  • PASSHE Institutions Merging

    Hi all -

    Just a heads up that something dealing with merging/integration is going to go down at the BOG meeting this morning.

    The State System will be announcing it at some point today (Thursday, July 16).

    Merging is not the appropriate word; for what is about to happen; partnering is a better word. Boro with ROCK and Clarion with Cal

        But they still would be separate entities for athletics? Slippery Scots? Clarion Golden Vulcans?

          Shared back end operation functions, nothing forward facing merging. So one HR office, one purchasing office, one accounting office, etc.

          Integrations not merger. Direct quote from the chancellor.

            So it's three unique partnerships to explore different types of shared services or future innovation.

            Cal and Clarion are going explore online driven programs.

            Edinboro and Slippery Rock are exploring shared back end functions plus trying a unified admissions plan.

            Mansfield and Lock Haven are going to pursue creating non degree credentials to promote lifelong learning and career pivots without requiring a new degree.

            These are not mergers. They're exploring different models of the larger system redesign.

              It's interesting that they didn't combine the closest geographically.

                Cal and Clarion have the most online offerings in the system.

                The system could go from 14 to 11 schools.

                  Because it's not about combining. It's about collaboration.

                    I watched the chancellor's presentation live. This is about exploring collaboration.

                      They should outsource Harrisburg while they are at it....

                      They should put Clarion, Edinboro, Lock Haven and Mansfield As one group and Mon Valley U. and Slimey Pebble together.

                      Just leave IUP alone...
