An educational loss

The Wall Street Journal (free for Rutgers students) reported on the closure of Green Mountain College. While losing any school after 185 years is hard, losing a school with a focus on sustainability is especially concerning. Much of the story in the WSJ (an other papers) focuses on the impact on Poultney, NH where jobs and real estate and a sense of identity and community are all severely disrupted. But coming on the heels of the most recent UN report on the environmental crisis, it is curious that there isn't more reporting asking about what this could mean as a larger trend.
