GREENSBORO, N.C. The coronavirus pandemic has challenged colleges big and small across the country. Many students haven’t been on campus in a year, schools have scrambled to move classes online, and revenue from things like conferences dried up overnight.
In a recent newspaper op-ed, Guilford College interim President Jim Hood put it this way: “To borrow and bend the opening sentence of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina: Happy colleges are all alike, unhappy colleges are unhappy in their own ways.”
Along with the challenges of moving students to online classes and dealing with coronavirus cases in students who stayed on campus, this small Quaker school near Greensboro is facing some big financial struggles.
