SUMMARY: The Mississippi College Board of Trustees has approved a name change from Mississippi College to Mississippi Christian University, effective in 2026 coinciding with its bicentennial. This move reinforces the university’s commitment to academic excellence and its Christian vision. Other approved changes include a preliminary academic reorganization that elevates the Department of Christian Studies and a strategic realignment of athletics, notably discontinuing the intercollegiate football program to enhance Division II sports and facility upgrades. These initiatives aim to ensure long-term sustainability and organizational efficiency for the university’s future.

SUMMARY: Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy seeking to restructure amid significant losses and competition from larger carriers. The airline has lost over $2.5 billion since 2020 and faces a billion-dollar debt due in 2025 and 2026. Despite the bankruptcy, Spirit assured normal operations for bookings and employee payments. The company secured a $350 million investment and converted $795 million in debt to equity. Rising costs and lower fares have tarnished Spirit’s profitability, compelling them to alter their business model, including bundled fares, in an attempt to stay competitive in a challenging market.
