How do I find a list of upper education institutions that have shuttered as a result of the economic downturn?

This is part of a much larger project having to do with analyzing fiscal responsibility in universities that offer MBA programs that has to do with schools not having practiced what they preached.

What I'm trying to find is a list of universities that have shuttered as a result of the economic downturn, specifically universities that has schools of business and offered MBA's - but I'm flexible on the that specific part because if I had a master list of university closures I can do the due diligence on which of them had business schools and offered MBA's.

I'd prefer the list to be global, but I'm flexible on that too. Other than Google, any idea where to start looking?

I don't have a list, but Antioch College comes to mind.

parmanparman: I suppose in today's day and age Wikipedia is a cite-able resource. Thanks for the link!
