Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board Reports Stable Enrollment and Seeks State Funding to Freeze Tuition

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) board of governors reported stable enrollment for the fall semester across its 10 universities, with nearly 83,000 students. To prepare for future demographic changes, the board plans to request a 5.5% increase in state appropriation next year to freeze tuition for in-state undergraduate students. Efforts will also focus on enrolling working adults, facilitating transfers, and re-engaging students who dropped out.
