Trustees want to have a more clear picture of state funding

From The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Pennsylvania State University has put a hold on tens of millions of dollars in new building projects. The university's board of trustees says it acted because the governor's proposed budget would cut $182 million, or 52 percent, of the university's state funding. Trustees agreed to let university administrators choose architects for a number of the projects, but delayed final authorization needed "for any capital projects to proceed until the funding picture becomes more clear."
