Holy Names University in Oakland will close after spring semester in 2023 due to declining enrollment and other struggles, officials with the 154-year-old school said Monday.
Students will have the option to continue studies at Dominican University of California and graduate on schedule, and the school said faculty and staff will have the chance to work at its San Rafael campus.
"First and foremost, ensuring HNU students will be able to continue their academic path forward is our top priority," Borg said. "We are also doing everything in our power to support our faculty and staff during this period of uncertainty." Students will have the option to continue their studies at Dominican and complete their degree requirements on-schedule. Where possible, Dominican will also ensure that members of Holy Names' faculty and staff are considered for similar roles on its San Rafael campus. Holy Names is in discussions with other institutions on sustaining the Kodaly Music Program.
"The financial situation of the university changed dramatically this fall," Borg said. "It was a herculean effort to find a path to the spring semester and allow HNU an orderly end.
