Reply to comment by Spiritual-Flan-410 in Penn State, PSU, Temple and Lincoln say a tuition hike is needed, even with a 7% increase in state funding by Mrstucco

I think they meant Pitt, since PSU, Pitt, Temple, and Lincoln are the 4 land-grant universities in PA.

Actually, PSU is the only land grant. Together with the other three it is part of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, which was created sometime in the late 1960s. It’s a public-private hybrid system.

No, the state system of colleges in PA was actually formed in the 1980s.

Different system. The PASSHE schools are not the same grouping as the state-relateds.
