Board of Springfield College in Illinois announced that the Springfield property would be offered for sale. As of the end of the 2018 spring semester, courses were no longer offered at the Springfield branch campus.
In 2024 Benedictine University cut 40 employees including both faculty and staff positions. President Foy stated that "This was the reality of the university for many years, operating well beyond what our resources were” according to the student newspaper. While the president is confident that this effort will lead to financial stability and an increase in enrollment many remain weary about the possibility of the university closing after more than a century offering undergraduate degrees.
