UNLV professor’s proposal to close 5 Nevada campuses is met with skepticism

The plan proposed by a UNLV professor is simple.

Still, it has vast implications for more than 114,000 students, 7,000 professors and other employees at nine colleges and universities in Nevada.

His suggestion: Close five institutions of higher education and move their students and professors to the other four, where 90 percent of students go.

It would save $50 million over two years, the professor says.

The surviving institutions presumably would be UNR and Truckee Meadows Community College in the north and UNLV and College of Southern Nevada in the south.

Driving the plan is Nevada’s perilous economy and a budget that is underfunded by about a third.
