Notre Dame College, a small, 102-year-old liberal arts school in a Cleveland suburb, announced it would shut its doors after a failed effort to tie up with a nearby institution.
The school of about 1,400 students said on Thursday that it would close at the end of the spring semester. It was founded in 1922 by the Sisters of Notre Dame.
