Sam Claster, the professor at Edinboro who spoke, has a unique perspective. He grew up in Lock Haven, went to Edinboro, teaches at Edinboro, and lives in Edinboro.

Originally posted by complaint_hopeful View PostI listened to about an hour. Had to go then. I don't think the 3 anti-consolidation speakers did a great job. The one professor talked about how they waste money at Edinboro...and students don't go to a school because of Admin staff.
Then, the Chancellor came in with his polished presentation. Basically same one he did in Monday or Tuesdays hearing.
The anti-Integration focused on how layoffs are bad for communities. But, once again...layoffs are happening whether the Integration happens or not.
In this call, he indeed said that Edinboro's reserves are depleted. In the last call Clarions. (This call was mainly with people from Erie it seemed.)

I have heard that's happening with recruiting.
Then, when their revenue goes up...they can cross-subsidize the West Triad who has 2 schools with no reserves. I'm sort of joking, but it could play put like that.

I think it hurts. Integration sounds like merger sounds like closing. Nobody wants to attend what sounds like a failing school. Very few targeted students want to pay for an experience that seems to be mostly online when the same price can be paid for a fully in person experience at IUP or Slippery Rock - or as we've shown a little bit more for Pitt Bradford or Robert Morris.

A good reason that focusing on online isn't a stable business plan: Penn State's world campus loses almost 60% of its students after one year and just 18% graduate in 4 years. That's Penn State.

I don't have a vote in that one but Barletta has always been and will always be a racist to me.

I would vote for both of them. Barletta is always in the homecoming parade. I wanted former husky Governor Mark Schweiker to run in the past.

Barletta is a Bloom grad, so there is some allegiance there.

Originally posted by complaint_hopeful View PostIt's going to be interesting to see what happens to the fall enrollment for these institutions. I suspect the uncertainty will have an impact...which could throw this into chaos.

The state system schools will take a fatal blow if any of the Trumpanzee trash planning to run for Gubner winds up getting elected. I think any of their chances are slim as the majority of the residents of the Philly burbs hate all things Fat Nixon.
