ITHACA, N.Y. — A private boarding school. “Wells 2.0.” An indigenous studies college. These are just a few of the proposals for the Aurora, N.Y., grounds and buildings once home to the now-closed Wells College. Trustees for the private liberal arts college announced the school’s closure last spring citing dwindling finances and enrollment. The college had operated for 156 years prior to the closure.
