Centre Co., PA (WJAC) — As the stalemate over the state budget continues, also still to be decided is the state funding for the upcoming school year for Penn State, Pitt, and two other universities. Last week, Pennsylvania Lt. Governor Austin Davis, a Pitt graduate, spoke at Penn State. Those two colleges, along with Temple and Lincoln, are known as state-related or non-preferred universities. Their state allocation annually comes through separate legislation that requires two-thirds approval in both the House and Senate, but this year, a group of House Republicans have blocked the non-preferred spending bill.
