College closing

Trinity Lutheran College in Everett, Wash., announced at the beginning of its spring semester that it will cease all academic instruction in May with no intention of resuming classes in the fall. Jim Lindus, executive director of Trinity, said the school’s business model is no longer sustainable with only 166 students currently enrolled. There will be a graduation ceremony in May for 55 seniors, and the school is working to find arrangements for other colleges and universities to receive its undergraduate students. Trinity was founded in 1944 as an arm of the Minneapolis-based Lutheran Bible Institute.
