St. Joseph’s College in “dire” financial state
The president of Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer says the financial state at the more than 125-year-old institution is “dire.” In a letter to members of the college community, Robert Pastoor said Saint Joseph’s is in need of $100 million in order to “provide the kind of educational experience that our students deserve.” More urgently, he also said a $20 million influx is required by June 1st. The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet next week to discuss the future of the college.
