In a Bittersweet Acknowledgment, Trocaire College Absorbs Medaille - Editorial

The News Editorial Board writes: It came as a surprise, although maybe it shouldn’t have. Medaille University and Trocaire College announced in August that they had established a cooperative agreement that could – at some point – lead to a merger of the two schools. First, though, they needed to engage in a lengthy process to examine the issues. That lengthy process took about eight months. On Tuesday, the colleges announced their merger, with Medaille subsuming itself into the Trocaire brand. It’s a creative and bold decision, and very likely the right one, benefiting both institutions. But it’s still bittersweet.
