Announced Alliance University Closure Elicits Tears, Tales, and Tributes
On June 29, 2023, the Alliance University (AU) Board of Trustees made the difficult decision to cease all academic offerings effective September 1, 2023. The decision was precipitated by nearly 10 years of complex financial realities that ultimately resulted in the June 22, 2023, determination by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, AU’s accrediting body, that the university remained unable to sustain ongoing compliance with the Commission’s Standard 6 (financial health) requirement.
