A new university name, a bigger budget request, and a strategy to curb badly declining university enrollment were all approved during a marathon, two-day meeting that concluded Thursday for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) board of governors.
The meeting was held at Millersville University, one of 14 universities that make up the State System.
New Name
The board voted in July to consolidate six of its universities, three apiece, into two larger universities as a cost-saving measure. This way there will eventually be two presidents instead of six, and a smaller administrative staff to pay across properties.
