The first look at an integrated Lock Haven-Bloomsburg-Mansfield University is here.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education on Monday released a draft report that essentially recommends consolidating the three state-run schools.
And while the report answers some questions, others are left unanswered.
The nearly 440-page draft was put out for public view on the PASSHE website at https://www.passhe.edu/inside/BOG/BOG%20Agendas/04-28-2021%20Agenda.pdf.
Leading up to the draft, LHU and other state-run schools have furloughed faculty and staff so to balance their budgets.

Below are selected excerpts from the “Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education Northeast Proposed Implementation Plan Report Draft April 20, 2021.” A single faculty providing instruction in a single academic program array that leverages program, faculty, and facilities strengths at participating campuses and in which the majority of credentials, majors, minors, and areas of concentration are available to all students at each of the partner campuses through a combination of face-to-face and remote instruction. Significantly expanded opportunities for adult students seeking to re-skill and up-skill through nondegree credentialing courses. Credentialing programs developed in close consultation with regional employers to ensure they have the skilled workforces they need as well as opportunities to re-skill and up-skill current employees.
