This episode is an introduction of our new series “Bridging Campuses: Legal Insights on Education Industry Consolidation,” where we will discuss trends in the consolidation and closures in higher education, and outline common characteristics of at-risk institutions.

In today’s episode, we focus on key factors driving these trends, including declines in demographic and enrollment, and outline the challenges institutions face in making difficult strategic decisions due to competing interests of various constituencies.

Bill Rhodes, a partner and leader of Ballard Spahr’s Education Industry Team, and Laura Giles, a partner in Ballard Spahr’s Mergers and Acquisitions Group, host the discussion.

A transcript of the recording will be available soon.
