Governor Proposing ANOTHER 30% Cut to Pitt's State Funding

The state funding ONLY supports lower tuition for in-state students. Cutting that funding would hurt in-state students, but there wouldn’t be much effect on classes, resources and opportunities for those attending.

<p>This isn’t true. They’ve mentioned multiple times that a loss of state funding (and therefore turning private) would also probably mean the closure of the 4 branch campuses (Johnstown, Greensburg, Bradford, and Titusville). That’s a HUGE blow for all the students, faculty, and staff that work at and attend these schools.</p>
