After the desegregation of Mississippi community colleges, many students chose to go to other schools. In addition, student expectations were changing. In November 1999 the Mississippi Industrial College Alumni Association, Inc. (MICAAI) was organized in order to preserve the campus and buildings. The University of Mississippi said "the campus now lies in disrepair." In 2008 Rust College acquired the campus of the former industrial college.
