During Thursday’s IUP Council of Trustees meeting, IUP president Dr. Michael Driscoll announced that he approved tuition decreases for undergraduate international students.
This will be along the same lines as tuition decreases for in-state and out-of-state students that have been done in the past. Driscoll said that international enrollment has declined over the last few years.
In other business, the council of trustees approved the five year priority capital project spending plan that will be submitted to the State System of Higher Education. The priority order is for the construction of a replacement culinary education building for 2023-24. Other projects that will be a part of the plan in later years include Johnson Hall Renovation and maintenance to other academic buildings.

The council also approved a resolution to name a trumpet studio in honor of Kevin Eisensmith. He is a retired trumpet professor and member of IUP’s faculty from 1998 to 2022. During his tenure, he was an assistant chair of the music department, and directed several ensembles. He has also performed with groups and solo in 16 states and 12 other countries.
