As president of the State College & University Professional Association (SCUPA), I am deeply concerned with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Educationâs (PASSHE) proposal to consolidate six of our 14 state universities.
In April, PASSHEâs governing board moved closer to consolidating the six universities in western and northern Pennsylvania. Bloomsburg, Mansfield and Lock Haven universities would be consolidated into one single northeastern school; California, Clarion, and Edinboro universities would be combined into one western school.
The consolidation plan is now under a required 60-day comment period, and the Board of Governors is set to vote on the 400-page plan next month. But 60 days is not enough time to address the many unanswered questions.
Pennsylvania plans to merge 6 state universities But some fear a slow death for troubled schools
