BBA Statement on Birmingham-Southern College Closure

The Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA) expresses deep disappointment in today’s decision to close Birmingham-Southern College (BSC).

BBA recognizes the significant loss this closure represents for the City of Birmingham and the broader state of Alabama. BSC has long been a pillar of our educational community, and its absence will undoubtedly impact our region's academic, cultural and economic landscape.

As we navigate this challenging transition, BBA commits to working closely with BSC and City of Birmingham officials to offer our support in any way needed. We will continue to seek avenues to support the students, faculty and staff affected by this unfortunate decision.
