According to source, 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.

Budget cuts proposed by Gov. Brian Sandoval for higher education exceed $162 million.

Budget discussions are in the early stages, but by May — the Legislature must approve a budget by June — campus consolidation may be on the table.

The plan is the brainchild of Bryan Spangelo, a UNLV chemistry professor. A member of the Faculty Senate, he said he studied the Nevada System of Higher Education budget while serving on UNLV’s budget-cutting committee the past two years.
