President's Message
From APSCUF President Steve
Hicks to Faculty, Coaches and Friends of
Public Higher Education:
Let me get this off my chest... Gov. Tom
Corbett’s proposal to cut the
Pennsylvania State System of Higher
Education (PASSHE) budget another 20
percent, or $82.5 million, is ridiculous.
In his budget address last year, he
proposed slashing PASSHE’s appropriation
by a devastating 54 percent. Fortunately,
students and faculty across the system
came together to rally against the cut,
and the legislature restored some of the
funding. This year he is doing it again,
just weeks after requesting that PASSHE
give back $20 million of its current
shrunken appropriation.
Another 20 percent cut will do what we
all fear is the agenda of this
Administration: change the very nature of
public higher education in the
Commonwealth....
