Penn State ‘wavers’ on building racial justice center in wake of budget deficit - COLLEGE FIX

Penn State University looks like it’s “wavering” on its promise to fund a new Center for Racial Justice, a commitment made in 2020 after protests “for greater racial equity.” According to WPSU, Penn State had a $127 million budget deficit last year, and to balance the books by 2025 it’s implemented a “widespread” three percent budget and plans tuition hikes between five and six percent.... Penn State Assistant Director of University Public Relations Wyatt DuBois said President Bendapudi received the faculty’s letter and that a decision on the center was “still under evaluation.”
