No Classes, No Accreditation, No Closure?

The King’s College (NY) will not hold classes this fall, but leaders say that decision, along with layoffs announced Monday, does not mean permanent closure. The decision to forgo the fall semester comes amid months of existential struggles for the small Christian college in New York City. In January the college indicated it needed $2.6 million to meet immediate needs and make it through the spring semester. But the evangelical megadonors who have lent generous support in the past failed to come through this time. Severe financial issues, coupled with the loss of accreditation—which the college is appealing—have led to months of speculation about TKC’s future.
