Pa. students could lose their public university discount as state budget stalemate continues - Marina Gialanella, Daily Pennsylvanian

Even as Penn's total tuition and fees climbs closer to $70,000 a year, a budget stalemate in Harrisburg could make Pennsylvania one of the priciest states for in-state college tuition. Due to conflict among Pennsylvania lawmakers over how to allocate funds for the $32 billion budget, in-state tuition discounts for schools such as Temple University, University of Pittsburgh and Penn State — could be in jeopardy. The price of Pennsylvania colleges and universities is already the nation’s third highest, according to a USA Today report, coming in at over $27,000. http://www.thedp.com/article/2017/10/pa-students-could-lose-their-discount-at-public-universities-as-state-budget-stalemate-continues
