Olivet University seeks to take over close Bethany University campus in Scotts Valley, Calif.

From The San Jose Mercury News: Two months after officials at Bethany University in Scotts Valley, Calif., announced the small private college was closing, another Christian university has stepped up to take over the campus. San Francisco-based Olivet University has requested permission to use Bethany's name and "to adopt and carry forward the mission of Bethany." Escrow is expected to close in November on the campus property. Scotts Valley Mayor Dene Bustichi says the new campus is expected to operate as a branch, with future plans calling for Olivet to move its main campus there from San Francisco.
