Pennsylvania State University is considering the closure of seven Commonwealth Campuses, which collectively serve about 3,200 students, by the end of the spring 2027 semester. The proposed closures include campuses such as Dubois, Fayette, and York, with accompanying support measures for affected students and faculty. President Neeli Bendapudi highlighted the importance of adapting to Pennsylvania's changing educational needs while showing compassion for those impacted. Despite some pushback from trustees, the majority seem to support the plan, which follows a review of all 12 campuses for potential closure.
"I believe the recommendation balances our need to adapt to the changing needs of Pennsylvania with compassion for those these decisions affect..."
"The campuses proposed for closure enroll just under 3,200 students, with Penn State York having 703 students, the largest among the seven."
