Interesting article on the PASSHE deficit. I found this section the most telling. It seems as if they already determined the firm that will do the study and what the recommendations will be…and I thought that PASSHE was a public system and that the sunshine laws require disclosure?

"State System spokesman Kenn Marshall said officials are reviewing proposals from consultants who responded to a call to gather data and analyze issues including the number and location of universities, programs and personnel necessary to meet the mission of providing “high quality education to students at the lowest possible cost to students.”
Citing exemptions in the state’s Right to Know law, Marshall declined to identify the consultants who submitted proposals."
