It is sad these educational institutes are closed. I wonder why the state did not adopt these colleges? The amount of money required to keep colleges open is fantastic. Before I retired from the University of California I had heard the state university and state college system employed 100,000 people. The University has ten University campus, there are 23 state university colleges and three national laboratories (LBNL, LLNL, LANL) plus other associated campus. When a state prides itself with education the government and people contribute to support higher education. I guess in this state there wasn't any support for a local college......
