3 PA State Schools May Merge

[shadokat]

I don't know much about the Clarion/Edinboro/CalU stuff. The Bloomsburg/LHU/Mansfield "merger" isn't a merger. All three schools remain where they are at. Bloomsburg is the big school in this scenario, and will likely take over high level admin type stuff (think HR, Purchasing, etc.). Also, I believe they will eliminate majors at the smaller schools and merge them with similar majors available at Bloomsburg. I'd be shocked if they do anything with the Nursing major at all three schools, because Bloomsburg has one of the best nursing programs in the state. Like they get over 2,000 applicants and can only accept like 120.

I don't think the mergers will go as deep as we're all thinking. I asked our FSL if chapters at one school will become chapters at the others, and she said no. I guess we'll all see how this shit rolls downhill!

I guess, if they start closing majors, it could effect GL. Students in that major would have to transfer. If you have a sorority or two where a lot of girls are in the same major, it could cause some problems.

Maybe they will phase out majors and let the current students graduate?
