Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell signed legislation on Tuesday, July 6, providing $318.1 million in base appropriation and $15.8 million in federal stimulus funds to Penn State for the 2010-11 budget year, for a total of $333.9 million. This appropriation is equivalent to the amount received by Penn State in 2009-10. "Given the current economic difficulties faced by the Commonwealth, we are pleased that the Legislature and governor were able to continue support for Penn State at level funding," said University President Graham Spanier. "We are grateful for the work they put in to pass the state budget in a timely fashion, which allows us to move forward and set our own budget for the coming year." (more)

The governor's proposed reductions would set the University back to its appropriation level in 1996. Penn State would go from the current year's initial appropriation of $338 million to $278 million in 2009-10. (more)
