More Questions About St. Joseph's College Closing

Independent Colleges of Indiana

There are still a lot of unanswered questions surrounding the announcement that St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer is closing at the end of this academic year for one year, as campus officials attempt to "re-engineer" the Catholic-affiliated college back to fiscal health.

Chris Nolte talked with Lafayette Journal and Courier opinions editor and columnist Dave Bangert about this topic.  The newspaper's devoted staff time as well as print and online space covering the announcement as well as the concerns of faculty, students, students' parents and alumni. 

Dave begins the "Regionally Speaking" conversation with a review of the facts and events of recent weeks.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
