Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, the oldest historically black college in the nation, may be forced to close its doors for good. The school was founded in 1837 by Richard Humprehy, a Quaker philanthropist born on a plantation in the West Indies. Despite its rich history and roots, the 180-year-old institution has faced a barrage of financial and academic challenges for decades. Today, its enrollment has dwindled to 755 students, nearly half what it was in 2010. Meanwhile, students that do attend are often buried with debt and struggle to graduate within six years.
