Pennsylvania’s state campuses face 50% cut in state support

Chronicle of Higher Education : To help close Pennsylvania’s massive budget deficit, the state’s Republican governor Tom Corbett has proposed cutting the appropriations used to fund the state’s university campuses by 50%. If enacted, the cut would be the largest ever to befall a state university system in the US. The state’s flagship campus in State College would suffer the least, because it gets relatively little of its funding from the state. Other campuses might have to close, writes the Chronicle‘s Jeffrey Selingo.
