A legal battle over the future of Westminster Choir College shows no signs of subsiding, even after Rider University’s announcement that a controversial $40 million deal to sell the school to a buyer from China has fallen through.
Rider’s latest plan for Westminster Choir College, announced Monday, calls for its graduate and undergraduate music programs to relocate from their longtime location in Princeton to Rider’s campus in Lawrenceville. Rider’s announcement is vague about the future of Westminster’s 23-acre campus in Princeton but suggests it will “explore the possibility of retaining a footprint” there.
