Spanier Requests Additional Funding
02/27/2008 6:46 am
Penn State University President Graham Spanier appeared before the state's House and Senate Appropriations Committees Tuesday in an effort to obtain more state funding for the university.
According to a Daily Collegian report, the budget submitted by Governor Ed Rendell increases the funds Penn State is to receive from the commonwealth by 1.5%. When combined with budget cuts in other areas, the net increase is just 0.78%, which, Penn State officials stated, is not enough to cover the cost of inflation.
State Senator Jake Corman, R-Centre, informed university representatives that there are members of the legislature who will try to increase the university's funding. (More info) |
