NOW YOU KNOW:
Thank you to all the APSCUF members and
students -- hundreds of you -- who took
the time to reach out to Chancellor John
Cavanaugh and Board Chairman Guido
Pichini regarding Governor Corbett’s
request to freeze 5 percent (more than
$20 million) of the State System's
appropriation. At its January meeting,
the Board of Governors did not take
action on the request, taking into
consideration many factors, including the
effect on campuses and the impending
budget address. Your stories made a
difference, but we must continue to
educate policymakers about how our
students, our campuses and our
communities benefit from state investment
in PASSHE.
There will be a call-in
opportunity on Wednesday, Jan.
25, to
support
public education and to ask the
Governor to INVEST in higher
education. We ask you to
take a few minutes out of your day to
make a call to the Governor’s office
(717-787-2500) and to your local
elected officials, whom you can find by
clicking
here. With
your help, we can continue to advocate
for our students to receive a quality
education at an affordable price.
To our students, alumni and friends of
the State System, please stay informed
over the next few weeks as we learn of
the State System’s fate. For our members,
please stay engaged and reach out to your
chapter mobilization committee chairs for
ways to get involved.
