Iconic Leftist Hampshire College Permanently Closing at End of the Year
“Despite pursuing a financial sustainability plan and raising more than $55 million through its Change in the Making campaign, efforts in enrollment growth, debt refinancing and land development did not yield a viable path forward.”
The trustees of Hampshire College have voted to close the school after the fall semester of 2026. This marks the end of a process that began a few years ago when the school began to face the possibility of such a decision.
Located in central Massachusetts, Hampshire College is a progressive institution that makes other colleges look conservative by comparison. Following Trump’s election as president in 2016, students forced the school to fly the American flag at half-mast, drawing national attention and anger.
Hampshire is also pricey, with annual tuition of nearly $60,000, but despite the high price tag and increased fundraising efforts, the school has seen enrollment decline and finds itself in an unsustainable position.
