According to a memo issued by the Dickinson School of Law, if the current dual-campus proposal is accepted, Penn State will give the school $10 million and the Dickinson Board of Governors could be eliminated.

Dickinson's Board of Governors confirmed the existence of a memorandum stating that Dickinson's campus in Carlisle would remain in operation until at least June 30, 2015.

After that date, the future of the school will be up to Penn State's administration and the Board of Trustees.

Additionally, a second law school campus would be opened at Penn State at a time deemed appropriate by the university.

The proposal will be presented at a Board of Governors meeting tomorrow. If the proposal is passed, it will be reviewed by Penn State's Board of Trustees, which will make the final decision, Penn State spokesman Tysen Kendig said.

The agreement also said Penn State would give $10 million for "immediate improvements and enhancements of the Carlisle campus." An additional $25 million would be provided from non-Penn State sources, including the state government.

If the additional funding were not provided in the future, the proposal outlined in the memo would be suspended in favor of the current agreement between Penn State and Dickinson. If the proposal is passed, the Dickinson's current Board of Governors would be dissolved and Penn State President Graham Spanier and Board of Governors Chairman H. Laddie Montague, Jr., would each appoint three members to a new Board of Directors. The chairman of the Board of Governors at the time the agreement was finalized would appoint the seventh member.

The memo also includes a provision to have digital communication equipment in classrooms at both campuses, allowing students to enroll in classes at either campus and provide real-time interaction.

In addition, an advisory board of Dickinson alumni would be created to advise officials from both schools on policy-related decisions.

Anthony Falvello, a Board of Governors member, said he is familiar with the proposed plan but has not yet made a decision about whether it is the right choice.

"I haven't made up my mind about the dual-campus proposal yet," he said. "I'm trying to consider what is best for the students."

Falvello said he would attend tomorrow's meeting to vote on the proposed plan.

Montague declined to comment on the memo until after tomorrow's Board of Governors meeting, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the law school's Trickett Hall.
