Equilibria -- you missed the part about the students formerly at Marlboro College [about 200] and the tenured faculty who now be teaching at the Marlboro Institute for Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies @ EmersonI'm going park this here, since the Little Building is pictured with the article:
Emerson College exploring merger with Vermont’s Marlboro College - The Boston Globe
As part of the deal, Emerson will get a cash infusion of $30 million from Marlboro College’s endowment and take over Marlboro’s real estate in southern Vermont, including a farm and 17 miles of cross-country trails, assessed at $10 million.www.bostonglobe.com
The plan is for Emerson to jack up its endowment from $162M to $202M and inherit $10M of property in Vermont, in part to increase its bond rating for future (and refinanced past) construction projects.
its sort of like when Harvard absorbed Radcliffe except for the real estate part
