Ave Maria College to remain open with three students

From Naples News

Ave Maria College in Michigan to have 3 students next year
AMC founder Tom Monaghan vowed to the students that he would keep the college open until 2007, when the first phase of the new university is completed near Immokalee

So maybe we should start taking bets now on the over/under for students at the AMSOL Ann Arbor campus in 2009?

Hi Mr. Brooks,

I asked this question over at whichave; I'll ask it again to you: Is AMU accredited by anyone? Can they grant degrees?

To everyone: Who knows the backstory here? Was there a lawsuit or threat of one? Did TM actually keep his promise because it was the right thing to do? Does AMU need AMC to be open to buy them some more time to get accredited?

I know TM doesn't keep many promises. I'm just wondering why AMC will continue to exist with three students. Surely TM wishes it were shut down now. I wonder why it is still open. If he can't shut it down, I'd like to know why not. That info might come in handy later.

Thanks, mscience. I thought there might be something in it for TM. Nice to know they're making money off the Nicaraguans. The third world wealthy is a class that has long been underserved. When I think of Central America, my heart immediately goes out to all the poor rich people suffering there.

Cheers for having linked the AMC website before it was removed from universal access by typing it in the address box. By typing in "www.avemaria.edu" you used to come to a page prompting you to chose AMC or AMU's campuses... those of us who fondly sat on/near the steps of Rosa Mystica/John Vianney Hall knew which one to click on. However, now that address takes you directly to the website of the Naples' campus - "Where has AMC gone?"
Hope the three remaining students have more luck keeping track of their identity. At least they no longer have to explain the details of a spacious block-long campus. The three may only need to walk from their rooms (do they have housing?) either downstairs or to the next building.
