OP-ED: Higher ed integration plan lacks key details, but includes plenty of concerns
State Rep. Pam Snyder
50th District
Over the past several months, there’s been a considerable amount of discussion about a proposal put forth by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education to consolidate six of its 14 universities. According to the proposal, three universities in the western part of the state California, Clarion and Edinboro would be consolidated into one campus, and Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Mansfield in another.
California University is very close to my district, and many residents attend and work at the university. In addition, many local businesses and organizations benefit from it being an integral part of our communities.
