My guess is the dental and vet schools are Lyon trying everything it can to stay solvent--it's a tiny liberal arts college (500-600) students with falling enrollment and a small endowment ($67 million after a substantial capital campaign--below $100 million is when you begin going into red flag territory, especially with a falling enrollment), and tuition, fees, room, and board for undergrads wouldn't begin to cover operating expenses, even if everyone paid full price (which basically no one does there). I predict we may see more of this, similar to how every school and their brother started pharmacy schools as cash infusion in the 2010s.

Why on earth is Arkansas’ first and very needed dental school coming from Lyon and private funds?
