Staffing cuts as a result of merging six state universities, including California University of Pennsylvania, into two are expected to be ârelatively smallâ and mostly involve management positions, the chancellor of the state System of Higher Education said Wednesday.
Chancellor Daniel Greenstein made that clear after the state system held a special meeting to approve the mergers, sending the plan into the public comment phase for 60 days.
âNot everyone will be pleased with everything,â Cindy Shapira, chairwoman of the state system board of governors, said while opening the 8:30 a.m. virtual meeting.
Cal U. is expected to be the main campus when it merges with Edinboro and Clarion under a Western Pennsylvania school that has yet to be named. The other mergers involve Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Mansfield.
