Financial outlook bleak for 3 state system schools - Andrew Conte, Trib Live

Financial problems at three state-owned universities could leave their future in doubt without funding increases from Harrisburg, officials are warning. The 14 schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education have struggled to get by on level funding for three consecutive years after an 18 percent budget cut, spokesman Kenn Marshall said on Saturday. He said Chancellor Frank Brogan identified Clarion, Edinboro and Mansfield universities, which have eliminated programs and laid off employees, as being among the schools with the most serious challenges. Marshall said officials are not looking at closing any schools. http://triblive.com/news/education/5644804-74/state-schools-budget
