Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights is being preserved digitally after closing in May due to over $26 million in debt. States like Illinois and the federal government are implementing measures such as tuition recovery funds and merger streamlining to address the growing number of at-risk colleges, while lawsuits have been filed against institutions like the University of the Arts, which closed in 2024.
