Tuition will rise 3 percent next year at Pennsylvania’s 14 state-owned universities.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) Board, today, July 8, hiked tuition $99 a semester to $3,410.
Also, the board extended the contracts of 10 university presidents for three more years.
The presidents at California, Cheyney, Kutztown and Shippensburg universities are serving on an interim basis.
The presidents are just about all pulling in over $200,000 per year not including benefits, at least as of February according to LancasterOnline.com.
PASSHE does not govern the four “state-related” schools — Penn State, Pitt, Temple and Lincoln — which are run by the Commonwealth System of Higher Education and have different tuition and pay scales.
