The budget for the new fiscal year has largely drawn praise from state officials and others.
The $45.2-billion document makes significant investments in education, including the State System of Higher Education. A total of $552 million goes into PASSHE’s 14 universities, which include IUP and Clarion.
The budget also provides a one-time, 125-million-dollar infusion from American Rescue Plan Act funds to support a system redesign.
