Alex Brown, why does the story not reveal the cost Martin student are charged per semester?
Brent, various sources estimate annual tuition is about $13,000 at Martin. Martin’s fee schedule is available here: https://3ca54bc9-01c8-4ba5-9def-92aff93de6e7.filesusr.com/ugd/70e340_49334f1894584bc6bd1a80f9acc33455.pdf
Thanks, Jeff. As a former journalist (both print and radio), I would have included this information in the story. Readers should not have to go hunting for it.
This is a significant loss for all our citizens. You emphasize Martin University’s predominantly Black higher education, but we’re losing a valuable resource for adult learners.
One semester, some years ago, I took a business course at IUPUI and another at Martin University. I found Martin more rewarding. Other adult students contributed a wealth of real-life experiences, and Martin’s emphasis on adult pedagogy enriched the educational experience.
Hoosiers would be better served by nurturing this institution than by withholding funding. We’ll all be sorry when it’s gone!
I agree completely. I think this is a great loss for the city of Indianapolis and the state of indiana.
+1
This is a loss. I had a former athlete attend Martin, and his education & time there allowed him to earn academic eligibility that in turn allowed him to earn a D1 scholarship and better himself. Without Martin U – that’s not happening. For the record – he wasn’t a Black kid. This is too bad.
As always, Nate’s Flock of commenters are hilarious. Enrollment in 2023 was 220. At something calling itself a University. Guessing the enrollment today is well under 200
This isn’t remotely a “loss” for the community or anyone else. Obviously the market has rejected the product. There is a plethora of higher education options in Indy, but this one has a racial component and that is important to the Democrats Nate panders to, so therefore it’s a “loss”
If those are your metrics for closing schools, Chuck, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on all those small charter schools that do a terrible job educating kids per the test scores and only stay open by finding new authorizers.
Most universities started small then grew. Marian, IUPUI (now IUI and PUI), Ball State, Indiana State, Taylor, Indiana Weslyan even Notre Dame started as a small school. The fact that Martin did not have an endowment or any other long term support indicates that they either never planned to exist for a long time or there was poor long term planning and it has fallen victim to pure economics.
