More on the situation. Article mentions Cazenovia as another upstate college that closed just last year. That Syracuse is really taking a beating. Albany and Buffalo have also lost private colleges in recent years.

Wells was founded by the guy who founded Wells Fargo Bank.

Yep. That's two Finger Lakes region NY schools that have closed in the last few years.

Wells have had a shrinking enrollment even before beginning of covid so this isn't really a surprise to see them closing after 156 years. They were down to 335 students back in 2021.

Wells were part of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference most recently in Division III. Previously they were part of the United East Conference.
