Merger mania hits cash-strapped campuses

Article Abstract:

Higher education in the US is being affected by reduced numbers of student applications and cuts in funding. This may lead to cuts in staffing and more reliance on computer technology as teaching aids. Mergers are seen as one way of combatting the problem, reducing overheads without cutting courses. These amalgamations are not viewed as hostile, and it is estimated that 10-15 colleges annually are merging.
