Did You Know?

From Amy Walters at Legislative Assembly in Altoona:

Did you know that the PASSHE was required by law to conclude contract negotiations with APSCUF by September 4, 2006?

Did you know that APSCUF was willing to pay to make whole the 2003 promotees and PASSHE turned us down?

Did you know that private colleges in the commonwealth are getting $42 million in PHEAA grants instead of using their own endowments to help students? 38% of all PHEAA money goes to private institutions whereas only 20% goes to state system schools!

Did you know that for every $1 invested by the Commonwealth in PASSHE and the 14 universities, $10.27 is returned to the economy of PA ---for a total of $4.47 billion?
PASSHE is directly or indirectly responsible for 51,000 jobs across the commonwealth.
