Since that time it has been wrapping up core operations including dissolution of a student loan pool, paying of all liabilities and working on collecting and distributing interest in remaining trusts or assigning their interest to the shimer great book school at north central college. All remaining activity is flowing primarily through two cash accounts which will be distributed to the shimer great books school at north central at the time of dissolution. The remaining board members of the former shimer college are involved in the wrapup and liquidation process.”

“Shimer college is currently in an ongoing liquidating process. As of the filing of this return, they have sold all their assets to northern central and currently only have two remaining board members involved in wrapping up the liquidation. The 2019 return is expected to be a final return.”
