Penn State University is considering the closure of several Commonwealth campuses due to significant drops in student enrollment and financial pressures, as highlighted by President Neeli Bendapudi. Plans to close some underperforming campuses have been announced, with a review of up to 12 satellite campuses, including potential impacts on Penn State Shenango and Pitt New Kensington. While the university aims to keep its largest Commonwealth campuses operational, difficult choices lie ahead for the institution as it navigates this demographic cliff. Meanwhile, amidst these uncertainties, the Faculty Senate has tabled a vote of no confidence in President Bendapudi, indicating internal challenges at the university during this critical time.
