The Boards of Trustees at Pomona College and Claremont Graduate University (CGU) voted today, Oct. 26 to approve a partnership that will enshrine Pomona as CGU’s parent institution.
The approval of the partnership follows an Oct. 6 email from Interim President Michelle Bligh to CGU faculty and staff, in which Bligh outlined how CGU will seek to address a projected $7.8 million operating deficit for the current fiscal year.
CGU first announced it would be seeking a partnership to improve its financial standing in April 2025. Pomona President Gabi Starr announced CGU and Pomona had entered into exclusive negotiations on Dec. 18, 2025.
