After nearly two hours, Penn State's board of trustees voted 25-8 to close the DuBois, Fayette, Mont Alto, New Kensington, Shenango, Wilkes-Barre and York campuses after the spring of the 2026-27 academic year.

Governor Josh Shapiro says he has faith in Penn State following the university's decision to close 7 Commonwealth Campuses.

The 25-8 vote by the Penn State trustees to close 7 branch campuses came after a nearly two-hour public meeting.
