  • Urban Decline and the Withdrawal of New York University from University Heights, the Bronx
    The Gould Memorial Library, one of the original University Heights campus buildings, completed in 1900. Photograph: Themis Chronopoulos (2009). 4 URBAN DECLINE AND THE WITHDRAWAL OF NEW YORK UNIVERSITY FROM UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, THE BRONX Themis Chronopoulos In 1973, New York University sold its Bronx campus located in University Heights and withdrew from the borough, after being there for eighty years. The campus then was occupied by Bronx Community College of the City University of New York. The official explanation about this transaction is that NYU was undergoing a serious financial cri - sis, which threatened the institution in its entirety, and that the sale of the Bronx campus allowed the university to reorganize itself and to chart a course toward fiscal sufficiency. This explanation has been provided by NYU, corroborated by state officials, accepted by the mass media, and sup - ported by scholars of higher education. And yet, this explanation does not provide a full account of the reasons behind the sale. Although NYU experienced a severe fiscal crisis during this period, its University Heights campus became dispensable because of urban decline. The fiscal problems of NYU in the 1960s and early 1970s can mostly be attributed to low enrollments caused by perceptions of the decline of The Bronx. To be sure, there were other factors that contributed to the dismal budgetary perfor - mance of NYU, such as inflation, changes in federal policy, the rejection of students with average academic credentials, and the expansion of pub - lic higher education. However, these factors did not directly cause the sale of the University Heights campus.
