Clarion University did its part in raising awareness about the proposed freeze on state spending by Pennsylvania Gov.
On Jan. 4, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett called for a freeze on state spending, citing revenues that fell short of estimates in last year’s budget. Corbett’s proposal requests that over $222 million in state spending be halted immediately, including $21 million from the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE).
Clarion, Pa – The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education’s allocation from the state and federal government fell by almost $90 million from last year’s,

Clarion, Pa. – State grants are likely to decrease for Clarion University students next year.
Grants issued to students by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency have been declining in value for at least four years, according to Clarion’s Financial Aid Director

Clarion, Pa. – As the faculty contract reaches its expiration date in a hostile climate of recession and anti-union politics in other states, Clarion’s chapter of the Association of
Pennsylvania State College and University Faculty gears up for negotiation of an amended contract with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.
The spotlight shines on student media at Clarion University when they produce the nightly news shows, man the microphones at 7 a.m. and meet the midnight deadlines.
It also shines on them when they “go public” in other ways and in front of other audiences.

Clarion, Pa. – John Cavanaugh, chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, held an open forum in the Hart Chapel Auditorium to discuss questions and
concerns of the faculty, staff, students and community, as part of his visit to Clarion University.
What is wrong with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE)? First of all, what is essentially right with PASSHE? Answer? The system was established to make sure that rural Pennsylvanians had access to a college education. In many cases, this means the rural poor, who can not only not afford to travel to larger centers of education, but could not afford the tuition even if they could. In this sense, PASSHE is an entirely good system and an entirely noble one.
The PASSHE alumni and friends China and Vietnam Cruise is scheduled to run until Monday, Nov. 9 at 11 p.m. This trip was offered to all Clarion system faculty, staff, retirees, alumni, students and community.
Two Clarion University students have been selected by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education to participate in a prestigious internship through The Harrisburg Internship Semester.
Danielle McCauley, junior secondary education English and French major, and Shane Bailey, senior business economics major, have been selected to take part in this opportunity.
