Penn State officials expressed disappointment over a Philadelphia Inquirer report revealing seven commonwealth campuses potentially facing closure in 2027: Dubois, Fayette, Mont Alto, New Kensington, Shenango, Wilkes-Barre, and York.

The board will meet in executive session Thursday to discuss President Bendapudi's recommendations before a future public meeting.
