Resolves YES when the institution closes, including teachouts, buyouts, mergers/consolidations which lead to the end of new students being admitted to programs administered under the name of the listed institution. Edge cases resolve based on my best judgement and any strangeness will be N/A'd. Any new universities which did not exist when this market was made (May 10th, 2025) must have provably admitted students and administered courses in order to be considered and will be N/A'd otherwise.
Update 2025-05-09 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has indicated, through their response and implied action concerning Woodbury University, that an institution becoming a subsidiary of a larger entity, leading to it ceasing to exist as an independent university, will be treated as a closure for that institution for the purposes of this market. This serves as a specific example of how the market's resolution criteria (such as what constitutes an institution 'closing' or the use of best judgement for edge cases) are applied.
