Penn State chief sees threat in health care, pension costs - Associated Press

Rising health-care costs and a looming state pension-funding crisis threaten to add more financial uncertainty to Pennsylvania State University's already tight budget, university president Graham Spanier says. The school on Friday received a portion of $334 million in state subsidies and federal stimulus funding that had been held up for months by legislative gridlock in Harrisburg. But appropriations have been shrinking, and the university isn't sure what will happen when stimulus money dries up.
