The state budget approved Wednesday awards $50 million to redesign Pennsylvania universities, including the merger California University with Edinboro and Clarion. Daniel Greenstein, chancellor of the state System of Higher Education, said it’s the first installment of $200 million that will be awarded to the system over four years. The announcement was made at a special meeting of the state system board of governors two weeks before it votes on the Cal U. merger and that of three other schools in Northern Pennsylvania.
