Into Oblivion
By Andrew Hanna
0 - Default Title
Description
Drawing on more than a year of intensive research, Andrew Hanna uncovers the hidden decisions, financial missteps, and administrative failures that pushed UARTS toward insolvency. From questionable donations and mounting debt, to missed opportunities for enrollment growth, to leadership strategies that echoed failed models elsewhere, Hanna pieces together a story of mismanagement and neglect.
Far from a dry financial audit, this book offers a vivid narrative of how misaligned priorities and poor communication can unravel even the most historic of institutions. Through careful documentation, it reveals how the warning signs - ignored faculty concerns, unsustainable tuition strategies, and opaque capital campaigns - were visible years before the final announcement.
More than an institutional autopsy, Into Oblivion asks urgent questions about the future of higher education. How do universities balance mission and survival? What role should transparency and accountability play in nonprofit governance? And how can communities safeguard the schools that shape culture and opportunity?
For alumni, educators, policymakers, and anyone concerned with the state of higher education, Into Oblivion offers both a case study and a cautionary tale. It is an essential read for understanding not just how one university collapsed, but what its demise means for the future of creative and academic institutions across the nation.
