The student population declined: in September 2013, the college had 42 students enrolled, of whom 25 returned for the Spring 2014 term. A student-aided internet fundraising effort brought in nearly $300,000 to keep college operations going. In March 2014, the college's landlord sued, claiming that the college had not paid rent or property taxes for four months. The two parties settled on an agreement that the college would vacate the property by May 31, 2014. In his statement on the closing, President King said that the college would not be able to continue without permission from the bishop for priests to offer the traditional Latin Mass on campus.
