University of Bridgeport is an independent, non-sectarian
university located on Long Island Sound in the South
Bridgeport section of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA. The
school is the tenth-most racially diverse university in the
country.
The university had financial troubles in the 1990s and was
the subject of controversy when the trustees were obligated
to enter into serious negotiations with and subsequently
gave control of the institution to the Professors World
Peace Academy (PWPA), an affiliate of Sun Myung Moon's
Unification Church in order to save it from closure. Since
then, in an effort to boost enrollment numbers, the
University of Bridgeport has attempted to recruit more
international students and Established in 1927.
The University grew rapidly in the 1960s by capitalizing on
the increased number of people seeking to attend a U.S.
college resulting from the baby boom, Vietnam War veterans
eligible for a higher education under the G.I. Bill, and
international students who wanted to attend college in the
United States. Enrollment peaked at 9100 students in 1969.
Enrollment declined in the 1970s and 1980s after the waves
of baby boom and Vietnam era veterans eligible for the G.I.
Bill declined. By 1990, the University had cut tuition, room
and board fees to $18,000 per year, but the school's
reputation had not improved. More than a third of the 50
campus buildings were empty. To cut costs, the university
decided to terminate 50 tenured faculties, and asked the
other faculty to accept a 30% wage cut. In addition, the
University decided to eliminate its liberal arts college,
alienating many students. This led to the longest faculty
strike in the history of American higher education. Dr.
Greenwood, the president at the time, quit abruptly, and
around 1,000 students left the school, contributing to the
cash crisis.
