GOVERNOR SHAPIRO BACKS PENN STATE CLOSURES

Governor Josh Shapiro is backing the decision to close seven Penn State Commonwealth Campuses, including PSU York and Mont Alto.  At an event in Philadelphia last Friday, the Governor said Penn State needed to make tough choices as part of their plan for the long term future, and he has confidence in the university’s leadership.  Shapiro added that his administration is committed to working with Penn State to ensure the affected communities will be taken care of going forward.  The campuses are scheduled to close after the Spring 2027 semester.
