[LionJim]

Thank you for your service, Barry.

Maybe this isn’t the place for this but I want to get this out of the way. When you joined the BOT, I didn’t think you were going to be able to continue to post on this board. I believed that you wouldn’t be able to find a positive balance between your duties as a Board member and your position as a plain old McAndrew board screwball. I was wrong.

Will they approve another 9 digit budget deficit for the upcoming year?

Will they approve another 9 digit budget deficit for the upcoming year?

Yes. Some trustees will express their appreciation that it isn’t 10-digit, some will express disappointment.

Bob, I hope that you're attending in your unofficial McAndrew Board PSU BOT meetings analyst capacity.

Correct, but not complete.

Also an additional couple thousand per year increase for students in colleges of Business and Engineering (on top of the existing surcharges), and new extra surcharges for students taking over 19 credits.

Thanks, Barry. I also didn't copy and paste these from the article:

World Campus
1% for all Penn State World Campus students (undergraduate and graduate).
Law schools
2% for all law students.
College of Medicine
4% for in-state medical students.
4% for out-of-state medical students in 2023-24.
14% for out-of-state medical students in 2024-25.

Think you’ll save money by loading up on credits and graduating early? Guess again.

14%? Must have been a steal before the tuition hike. So just a correction to level the tuition with the value.

There is a bit of a back story to that one. FWIW

Short and sweet is that there had not previously been an "in state/out of state" differential (or at least not much of one.... I'd have to check notes to be 100% sure), and that big boost was a step towards initiating a differential.

Let‘s create some fast prestige around here. 14% tuition increase!
