Educate yourself.
Well, I have ("educated myself") on Penn State and its culture/funding...
Apparently, according to this source: Pennsylvania State University... Penn State perhaps is now in the "double digits" % wise of being funded by the state Commonwealth fund:
Per this source: Penn State is a "state-related" university, part of Pennsylvania's Commonwealth System of Higher Education. As such, although it receives funding from the Commonwealth and is connected to the state through its board of trustees, it is otherwise independent and not subject to the state's direct control. For the 20062007 fiscal year, the university received 9.7 percent of its budget from state appropriations, the lowest of the four state-related institutions in Pennsylvania.[35] Initial reports concerning the 20072008 fiscal year indicated that Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell is recommending a 1.6 percent increase in state appropriations.[36] Penn State's appropriation request, submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education in September, requested a 6.8 percent increase in funding ]
So Penn State, given that probably now over 10% of its budget comes from the state, is a "quasi" "state agency." And yet, this "quasi" "state agency" did NOTHING re: Sandusky....
So Penn State simply takes the state's $ -- but is otherwise "independent" eh??? [Kind of sounds like a bit of "taxation without representation" (without accountability)]
Perhaps the Commonwealth of PA would be wise to drop Penn State funding altogether, lest its reputation go down with the college!
