Keystone College has officially merged with the Washington Institute for Education and Research (WIER) after a three-year effort, approved by several educational bodies. Keystone's precarious position in recent years, as it faced potential closure, prompted this strategic move. WIER, a newly established think tank, aims to support post-secondary education institutions. Keystone's president, John F. Pullo Sr., remarked on the challenges faced during the merger process, indicating the importance of this step to secure the college's future and stability.
I am pleased to report that the merger transaction between Keystone and WIER was concluded on Friday, May 30, finally joining the College with its strategic partner after nearly a three-year journey that at times threatened the future of the College.
WIER, founded in 2023, describes its purpose on its website as 'The establishment and operation of post-secondary degree-granting institutions for the instruction of students' and 'Funding and supporting other post-secondary 501(c)(3) degree-granting institutions.'
