The Penn State Board of Trustees voted 25-8 to proceed with President Neeli Bendapudi’s recommendation to close seven Commonwealth campuses during a public session Thursday evening. DuBois, Fayette, Mont Alto, New Kensington, Shenango, Wilkes-Barre and York were recommended for closure due to steep enrollment declines, aging infrastructure and financial strain. These campuses are set to close at the end of the spring 2027 semester, allowing students starting this fall to complete their associate’s degrees or transition to the University Park campus after their second year. Bendapudi said resources were already being deployed to support students and that affected faculty and staff would be eligible for a priority hiring process. She also said the university plans to begin “immediately” repurposing the campuses through partnerships with local and state leaders.
