Among Goddard alumni are actor William H. Macy, playwright David Mamet, jailed activist and cause celebre Mumia Abu-Jamal, and some members of the rock band Phish. Jane O'Meara Sanders, the wife of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, earned a degree from Goddard in 1980 and served as interim president of the school for a year in the late 1990s.
Vermont's Goddard College, a small school known for its progressive education, is closing after years of declining enrollment and financial struggles, the board of trustees announced.
Goddard currently has 220 students, compared with more than 1,900 in the early 1970s, the board said. Boards and administrations have tried for decades to find ways to keep Goddard sustainable, but it couldn't beat the inflationary pressures, demographic changes and shifts in educational preferences that it and other colleges have faced, the board said. Schools have grappled with a shift toward more career-oriented training and a decline in the number of college-age students.
