Cleveland State acknowledged last month that the university has discussed “potentially absorbing” Notre Dame College, which framed it as an opportunity for a “partnership.” Cleveland State President Laura Bloomberg pointed to two New Jersey institutions for a potential roadmap for how colleges can merge.
