Penn State's Board of Trustees is holding a public meeting next week and the topic is campus closures. The public meeting will focus on a proposal to close seven of the university’s Commonwealth Campuses including three in the Pittsburgh region. The announcement of the meeting came after the board of trustees met in executive session Thursday morning after news broke prematurely around which campuses are proposed for closure. Those campuses include DuBois, Fayette, Mont Alto, New Kensington, Shenango, Wilkes-Barre and York. The board will meet at 5 p.m. next Thursday. The meeting will be livestreamed, with the link and agenda information to be posted at trustees.psu.edu.
