Pittsburgh is no exception, and as consumers of all types come to terms with the re-opening of the region, it’s critical to understand their perceptions, sentiments and outlooks on the future.” This seismic shift has had and will have, for the foreseeable future, a negative impact on the operations of all institutions of higher education in the United States. On the following page is a chart prepared by the consulting firm Deloitte that enumerates some of those operational challenges. This health crisis has created financial conditions that pose significant challenges for all colleges and universities, including Duquesne University. During the spring semester, the University lost $8.6 million when it transitioned all learning online. This summer, since there will not be a study abroad program, the University forecasts losing $1.3 million in revenue. Unfortunately, the financial prospects for this upcoming fiscal year are frightening. Like universities across the country, Duquesne is anticipating significant revenue losses.
