Dowling College Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Shuttered liberal-arts school Dowling College sought chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Tuesday in order to sell its Long Island campuses.  Dowling bankruptcy attorney Sean C. Southard said Tuesday that the school, which ceased operating in August after losing its accreditation, will use the breathing room of bankruptcy to sell its real estate and other remaining assets “for the maximum value achievable under the circumstances.”
