SSHE Enrollments Down Again

Re: SSHE Enrollments Down Again

And that's where this stuff gets very political. Larger and/or more prestigious schools that already offer those majors pressure their lawmakers to not permit PASSHE institutions to also offer those degrees since it would be lower cost competition to them. Valid argument from them. But it stunts and frustrates any PASSHE school that wishes to grow.

Schools advocate for what is best for them. Nothing outside the norm there. While larger/more prestigious schools are probably more effective at it, I would imagine that each (some?) of the PASSHE schools have people advocating for what is best for them even if that might be a net negative for the other PASSHE schools. I would also speculate that within the PASSHE if an individual school gets a nugget (a new building or the ability to offer new degrees), the other PASSHE schools probably stand up and demand something equivalent for themselves...even if it might not be in the best interest of the PASSHE as a whole.

Not sure if the paywall for this article has hit - pretty strong article about the new PASSHE chancellor.
