on during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"HNU had a strong 5-year strategic business plan and secured long-term financing, but the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated and exacerbated existing challenges, and disproportionately impacted the students HNU serves, many from under-resourced communities or who are first-generation college students,” HNU Board Chairperson Steven Borg said in a statement.
