Model 5.9: ANP BOCR - Should the university of Pittsburgh become a private university?

Short Description

The University of Pittsburgh has faced losses of state appropriations in many of the past years and has had to introduce many cost-saving solutions such as freezes in pay increases, decreased budgets, layoffs of some staff, and delays in needed construction projects. Also, the university has had to increase the cost of tuition for students from Pennsylvania to become closer to the out-of-state rate. So far, the state has given no indication that it will not cut Pitt’s budget by 30% again in 2012. The university recognizes this problem and there are talks about how to survive in an era of decreased funding from the state. This alternative in this model involves the University of Pittsburgh privatizing and now longer being state-related.
