As a native of Mt P though I no longer live there, the end of Wesleyan sickens me on so many levels.

What an amazing story. Thanks for sharing! The closest of IWU is a tragedy for the state and for Mount Pleasant. And is the first of others to come.

Wonderful column, Barry. The failure and closing of Iowa Wesleyan University should not be happening. It is too important to the economy and culture of Mount Pleasant and southeast Iowa. Its alumni, supporters and the State of Iowa need to think bigger about IWU and all our other colleges & universities -- private and public.
