BU trustees object to any proposed school name that doesn't include Bloomsburg University in the new name. The name hasn't been revealed, but names thrown out have included The Triad and Northeast University. In 2020 they stipulated before they would participate in the integration process a guardrail the Bloomsburg University must be retained for any integrated entity. "Introducing an unknown and meaningless name into the equation "dilutes our brand' "
BU's enrollment is nearly tree times that of Lock Haven and four times Mansfield's, Chairwoman Bowes reported. It has more than double the alumni of the other two universities and an endowment four times bigger than that of both, at $60 million. (latest report was over 75 million)
Trustee Zeigler said "The idea of a neutral brand to keep everybody happy is really a fool's errand. You've go take the strongest brand out there, the most powerful brand, and you've got to choose it and do all you can with it."

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.

So the facade of independence without actually being independent?

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.

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.

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.
