Curious to hear Barry's thoughts on this, genuinely so actually:

IMO, keep Abington, Altoona, Erie, Great Valley, Harrisburg, Scranton, and one Pittsburgh-area campus (Beaver, McKeesport, New Kensington, etc.). Close all others.

It'll be interesting to see what plays out over the next few years, and if the state legislature is ready to let Neeli do what needs to be done.

What needs to be done is not just at branch campuses.

Sure - but how many accountants and engineers do we need?
A ton. More than we have, especially engineers. That's why those fields are always always hiring.

This conversation is about student debt and the economic value of one's degree. Avoiding philosophical debate over the innate value of a musical theater degree.
