דער קערפער פֿון השםKind of sad about Hampshire closing. I went to UMass.
"#HampshireCollege, the nontraditional #liberalarts #school that pioneered #college-level #Holocaust classes and played a central role in launching the acclaimed #Yiddish #Book Center, announced Tuesday that it is shutter at the end of the calendar year.
The closure, which follows semester after years of financial troubles, won’t affect #YiddishBookCenter, which operates on land purchased from the college in #Amherst, #Massachusetts.
“We are saddened by #Hampshire College’s announcement,” Susan Bronson, president of the Yiddish Book Center, said in a statement. “Hampshire has been a valued neighbor for many years, and we recognize the significance of this moment for its community.”
Founded by Hampshire alum #AaronLansky in 1980 as an effort to save Yiddish-language publications from extinction, the Yiddish Book Center purchased the land for its permanent #campus space from the college in 1997."
