Of this amount, $18.3 million is requested for the Educational and General line-item, and $4.9 million for its other line-items. An increase of slightly more than $1 million also is being requested in State and Federal Medical Assistance funding provided to the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center through the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. Penn State's 2008-09 budget request reflects the University's need to keep pace with the rising costs associated with carrying out its land-grant, public university mission and the need to continue providing high-quality programs for its students. "The funds will be used to help support the University's basic operating cost increases, with emphases on competitive faculty and staff salary adjustments, escalating health-care costs, deferred maintenance and facilities improvements, and strategic academic program initiatives," said Penn State President Graham B. Spanier. (more)
Although the state Legislature has not yet passed a budget for the 2007-08 fiscal year, Penn State's Board of Trustees has approved the University's operating budget. The $3.4 billion budget is based on the governor's executive budget recommendation, which would amount to a projected $332.9 million appropriation from the state. Should the actual appropriation differ, the University would present a revised budget to the trustees at a later date.
