Fort Lewis College’s economic influence is a reminder that Durango is lucky to be a college town. That FLC is a major benefit to Durango is hardly news.

Beyond offering higher education, the Fort brings a broad array of cultural events including theater, music and continuing education – plus, of course, a variety of athletic programs. Its students contribute to the community, augment the labor force and enliven events. Its faculty raises the bar in local debates.

But, FLC has pulled the plug on continuing education, which was a great benefit to the community.

Why?
