Music is quite possibly the most expensive major of any. The faculty union contract isn't friendly to how these programs are traditionally structured. Clarion and Edinboro cut their programs within the last decade, Edinboro did after the state spent about $10M on a new building.

I think the question here is what is its value, not what is its cost. And a lot of the value of Music and the Arts goes beyond the academic costs. Its value extends well beyond the classroom.

I think the value most would name can be achieved without a degree program. However, PASSHE doesn't seem to understand that you can have departments and faculty without degree programs.
But it's not just this program it's just an example of many such situations that will arise as they strip the schools (including yours) down to something unrecognizable.

Yes. And there will be some schools in PASSHE that do bad, but when the historically strong schools start to lose lots of enrollment too...that could spell PASSHE's demise.

Wolf proposes a 15% funding increase for PASSHE plus an extra $200 million for tuition assistance for students to study "high need" areas at PASSHE or state community colleges.

Correct. Same for California in the West. This is because those schools hold the accreditation for the new triads. However, each "other" campus will continue to have a quasi-council of trustees to function in a similar way but without the autonomy of a typical COT.

So the facade of independence without actually being independent?

Facade might be a bit harsh. There will be some local advisement. The PASSHE charter says each school's COT must be 12 members - so 4 from each school. That's not exactly good governance to have such little representation.
