Goddard College in Vermont is ending on-campus residency programs and shifting classes to online only, at least for now, the local newspaper Seven Days reported. Declining enrollment and rising operational costs are driving the move, which will be accompanied by an estimated dozen job cuts, the newspaper reported. The shift online is expected to be temporary. “Inflation and increased maintenance costs continue to make it progressively more difficult to maintain a fully operational campus for the fewer and fewer students choosing the in-person residency option,” President Dan Hocoy said in a letter to campus, Seven Days reported.
