Indiana’s only predominantly Black institution, Martin University , announced that it will be pausing operations at the end of December as it faces “financial and student enrollment challenges.”

In a press release issued Dec. 9, the Martin University Board of Trustees announced it's exploring ways to continue serving students.

“Martin University’s primary focus has always been on providing its students with an outstanding education and hiring the most qualified and talented faculty and staff possible,” said Board of Trustees Chairman Joseph Perkins. “A primary need of Martin’s is for more community support. This includes funding for its vast first-generation college students who are fighting courageously to make a better life for their families.”
