Pitt's Titusville campus finds itself in crosshairs of state budget battle - BILL SCHACKNER, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Titusville, population 5,600, has neither the bustle of a big city nor even a movie theater, yet for half a century the northwestern Pennsylvania community has had its own branch of a sprawling research university. But were the University of Pittsburgh to lose its state appropriation, it likely would be a death knell for the school's struggling branch 100 miles north of Pittsburgh, even as efforts are underway to save it. That, at least, is how Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher portrays it. http://www.post-gazette.com/news/education/2017/10/13/University-of-Pittsburgh-Pitt-Titusville-budget-Pennsylvania-college-costs-economy/stories/201710130162
