Thomas Adams House and the University Administration Building

Like the other Four Houses in previous months, Thomas Adams House, on 23 November 1361, was closed to students and leased to business figures under the same terms. That same day, the Jon Den Administration announced that it would begin charging students higher tuition to help lower the rent for said business figures.

On 02 December, a group of masked assassins killed two Esurchian Scouts and one Campus Watch Officer. Jon Den was quick to blame the Cabotton Scholar Foundation for the act, and called upon the Retunian government to carry out an investigation. The Retunian authorities, however, declined to carry out such an investigation, citing insufficient evidence. Decades after the Esurchian Occupation, it would be revealed that the assassins were two members of the Cabotton Scholar Foundation, who carried out the act despite guidance otherwise from Heather Walker and Foundation leadership. Nevertheless, the assassins would be pardoned at that time and have their names kept anonymous until the year 1517.

Jon Den rolled back said tuition increase on 03 December.

On 02 January 1362, Jon Den sold the University Administration Building to the Moorings Financial Equity Firm (based in Cotts, Great North), who agreed to, in turn, lease the Building to the University Administration. The remainder of the University Campus would remain, on paper, under possession of the University; however, the Cabotton Scholar Foundation determined that this would not last long and began, on 07 January, advising all Cabotton students to transfer to credible Universities elsewhere in order to continue gaining legitimate degrees and credit hours.

As expected, Jon Den, on 17 January, signed a deal with the Moorings Firm to sell them the entirety of the Cabotton University Campus, effective 01 February. As an act of apparent consolation both for this and the Thomas Adams House, Den ended the Mandatory Recruitment Program that same day. Regardless, throngs of students, despite guidance from the Foundation, took to the streets to protest the sale of the University Campus. Yet, the Esurchian Scouts and Campus Watch stood by, taking no action.

The Cabotton Scholar Foundation

The following day, the Cabotton Scholar Foundation established their North Kempton venue formally as the National University Research Foundation, which would, two days later, be ratified by the Remikran Union as a credible institution. On 19 January, the Foundation announced the establishment of the University Trust Fund, which would begin accepting donations in the hopes of helping the Foundation to purchase back the Main Campus and re-establish the University.
