The point is there are fewer students now and there will be even fewer students in the foreseeable future. Yet faculty levels remain the same, which is an unnecessary expense.

It costs the same amount of tolls for me to go from the Downingtown Interchange to Fort Washington as it does to go from Downingtown to Lebanon-Lancaster and it's 20 miles longer. The rate per mile is much higher on the far eastern end of the Pike.
Act 44 needed to be redone. Now the Turnpike is deep in debt paying money to PennDOT that should be coming from tolls from 80.
Cletus and April Mae June said their economy would be destroyed if they had tolls along 80.
But they were okay when rural politicians said they should toll the Surekill Expressway to pay for SEPTA's funding.
Wouldn't that ruin our economy?
I may make people mad in saying this and I don't care but Rural PA holds the state back.

I still think the triad creation was the last 'we tried' PR stunt before they ultimately close some doors.
Clarion is a total ghost town these days. It's sad.

They're each 3-link chains. You're only as strong as your weakest link. Mansfield is still struggling and hurting the other two. Lock Haven is alright but not nearly at the same level of alarm as Mansfield.
Kutztown is down quite a bit this year, too. Unfortunately the folks who need to be held accountable for recruiting & advising students are unionized so you can't just jettison them for poor performance. They have to violate policy or be convinced to leave.

IUP's enrollment is up slightly this year. They brought back the cap on per-credit tuition and marketed it as a 20% reduction in tuition. That's all smoke and mirrors but it reads really well to the masses. But they're still down quite a bit from their peak. There's a lot of factors in there that plays into that. They've cut mid and upper level management and recently hired an ass ton of entry level advisors to keep students on the right path academically.
PennWest is the new anchor now that Cheyney has a balanced budget.
Ironically the nicest the campus has ever been ...
