(New Kensington, PA) According to a letter on Tuesday from Penn State University President Neeli Bendapudi, twelve Penn State campuses could be potentially closing because of the pressure of finances and enrollment decline. One of them is Penn State Beaver and the president will be given a recommendation on which schools will close. According to Bendapudi, the other campuses that are up for closing potentially are: DuBois, Fayette, Greater Allegheny, Hazleton, Mont Alto, New Kensington, Schuylkill, Scranton, Shenango, Wilkes-Barre and York. Bendapudi will decide whether these schools will stay open before Penn State’s Spring commencement.
