The Senate of Pennsylvania approved a resolution sponsored by Senator David G. Argall (R-Schuylkill/Berks) that requires an independent study of the future of the State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) to be completed by the end of the year.
Senate Resolution 34 requires the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee (LBFC) to study the future and sustainability of the 14 state-owned universities across the state.
Argall said, “The study will help us understand why enrollment at certain universities is declining, what the urgent needs are and how to best move forward to ensure the students of Pennsylvania can receive a quality and affordable degree.”
The LBFC, a bipartisan research agency, has until December 31, 2017 to report back to the General Assembly on its findings.
