Doesn’t it depend on whether these schools are actually at risk? Students that are stuck in a school that closes shop will have their education plans disrupted. So this is something students should consider when they make their decisions. Even before COVID, [there were schools closing](How many colleges and universities have closed since 2016? | Higher Ed Dive).
Now there does seem to be a risk that schools that end up on lists like this could be hurt because students avoid those schools. If those fears are unfounded, wouldn’t the best thing be to have that conversation? It’s not like CC is the only place students are getting their news.
I guess my agenda is to encourage on-topic conversations about college admissions to happen on CC rather than some other place on the internet. I’m happy to consider other ways to phrase the post and title. Unfortunately, many people won’t read much more than that, so it’s a fair criticism to say our framing of the issue is tipping the scales by being too clickbaity.
