GAFFNEY, S.C. (WBTV) – Limestone University announced on Tuesday night they will be closing their doors following a vote made by the Board of Trustees.
School officials said on Tuesday, April 29 that following a vote made by the Board of Trustees meeting that they will be closing at the end of the Spring semester.
Both on-campus and online programs will be discontinued, according to officials.
“Despite exhaustive efforts to secure the funding necessary to continue our operations, we have come to the difficult conclusion that Limestone University has not been able to secure the necessary funding to sustain its operations,” said Randall Richardson, Chair of Limestone’s Board of Trustees. “We want to thank the almost 200 recent supporters in the last two weeks who committed a collective $2.143 million. We had hoped that would be enough to sustain our institution. But in the final analysis, we could not continue operations on-campus or online without a greater amount of funding.”
The school announced that they will hold it’s final commencement ceremony on May, 3 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Fullerton Auditorium.
