The University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, Temple, and Lincoln University on Tuesday cleared a major hurdle blocking them from receiving more than $600 million in state.
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s four state-related universities cleared a major hurdlein state funding for in-state tuition discounts Tuesday, as the Pennsylvania House advanced the funding after months of delay.
“We all know someone who either works at or attends one of our state-related universities,” House Speaker Joanna McClinton told reporters. “We’re proud, in a bi-partisan way today, they have gotten a 7% increase for these incredible institutions that are in both rural and urban communities all across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”
“Everyday we get closer to elections, I think people realize that continuing to hold this up based on abortion, politics, social issues is just bad politics,” Bradford added.
