Marylhurst University to Close

Marylhurst University (OR) announced Thursday that it will cease operations by the end of 2018. The decision was made by the school's board of trustees after an analysis found that Marylhurst could not counter a trend of declining enrollment, university officials said.  The school, which dates back to 1893, is the oldest Catholic university in Oregon and was the first liberal arts college for women in the Northwest.
