Wolf's budget proposes $30M cut to Penn's vet school - Katie Colaneri, Newsworks

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's belt-tightening budget includes a proposal to cut more than $30 million in state funds to the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine. The vet school, along with Penn State University, is a member of the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System that helps "detect, contain and eradicate livestock and poultry diseases," according to the governor's budget document calling for the "elimination of state subsidies for the private" veterinary college at Penn. The vet school appears poised to push back. http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/local/item/101287-wolfs-budget-proposes-30m-cut-to-penns-vet-school?linktype=related_articlepage
