Baptist College in Virginia Won't Close After All

A financially troubled Baptist college in southwestern Virginia has cobbled together enough donations to avert a possible shutdown, the Associated Press reported today. The institution, Virginia Intermont College, said in April that if it didn’t collect $4-million, it might have to close and was considering a merger with an unnamed private institution. But today the 123-year-old college said it would be open for the fall. —Andrew Mytelka
