Chancellor Cavanaugh appears on Pennsylvania Newsmakers12/12/2011
​ 
The Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) today, June 30, approved a $436 tuition increase for the 2011-12 academic year. The increase will only partially offset the loss of more than $90 million in state and federal funding PASSHE will receive next year, or approximately $802 per full-time student.
 
PASSHE’s state funding level next year will fall nearly to the level it was in 1997-98 – 14 years ago. The decrease reflects a loss of more than $52 million in state funding and $38 million in federal stimulus funds.
 
“As we said at our budget hearings in both the House and Senate earlier this year, we will not ask our students to bear the entire burden of the budget cuts we are facing,” said PASSHE Chancellor Dr. John C. Cavanaugh. “The tuition increase approved by the Board today will fall significantly short of the funding we need to replace what we lost. Above all, we must keep tuition affordable for our students and their families. Our universities will have to find additional ways to reduce their budgets so that we can do so.”
 
The new annual tuition rate for full-time, resident undergraduate students beginning this fall will be $6,240 – still among the lowest rate of all four-year colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, and well below the national average among all public institutions.
