This could be good or could really hurt them. LECOM has a presence in Greensburg via Seton Hill. Duquesne is starting a school set to launch very soon. I can speak from experience that RMU lost millions trying to establish one 15 years ago. Upside is that any sort of PASSHE tuition model is going to be much less expensive.

IUP should have asked UPMC to maybe partner or something…but I doubt Pitt would be interested.

One of the things that will most benefit Ship is the new school of engineering, which got in under the wire before all the pandemic and merge-related stress. It'll be a reasonably priced degree compared to the ones at private engineering school, and the school's proximity to engineering-heavy companies such as JLG lifts, Manitowoc cranes, and Volvo/Mack Trucks offer opportunities for internships and outlets for graduates. Combined with a reputable business school, I think it will be a potent combination going forward. Newly hired President Patterson is a dynamic leader who can read the lay of the land. I feel as confident as I can be given the current climate.
Still think the mergers would have been a better example for his article as they are more of an illustration of what can happen as things reach critical mass, but that's open to debate.
For the article, I think the message is more about how universities can adjust for the new set of challenges and used Ship as an example. Focusing on the mergers would be more about schools that aren't set up to adjust to the new challenges. I wonder what his connection is - I've never read much from him about PASSHE.

Well, I think Ship is a better example of the challenges of similar schools without using a drastic example like the mergers. Rural location, evolving mission, diminishing core constituency, strategic pivoting on academic programs. I wish he had mentioned the % of students who are NCAA athletes at Ship to illustrate his point. But the author is a nationally-known writer on higher ed so he at least knows what he's talking about.

Interesting that he chose Ship for the subject of the article instead of one of the mergers, which I think would have better made his point. I have reason to believe the bleeding is slowing at Ship. We'll see. Perhaps when our legislative worthies are done trying to impeach the Philadelphia district attorney they can turn their efforts toward education. Not holding my breath on that one.

This article uses Shippensburg as its example for public regional university struggles going forward, but an important portion about the role of athletics:
At colleges that survive, as most of them will, the biggest effect of the enrollment cliff will be on how students experience higher learning. Administrators will be hustling to give them new reasons to turn down that $22-an-hour warehouse job. Sports will play a growing role. The biggest athletic schools in America, measured by the percentage of undergraduates who participate in a varsity sport, aren’t the Division I behemoths you watch play football on Saturday afternoons. They’re the Division II, Division III, and NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) schools that are most vulnerable to an enrollment shock. If you loved playing field hockey in high school, the chance to play for the national champions is a powerful draw.
