00:02 - 1914 MODEL T. WITH THIS WOULD

00:03 - DELIVERY BODY BUILT ON THE

00:05 - BACK.

00:06 - WHY? IT'S ALMOST THAT THEY I

00:09 - DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.

00:10 - DO IT WELCOME TO OUR BUDGET

00:13 - HEARING WITH OUR

00:14 - STATE RELATED UNIVERSITIES.

00:18 - THAT IS PITTSBURGH OR AND STATE

00:20 - TEMPLE AND THE LINCOLN

00:23 - UNIVERSITY.

00:28 - THE HOME. KWAME NKRUMAH.

00:30 - FIRST PRESIDENT OF GHANA.

00:33 - HOMA THURGOOD MARSHALL. FIRST

00:35 - AFRICAN-AMERICAN TO SIT ON

00:35 - SUPREME COURT OF THIS UNITED

00:37 - STATES AND SO MANY MORE.

00:41 - LIKES TO USE. BUT KWAME NKRUMAH

00:42 - VERY SPECIAL. NOT JUST WHAT IS

00:44 - THE FIRST PRESIDENT GHANI IS

00:46 - ALSO A PROUD MEMBER OF PHI BETA

00:49 - SIGMA FRATERNITY INCORPORATED.

00:49 - TO SAY IT JUST SO WAS THE

00:51 - FIRST PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA WHO

00:53 - ALSO WENT TO LINCOLN, PROUD

00:54 - MEMBER PHI BETA SIGMA

00:57 - FRATERNITY CORPORATE.

01:22 - WITH PENN STATE. IT 277 MILLION

01:26 - TEMPLE AT 158 MILLION PITT HAD

01:27 - 155 MILLION. AND THEN LINCOLN

01:32 - AT 23 MILLION FOR A TOTAL OF A

01:33 - GENERAL. 614 MILLION. BUT I

01:34 - THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE

01:37 - THAT ALL OF YOU HAD ASKED FOR

01:39 - ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN YOUR

01:42 - BUDGET REQUESTS. SO I THINK

01:42 - THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE

01:44 - GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLORE TODAY

01:45 - AND CLEAR THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE

01:47 - THE PERFORMANCE FUNDING THAT

01:49 - THE GOVERNOR IS ALLOCATED

01:50 - 30 MILLION. WE ALSO WANT TO

01:53 - TALK ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN

01:54 - THAT THE STATE BOARD OF HIGHER

01:59 - THEN SOME OF THE STUFF

02:00 - FOLLOW-UPS FROM LAST YEAR.

02:02 - CAMPUS CLOSINGS, OBVIOUSLY

02:03 - TUITION RATES AND THINGS LIKE

02:04 - THAT. SO WE HAVE A LOT TO

02:06 - COVER. BUT I THINK IT'S

02:09 - SPENDING PROPOSAL THAT THE

02:43 - WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AS

02:43 - IT IS. THAT MEANS THAT MEMBERS

02:45 - WILL COMMENCE WITH THE

02:47 - QUESTIONS WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS

03:28 - MEMBERS HERE TODAY. WE'RE

03:31 - ALLOWING US TO.

03:35 - THE HEARING TO TALK ABOUT

03:35 - OUR INSTITUTIONS. THE

03:38 - COMMONWEALTH HAS BEEN VERY

03:39 - KIND. MY SITUTION OVER THE

03:40 - COURSE OF MANY YEARS. AND WE

03:43 - ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT

03:44 - SUPPORT BOTH IN OUR STATE

03:45 - APPROPRIATION AND IN OUR

03:47 - CAPITAL BUDGET.

03:51 - THE STATE'S INVESTMENT AND THE

03:52 - UNIVERSITY HAS REALLY HELPED IT

03:53 - TO CONTINUE TO GROW AND TO

03:55 - INVEST.

03:59 - IN THE EDUCATION OF

04:00 - POPULATIONS THAT MAY GO UNDER,

04:03 - SIR, THAT GRAHAM.

04:04 - AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE UNIVERSITY

04:07 - WAS FOUNDED IN 18.542 NEWS

04:07 - BEFORE THE EMANCIPATION OF THE

04:10 - RACE

04:11 - AS THE FIRST DEGREE-GRANTING

04:11 - HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE IN

04:13 - THE NATION. THE BOE MISSION.

04:20 - OF LINK UNIVERSITY WAS EVEN

04:21 - MORE PROFOUND AND THAT OUR

04:22 - FOUNDERS BELIEVED THAT

04:24 - INVESTING IN A LIBERAL ARTS

04:24 - EDUCATION TO MEN OF AFRICAN

04:25 - DESCENT, WHO REALLY HELPED TO

04:28 - CREATE THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP

04:28 - FOR PEOPLE WHO 10 NEWS AT THIS

04:32 - FOUND THE WORK WHERE LEADERS

04:33 - AND MOVING THE RACE INTO THE

04:36 - MIDDLE OF SOCIETY.

04:37 - THE UNIVERSITY HAS GREAT VALUE

04:39 - TO A COMMON WELL AND ESPECIALLY

04:43 - GREAT VALUE TO THE COUNTY IN

04:44 - WHICH WE WE SIT WITH THE

04:45 - LARGEST EMPLOYEE IN THAT

04:49 - REGION. WE GENERATE ABOUT 2

04:52 - 194 MILLION DOLLARS IN ECONOMIC

04:55 - IMPACT. AND IN OUR AREA, WE

04:59 - CREATE 1054 JOBS BASED UPON THE

05:00 - WORK WE DO IN FOR EVERY ONE

05:04 - DOLLAR IT ISLAND UNIVERSITY

05:05 - AND ITS STUDENTS. WE GENERATE

05:08 - $101.76. AN ECONOMIC BENEFIT

05:10 - FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE CAN ALSO

05:12 - STANDS AS ONE OF THE NATION'S

05:15 - TOP INSTITUTIONS FOR SOCIAL

05:17 - MOBILITY. MORE THAN 90% OF OUR

05:18 - STUDENTS. OUR FIRST IN THEIR

05:20 - FAMILIES TO ATTEND COLLEGE.

05:22 - NEARLY 70% OF THEM ARE ELIGIBLE

05:23 - YET. DESPITE THESE CHALLENGES,

05:27 - LINCOLN. RANKS IN THE TOP 50%

05:31 - OF INSTITUTIONS NATIONWIDE

05:34 - MOVING STUDENTS UPWARD

05:36 - ECONOMICALLY AND IN 2017 STUDY

05:37 - IDENTIFIED LINCOLN AS NUMBER

05:40 - ONE IN PENNSYLVANIA, LIFTING

05:40 - INDIVIDUALS FROM LOWEST TO THE

05:44 - HIGHEST ECONOMIC BRACKETS.

05:44 - THESE OUTCOMES WE THINK SIMPLE.

05:50 - A SIMPLE POINT WE'RE STUDENT

05:50 - STARTS. DOES NOT DETERMINE HOW

05:55 - THEY WILL GO. WHAT MATTERS IS

05:56 - EDUCATION IS UP IN THE SUPPORT

05:57 - THEY RECEIVE ALONG THE WAY.

06:00 - WOW. WE REMAIN DEEPLY COMMITTED

06:04 - TO OUR MISSION. WE FACED

06:06 - SIGNIFICANT PRECIOUS THAT ARE

06:07 - AFFECTING OUR ABILITY JUST TO

06:08 - SUSTAIN OPERATIONS AT THE LEVEL

06:12 - OUR STUDENTS DESERVE.

06:14 - PRIMARY IS THAT MANY OF OUR

06:14 - INSTITUTIONS IN LINCOLN

06:17 - INCLUDED

06:19 - ARE EXPERIENCING ENROLLMENT

06:21 - DECLINES AS THE RESULT OF

06:23 - POPULATION DECREASE. BUT ALSO

06:24 - THE LASTING EFFECTS OF THE

06:27 - COVID PANDEMIC.

06:30 - SECONDLY, THERE'S BEEN A LOSS

06:31 - OF CRITICAL EXPERIENCE TO

06:32 - LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR

06:33 - STUDENTS BECAUSE OF SOME OF

06:36 - THE CONFUSION WITH AND TD OF

06:40 - THE EYE AND THE FEDERAL

06:40 - GOVERNMENT. BUT IT'S ALSO

06:43 - CONFOUNDED WITH.

06:45 - ENDORSEMENT OF HBC USE. AND SO

06:46 - MANY OF OUR PARTNERS DON'T KNOW

06:50 - HOW TO

06:51 - INTERPRET IT AND TO THE VERSUS

06:52 - ENDORSEMENT AND HBC USE.

06:55 - AND AS A RESULT, MANY OF THE

06:56 - OPPORTUNITIES THAT OUR STUDENTS

06:57 - HAVE WITH CORPORATIONS TO

07:02 - AGENCIES HAVE ACTUALLY STOPPED

07:02 - BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS DON'T KNOW

07:03 - WHETHER OR NOT SOMETHING WILL

07:06 - VIOLATE LAW. SO IN THIS BUDGET,

07:07 - WE'RE JUST REALLY ASKING FOR

07:09 - AN INCREASE TO HELP US TO MAKE

07:09 - UP SOME OF THAT DIFFERENCE.

07:14 - A BIG PART OF IT IS INCREASING

07:15 - ENERGY COSTS AND OTHER KINDS

07:18 - OF JUST BASIC CAUSES WHO ARE

07:21 - COSTS WERE RUNNING

07:21 - THE INSTITUTION. WE ALSO HAVE

07:24 - TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN

07:24 - SCHOLARSHIPS FOR IS IT A YEAR

07:26 - AS IS AGAIN WITH 90% OF OUR

07:31 - STUDENTS BEING FROM FIRST BEING

07:32 - FIRST IN THEIR FAMILIES TO GO

07:35 - TO COLLEGE AND 70% OF THEM

07:36 - BEING ELIGIBLE, CLOSING THE GAP

07:37 - BETWEEN WHAT THEY CAN GET A

07:38 - FINANCIAL WEIGHT AND WHAT THEIR

07:39 - FAMILIES CAN AFFORD. BECAUSE

07:41 - REALLY, VERY CRUCIAL. WE ALSO

07:43 - FIND OURSELVES HAVING TO MAKE

07:45 - UP SOME OF THE DIFFERENCE IN

07:47 - THE LACK OF PARTNERSHIPS THAT

07:48 - WE HAVE BECAUSE OF THE

07:48 - CONFUSION WITH THE FEDERAL

07:52 - GOVERNMENT. AND SO AS A LIBERAL

07:53 - ARTS INSTITUTION, THOSE

07:54 - CO-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

07:56 - ARE VITAL. THE EDUCATION THAT

07:57 - WE ARE FOR STUDENTS. AND SO WE

07:58 - WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY

07:59 - CONTINUE TO HAVE THE

08:03 - OPPORTUNITY TO 2, 2, USE THE RE

08:06 - IN THE WORKPLACE OR IN

08:06 - UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH BECAUSE

08:08 - WE CAN'T GET THOSE IN GRANTS

08:09 - IN THE WAY THAT WE USED TO.

08:12 - WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO OFFSET

08:15 - THAT. THAT LACK AND FINALLY

08:16 - JUST INVESTING IN FACULTIES

08:18 - THAT.

08:22 - IT INFRASTRUCTURE WITH AI

08:23 - COMING IN. IT'S REALLY PUTTING

08:24 - MORE PRESSURE ON WHAT WE NEED

08:27 - TO HAVE IN TERMS OF OUR.

08:30 - ALL RIGHT. INFORMATION,

08:30 - TECHNOLOGY, INFRASTRUCTURE AND

08:32 - SO MORE DOLLARS TO INVEST IN

08:36 - THAT WHAT WE ARE REALLY ASKING

08:37 - FOR. SO I THANK YOU AGAIN FOR

08:40 - YOUR PAST SUPPORT IN FOR THE

08:43 - OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY WITH

08:44 - YOUR CONTINUED INVESTMENT LEAK

08:45 - UNIVERSITY WILL REMAIN IN PLACE

08:46 - WITH FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS.

08:50 - FROM LOW-INCOME BACKGROUNDS

08:53 - CAN GRADUATE AND MOVE INTO

08:54 - ECONOMIC MOBILITY. UP WITH

08:56 - GLENN ON

08:57 - THE MOBILITY AND LISA

08:58 - ASPIRATIONS AND IN THOSE

09:00 - OUTCOMES.

09:02 - ALWAYS GOOD FOR THE

09:04 - COMMONWEALTH BECAUSE MANY OF

09:05 - OUR STUDENTS STAY HERE AND THE

09:08 - AND CONTINUE TO INVEST AND

09:09 - CONTRIBUTE TO THE ECONOMIC

09:09 - GROWTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. SO

09:12 - THANK YOU.

09:19 - CHAIRMAN HARRIS CHAIRMAN'S TO

09:20 - SEE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.

09:22 - THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY

09:26 - TO DISCUSS THE SIGNIFICANT

09:26 - IMPACT THAT STATE FUNDING HAS

09:31 - ON PENN STATE.

09:31 - OUR STUDENTS, IF FAMILIES AND

09:32 - INDEED CITIZENS ACROSS THE

09:34 - COMMONWEALTH.

09:36 - AS PARTNERS FOR NEARLY 2

09:37 - CENTURIES THE COMMONWEALTH'S

09:39 - INVESTMENT IN PENN STATE.

09:42 - AS YOU SOW LAND GRANT

09:44 - UNIVERSITY, IT IS TRULY FELT

09:46 - STATEWIDE FROM THE MORE THAN

09:47 - 41,000, PENNSYLVANIA, BASED

09:50 - IN UNDERGRADUATES WOULD BENEFIT

09:51 - FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S

09:53 - DISCOUNTED IN-STATE TUITION

09:55 - RATE TO THE SCIENCE BASED

09:58 - PROGRAMS SERVICES. THE

09:59 - KNOWLEDGE OFFERED BY PENN STATE

10:01 - AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND

10:02 - EXTENSION, WHICH IS OFFERED, BY

10:05 - THE WAY, IN ALL 67 COUNTIES

10:07 - AND THE TOP QUALITY CARE

10:07 - PROVIDED BY PENN STATE HEALTH.

10:11 - JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE

10:14 - CELEBRATED FOUNDERS DAY.

10:15 - THAT MARKS THE ANNIVERSARY OF

10:18 - 10 STATES ESTABLISHMENT AS THE

10:19 - FARMERS HIGH SCHOOL OF

10:22 - PENNSYLVANIA IN 18, 55.

10:23 - IT OFFERED US AN OPPORTUNITY

10:25 - TO PAUSE AND REFLECT AND WHERE

10:26 - WE BEGAN AND HOW FAR WE'VE

10:29 - COME.

10:30 - WE'VE RESPONDED TO NEW

10:33 - GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS.

10:34 - NEW AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE, NEW

10:38 - FORMS

10:38 - OF DISSEMINATION, A NEW

10:39 - CHALLENGES FACING THE

10:39 - COMMONWEALTH AND THE WORLD.

10:42 - CHANGE HAS NEVER BEEN SEPARATE

10:45 - FROM OUR MISSION FROM THE VERY

10:46 - BEGINNING. IT HAS BEEN

10:48 - ESSENTIAL TO IT. EVERY SINGLE

10:49 - CHAPTER OF OUR HISTORY. THIS

10:52 - WLEX, THE ADAPTATION FROM

10:53 - MEETING OUR STUDENTS WHERE THEY

10:55 - ARE THE STRENGTHENING ACADEMIC

10:56 - EXCELLENCE AND TO DEEPENING

10:59 - OUR IMPACT. VERY QUICKLY TO

10:59 - GIVE YOU A FEW PROOF POINTS.

11:05 - WE ARE COMMITTED TO DELIVERING

11:08 - THE HIGHEST QUALITY EDUCATIONAL

11:09 - EXPEDIENCE AND THE LOWEST PRICE

11:10 - FOR STUDENTS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS

11:13 - AND MEANS.

11:16 - THIS YEAR, OUR BUDGET REQUEST

11:17 - EXPANDS OUR COMMITMENT TO

11:17 - KEEPING COSTS LOW AS POSSIBLE

11:20 - FOR STUDENTS. IF OUR FULL

11:23 - FUNDING REQUEST IS APPROVED

11:26 - AND STATE COMMITS TO FREEZE

11:27 - TUITION, ALL UNDERGRADUATE

11:29 - STUDENTS AND ALL CAMPUSES.

11:31 - THE 20272028 ACADEMIC YEAR.

11:35 - WE APPRECIATE THE GOVERNOR'S

11:38 - PROPOSED 30 MILLION DOLLAR

11:39 - ALLOCATION FOR THE NEWLY

11:40 - CREATED PERFORMANCE-BASED

11:42 - FUNDING MODEL.

11:44 - THIS MODEL WHICH PASSED WITH

11:47 - STRONG BIPARTISAN SUPPORT LAST

11:49 - YEAR WOULD LINK FUNDING TO THE

11:53 - METRICS THAT MATTER. IT WOULD

11:54 - LINK FUNDING TO STUDENT SUPPORT

11:57 - STUDENT SUCCESS TO ACCESS AND

11:57 - TO WORKFORCE READINESS WITH

12:02 - THE STATE. AND IT STRENGTHENS

12:03 - ACCOUNTABILITY WITH TAXPAYER

12:05 - DOLLARS.

12:09 - AS WITH OTHER PUBLIC

12:09 - UNIVERSITIES, WE NEED TO FACE

12:11 - INFLATION DRIVEN, COST

12:12 - INCREASES, CHANGING

12:14 - DEMOGRAPHICS. COMPETITION AND

12:16 - STATE FUNDING THAT HAS REMAINED

12:18 - ESSENTIALLY UNCHANGED FROM THE

12:21 - EARLY 2. THOUSANDS. IT IS

12:24 - IMPORTANT TO NOTE PENN STATE

12:26 - HAS NOT SEEN AN INCREASE IN

12:27 - GENERAL SUPPORT APPROPRIATION

12:31 - SINCE 2019.

12:31 - IN ALL OF THE DATA THAT I'M

12:33 - GIVING YOU TODAY, COME FROM

12:36 - YOUR OWN PUBLICATIONS. THE

12:37 - JOINT STATE GOVERNMENT

12:39 - COMMISSION. SO EVERY DATA POINT

12:40 - COMES FROM THE DATA THAT YOU

12:45 - PROVIDE. I

12:46 - WOULD NOTE THAT AN ADJUSTED FOR

12:47 - INFLATION, WHAT ARE CALLED

12:48 - NOMINAL DOLLARS. SO JUST

12:51 - DOLLARS.

12:53 - PENN STATE'S GENERAL FUNDING.

12:54 - NOW IS LESS THAN IT WAS IN THE

12:57 - YEAR 2000.

12:59 - SO THINK ABOUT THE INFLATION

13:00 - THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST

13:03 - 26 YEARS.

13:06 - AND STATES ALLOCATION HAD

13:07 - SIMPLY KEPT UP WITH INFLATION.

13:12 - FROM THE YEAR 2000 ON

13:13 - TODAY, AN APPROPRIATION WOULD

13:14 - BE MORE THAN 450 MILLION.

13:18 - SO WE GET ABOUT 200 MILLION

13:19 - LESS IF WE HAD JUST KEPT UP

13:22 - WITH INFLATION.

13:24 - THAT WE HAD IN THE SAME BOAT

13:27 - WITH OTHER STATES WHO NEEDED

13:27 - INSTITUTIONS. THERE IS ANOTHER

13:31 - BIG HURDLE THAT WE FACE THAT I

13:32 - HAVE TRIED IN MY 20 YEARS THAT

13:33 - I'VE TESTIFIED BEFORE YOU TO

13:36 - BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO.

13:41 - WE GET SUBSTANTIALLY LESS PER

13:41 - STUDENT AND PAST SHE HIT OR

13:44 - TEMPLE.

13:46 - THIS IS EXISTENTIAL FOR US.

13:49 - SOMETHING THAT I HOPE YOU LOOK

13:49 - AT THIS AS BEING DECADES IN

13:53 - THE MAKING AND WE NEED THE

13:54 - WHOLE. WE START TO CLOSE THAT

13:57 - GAP. IT'S UNTENABLE.

13:58 - GREATER INVESTMENT IN PENN

14:01 - STATE IS VITAL.

14:02 - NOT JUST THE PENN STATE, BUT

14:05 - THE PENNSYLVANIA.

14:06 - SUPPORTING OUR EFFORTS TO

14:07 - ATTRACT THE RIGHT TO STUDENTS.

14:10 - THE STUDENTS THAT MAY NOT HAVE

14:12 - HAD THE MEANS AND THE SUPPORT

14:13 - HELPING THEM TO SUCCEED HERE.

14:16 - I WANT TO SHARE SOME NUMBERS

14:19 - ABOUT OUR IMPACT. WE HAD AN

14:21 - ECONOMIC DRIVER. INDEPENDENT

14:26 - STUDIES SHOW THAT WE PROVIDE

14:27 - ABOUT 16 BILLION DOLLARS IN

14:27 - ECONOMIC IMPACT TO THE STATE.

14:32 - FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT YOU HAVE

14:34 - GIVEN US IN STATE

14:36 - APPROPRIATIONS. WE RETURN.

14:37 - WE NEED TO BE $5 TO THE STATE.

14:40 - SOMETHING THAT'S EVEN MORE

14:43 - STRIKING.

14:44 - FOR EVERY DOLLAR IN STATE

14:45 - APPROPRIATIONS THAT WE'VE

14:47 - RECEIVED.

14:51 - THE STATE RECEIVES $2 AND $0.27

14:54 - IN TAX PAYMENTS.

14:58 - WE ARE HOME TO MORE THAN

14:58 - 19,000ST GENERATION STUDENTS.

15:02 - WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF PENN

15:03 - STATE, I THINK THEY'RE

15:06 - SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT.

15:06 - IT'S ABOUT 23% OF OUR STUDENT

15:09 - BODY. AND IN THE LATEST PLACE

15:12 - THAT WE'VE ADMITTED, IT'S ABOUT

15:14 - 28% FIRST IN THEIR FAMILIES TO

15:17 - GO TO COLLEGE.

15:20 - AND WE HAVE OVER 12, 20,000

15:23 - PELL GRANT RECIPIENTS.

15:23 - SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT PENN

15:26 - STATE, PLEASE REMEMBER AT SCALE

15:29 - WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

15:33 - WE EDUCATE MORE PENNSYLVANIANS

15:34 - THAN ANY SINGLE INSTITUTION IN

15:37 - THE STATE.

15:41 - AND WE HAVE ABOUT 400,000

15:43 - ALUMNA THAT LIVE AND WORK HERE

15:44 - CONTRIBUTING TO THE WORKFORCE

15:47 - INTO THE ECONOMY.

15:50 - OF THE 1.4, 4 BILLION DOLLARS

15:53 - IN THE RESEARCH THAT WE DO.

15:54 - THAT SOLVES COMPLEX CHALLENGES

15:56 - AND DRIVING. INNOVATIONS.

15:59 - I'M PROUD TO SAY. WE ARE SECOND

16:01 - TO NO INSTITUTION IN THE

16:02 - COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT

16:03 - WE DO FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.

16:08 - OUR AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH, PENN

16:11 - STATE EXTENSION PROGRAMS.

16:12 - WE PROVIDE REAL-WORLD

16:13 - SOLUTIONS, ACCESS TO RESEARCH

16:17 - BASED EDUCATION

16:17 - AND TRAINING WITH A PRESENCE IN

16:20 - ALL. 67 COUNTIES.

16:22 - REPRESENTATIVES, I WANT YOU TO

16:25 - KNOW THAT IS NOT TYPICAL.

16:27 - EVEN ON EVERY LAND GRANT

16:27 - UNIVERSITY. WE ARE IN EVERY

16:31 - SINGLE COUNTY.

16:32 - OUR EXPERTISE MOST RECENTLY

16:33 - IN THE AVIAN INFLUENZA THEM

16:35 - THE WORST OUTBREAK SINCE THE

16:39 - 1980'S. WE ARE THERE. THE

16:40 - SUPPORT, THE FARMERS WHO ARE

16:42 - IMPACTED. INVENT PENN STATE.

16:45 - ANOTHER JAM, 3 COMMUNITIES.

16:48 - THE SOURCE, 24 LOCATIONS,

16:51 - STATEWIDE.

16:52 - THIS IS NOT FOR ANYBODY WHO

16:53 - HAS STEPPED UP AND STATE

16:54 - AFFILIATION. IT'S OPEN TO ANY

16:55 - PENNSYLVANIA. WE HAVE CREATED

17:00 - WE'VE SUPPORTED ABOUT CLOSE TO

17:03 - 10,000 ENTREPRENEURS, HOW TO

17:05 - START OVER 641 NEW COMPANIES.

17:06 - WE'VE CREATED OVER 861. NEW

17:12 - JOBS. TO SUMMARIZE.

17:20 - INEQUITIES. WE DRIVE JOB

17:21 - CREATION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,

17:24 - STUDENT, CAREER SUCCESS.

21:54 - THE COMMONWEALTH INVESTMENT

21:58 - IN PIT ENABLES THE IN-STATE

21:59 - STUDENT DISCOUNT WHICH MAKES

22:11 - NEARLY $21,000 PER YEAR

22:12 - COMPARED TO THEIR OUT OF STATE

22:12 - COUNTERPARTS AS A RESULT OF

22:42 - WITH YOU HERE IN THE

22:43 - COMMUNITIES THAT YOU REPRESENT.

22:45 - WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HOW THIS IS

22:48 - INFORMING OUR STRATEGIES.

22:49 - MOST OBVIOUSLY THROUGH OUR

22:50 - STRATEGIC PLAN, THE PLAN FOR

22:53 - PITT 2028, MANY OF YOU GAVE

22:54 - INPUT AND FEEDBACK ON THE

22:56 - DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PLAN.

22:57 - I HOPE YOU SEE YOURSELVES IN

22:59 - THE WAY IN WHICH WE'RE SETTING

23:00 - OUR PRIORITIES AND DELIVERING A

23:02 - VERY POSITIVE IMPACT FOR OUR

23:03 - STUDENTS AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

23:07 - WE'RE ALSO VERY PROUD TO WORK

23:07 - TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT PITT

23:10 - IS A GREAT INVESTMENT MEMBERS

23:11 - OF THE COMMITTEE PIT STUDENTS

23:13 - ARE GRADUATING AT RECORD RATES

23:14 - WERE WITHIN THE TOP 5%

23:15 - NATIONWIDE FOR GRADUATION.

23:18 - AND LAST YEAR WITH 96%

23:18 - PLACEMENT FOR GRADUATES INTO

23:21 - EITHER A JOB OR GRADUATE

23:22 - SCHOOL, WHICH IS 10 PERCENTAGE

23:25 - POINTS HIGHER AND THE NATIONAL

23:27 - AVERAGE, NEARLY HALF OF OUR

23:28 - UNDERGRADUATES GRADUATE

23:31 - ENTIRELY DEBT FREE AND LAST

23:32 - YEAR. WELL, ACTUALLY, A YEAR

23:33 - AND A HALF AGO WE LAUNCHED

23:33 - SOMETHING CALLED THE FINISH

23:36 - LINE GRANTS WHICH ARE UNIQUE TO

23:37 - THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

23:40 - AND FOCUS FINANCIALLY TO

23:40 - STUDENTS IN THEIR LAST 2

23:43 - SEMESTERS, WHICH IS A VERY

23:44 - HIGH-RISK PERIOD FOR STUDENTS

23:45 - WHO HAVE THE HIGHEST NEED TO

23:45 - MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET OVER

23:46 - THE FINISH LINE AND GRADUATE.

23:52 - AS A RESULT. PICK GRADS ADD

23:53 - 5.4 BILLION TO PITT'S OVERALL

23:54 - 12 BILLION DOLLAR ECONOMIC

23:57 - IMPACT ON THE COMMONWEALTH.

23:59 - THEY'RE ALSO BUILDING NEW,

24:00 - RURAL AND URBAN TOWN PIPELINES

24:02 - THROUGH HIGH SKILL, HIGH WAGE

24:03 - TALENT, THE JOBS THEY'RE ABLE

24:04 - TO ENTER THE COMPANIES THAT ARE

24:08 - BEING FORMED AND A HOST OF

24:09 - COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, NOT

24:10 - THE LEAST OF WHICH IS A FUN ONE

24:10 - WITH SARAH'S CHOCOLATES, WHICH

24:13 - IS IN CAN ITS BERG. AND YOU

24:14 - HAVE A LITTLE EXAMPLE OF THAT

24:17 - FIT YOUR DESK. SO WE WORKED

24:19 - TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT

24:20 - PIPELINE STAYS STRONG. MAKE

24:21 - SURE WE'RE ABLE TO TARGET

24:23 - UNMET, NEED TO SERVE OUR

24:24 - COMMUNITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS

24:26 - YEAR WE LAUNCHED A BACHELOR'S

24:27 - DEGREE IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE ON

24:28 - OUR BRADFORD CAMPUS. THAT

24:30 - RESPONSE TO A VERY CRITICAL GAP

24:32 - IN FRONTLINE MEDICAL CARE IN

24:33 - OUR STUDENTS ARE OUT AND THE

24:35 - KING COUNTY DELIVERING THAT

24:39 - CARE. WE ALSO HAVE A GIRL

24:39 - OUTREACH WITH OUR SCHOOL OF

24:41 - DENTAL MEDICINE, WHICH INVOLVES

24:44 - TRAINING AND REGIONAL TRAINING

24:46 - CENTERS FOR DENTISTS. BUT ALSO

24:48 - HI, JANICE AND DENTAL

24:49 - ASSISTANTS, WHICH IMPROVES THE

24:49 - ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE AND

24:51 - COMMUNITIES THAT NEED IT.

24:53 - THE MOST. WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST

24:57 - 100% ONLINE DEGREE IN HEALTH.

24:57 - INFORMATICS THROUGH OUR PIT

24:58 - EDGE PORTFOLIO WHICH I'VE

25:00 - TESTIFIED ABOUT 2, 4, WHICH IS

25:02 - A NEW INITIATIVE TO MAKE SURE

25:05 - THAT THE HIGHEST WORKFORCE

25:06 - NEEDS ARE BEING MET. WHERE EVER

25:07 - THE STUDENTS MAY WANT TO ACCESS

25:10 - THE EDUCATION NECESSARY TO WORK

25:12 - IN THOSE HIGH-DEMAND AREAS.

25:14 - SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HOW OUR

25:16 - SHARED WORK IN PARTNERSHIP

25:17 - SERVES PITTSBURGH, BRADFORD,

25:19 - GREENSBURG, JOHNSTOWN,

25:19 - TITUSVILLE, AND OBVIOUSLY THE

25:23 - ENTIRE COMMONWEALTH AT LEVELS

25:24 - OF EXCELLENCE THAT YOU WOULD

25:26 - EXPECT AT NATIONAL AND

25:27 - INTERNATIONAL LEVELS. AND WE

25:27 - ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE A

25:28 - LOT OF DECISIONS THAT YOU HAVE

25:31 - TO MAKE ENDS. WE KNOW THAT YOU

25:34 - HAVE TO WAIT THOSE

25:36 - CONSIDERATIONS. SO WE BELIEVE

25:38 - THAT OUR 3.7% APPROPRIATION

25:39 - INCREASE IS TIED TO INFLATION

25:42 - IS RESPONSIBLE. ALLOWS US TO

25:45 - FOCUS ON THAT PARTNERSHIP AND

25:46 - REPRESENT OUR COMMITMENTS THAT

25:47 - YOU HELPED US CRAFTER A

25:49 - STRATEGIC PLAN TO PROVIDE

25:50 - AFFORDABLE, WORLD-CLASS

25:51 - EDUCATION TO PENNSYLVANIA

25:52 - STUDENTS AND WITH GREAT

25:53 - APPRECIATION FOR THE COMPLEXITY

25:54 - OF DECISIONS THAT FACE YOU.

25:58 - THIS REQUEST IS VERY SPECIFIC

26:00 - TO OUR GENERAL APPROPRIATION.

26:02 - AND WE'RE VERY PROUD TO ALSO

26:04 - HAVE WORKED WITH THE 5%

26:04 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FUNDING

26:08 - COUNCIL TO THINK ABOUT HOW PITT

26:09 - PENN STATE AND TEMPLE CAN WORK

26:12 - AND INCENTIVIZE WAY IN THE

26:14 - AREAS THAT WE'VE COLLECTIVELY

26:15 - IDENTIFIED AS THE HIGHEST FOCUS

26:16 - AREAS HIGH-DEMAND CAREERS

26:17 - SERVING OUR STUDENTS IN THOSE

26:19 - SPACES.

26:22 - IN SHORT, WE THINK THIS

26:22 - RESPONSIBLE INCREASE REQUESTS

26:24 - ALLOWS US TO PROTECT

26:26 - AFFORDABILITY FOR PENNSYLVANIA

26:26 - STUDENTS MAINTAIN OUR

26:28 - EXCELLENCE IN WAYS THAT HAVE

26:30 - YIELDED FOR THE COMMONWEALTH

26:32 - AND IN WAYS THAT WE KNOW MAKE

26:33 - THE FUTURE VERY BRIGHT FOR ALL

26:34 - OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN ALL OF

26:35 - THE CONSTITUENCIES THAT WE

26:37 - SERVE. SO WITH THAT, I'll CLOSE.

26:38 - BY RENEWING MY APPRECIATION FOR

26:39 - YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. AND

26:42 - WITH THAT MR CHAIR, I LOOK

26:44 - FORWARD TO IT. THANK YOU ALL.

26:47 - WE'RE GOING TO START WITH

26:49 - REPRESENTATIVE SANCHEZ. THANK

26:49 - YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN FOR GOOD

26:50 - MORNING. PRESIDENTS AND

26:52 - CHANCELLOR.

26:54 - AND NOT 3 OF YOU ARE GOING

26:56 - TO GET A LITTLE BREATHER.

26:56 - CAUSE BY QUESTIONS ARE FOR DR

27:00 - FRY THIS MORNING.

27:03 - PRESIDENT FREI

27:05 - WE WERE CHATTING A LITTLE BIT

27:08 - WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE

27:09 - AFICION SEES THAT YOU'VE BEEN

27:11 - BUILDING INTO A THE PROGRAM AND

27:17 - AND GET YOUR VIEW ON HOW THAT'S

27:19 - BEEN HELPING MOVE FORWARD WITH

27:20 - ALL THE PLANS YOU KIND OF LAID

27:21 - OUT IN YOUR OPENING STATEMENT

27:24 - THANK YOU, REPRESENTATIVE.

27:25 - I WANT TO CONFESS TO A LITTLE

27:27 - BIT OF IMPOSTER SYNDROME.

27:28 - I'M NOT A DOCTOR. I'M NOT A

27:30 - PHD. SO JUST.

27:31 - JUST FOR THE RECORD FOR THANK

27:34 - YOU. THANKS FOR THE PROMOTION.

27:35 - I APPRECIATE STEPHANIE NOT

27:37 - DESERVED.

27:41 - TEMPLE HAS

27:41 - BEEN THROUGH A LOT OVER THE

27:45 - LAST DECADE IN 2000.

27:48 - 17, OUR ENROLLMENT CRESTED OVER

27:49 - 40,000 BUT HAS STARTED LAST

27:51 - YEAR. IT WAS A LITTLE OVER

27:54 - 30,0301005 TO BE PRECISE.

27:55 - SO WE'VE LOST A LOT OF

27:56 - STUDENTS. I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT

27:57 - HOW WE'RE BUILDING BACK

28:00 - ENROLLMENT IN A SECOND. BUT

28:01 - THAT NECESSITATES ALIGNING YOUR

28:03 - EXPENSES WITH YOUR REVENUES

28:04 - WHEN YOU'VE LOST THAT MUCH OF

28:05 - YOUR REVENUES ABOUT. ALMOST

28:11 - 25%. SO OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS,

28:12 - WE'VE TAKEN ABOUT 300 MILLION

28:13 - DOLLARS OF EXPENSE OUT OF THE

28:15 - INSTITUTION. NO, YOU CAN'T CUT

28:16 - YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS AND

28:19 - VICTORY. ON THE OTHER HAND,

28:20 - STEWARDSHIP IS THE WATCHWORD

28:21 - HERE. AND WE NEED TO BE

28:21 - RESPONSIBLE STEWARDS. SO WE'VE

28:24 - WE'VE INITIATED A SIGNIFICANT

28:25 - NUMBER OF PAINFUL CUTS LAST

28:27 - YEAR. MY FIRST YEAR WITH THE

28:29 - CLOSE TO 40 MILLION DOLLARS.

28:31 - RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A NUMBER OF

28:33 - SPECIFIC INITIATIVES IN PLACE

28:33 - ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE AND

28:37 - THE ACADEMIC SIDE. JUST ONE

28:40 - EXAMPLE TO YOUR QUESTION.

28:41 - WE COMPLETED A FACULTY EARLY

28:46 - RETIREMENT PROGRAM.

28:48 - 77 FACULTY, EXCEPTED.

28:49 - THE PROGRAM AND THE SAVINGS

28:50 - ARE 15 MILLION DOLLARS IN

28:54 - SALARY AND BENEFITS.

28:54 - SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF SOME

28:56 - HIGHLY TARGETED WORK THAT WE'RE

28:58 - DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU

29:00 - KNOW, OUR FACULTY AND OUR STAFF

29:00 - SORT OF ALONG WITH WHERE OUR

29:03 - ENROLLMENT IS.

29:05 - WE'RE LOOKING ON THE 4 CORNERS

29:07 - OF THE INSTITUTION RELATIVE TO

29:09 - EXPENSE REDUCTIONS AT THE SAME

29:12 - TIME, I HAVE GOOD NEWS RELATIVE

29:16 - TO OUR FIRST YEAR CLASS

29:18 - LAST YEAR OF SEPTEMBER. WE

29:19 - WELCOME THE LARGEST CLASS IN

29:23 - OUR HISTORY.

29:24 - 5,479.481% PERCENT OF THEM

29:25 - ARE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILIES

29:29 - TO GO TO COLLEGE. 51% OF

29:30 - ELIGIBLE SO LAST YEAR AND THE

29:33 - YEAR BEFORE THAT TO RECORD

29:33 - BREAKING CLASSES THIS YEAR.

29:37 - WE'RE ABOUT 12% UP IN

29:38 - APPLICATIONS AND OVER 10% UP

29:41 - IN DEPOSITS. SO I CAN TELL YOU

29:42 - WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO

29:43 - BE RIGHT NOW. BUT I CAN TELL

29:47 - YOU THAT WE'RE STARTING TO

29:47 - BUILD BACK ENROLLMENT. IT'S

29:48 - GOING TO TAKE US MANY YEARS

29:50 - TO GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

29:52 - I'D BE VERY HAPPY IF WE

29:53 - EVENTUALLY GOT OURSELVES INTO

29:55 - THE 33 TO 35,000 LEVEL, THE

29:59 - SCORE, THE WAY EXCLUDES OUR

30:00 - WORK ON IN JAPAN. WE HAVE 3

30:03 - CAMPUSES IN JAPAN, ONE IN ROME.

30:04 - THAT ACCOUNTS FOR ANOTHER POST,

30:07 - A 4,000 STUDENTS. BUT THE

30:08 - NUMBER I'M WORKING WITH RIGHT

30:10 - NOW IS ABOUT 29,000. THAT'S

30:11 - THE DOMESTIC ENROLLMENT.

30:12 - THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SORT OF FOCUS

30:15 - ON RIGHT NOW. AND SO FROM FROM

30:18 - A REVENUE STANDPOINT, I THINK

30:19 - BETWEEN BETWEEN NOT THE

30:22 - OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE OVER

30:23 - ENDOWMENT, ALL OF WHICH A TOP

30:27 - DECILE ELEMENT AND OF UP TO

30:27 - VERY, VERY STRONG YEARS.

30:28 - A RECENT FUNDRAISING. WE'RE

30:32 - STARTING TO MAKE IT BACK ON THE

30:33 - REVENUE SIDE RIGHT NOW ARE

30:36 - UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE TO

30:37 - CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THE EXPENSE

30:39 - SIDE TO CONTINUE TO BALANCED

30:40 - OUR BUDGET WITHOUT USING TOO

30:41 - MANY OF OUR RESERVES. SO IT'S

30:44 - IT'S A TIE POSITION. ALLY.

30:44 - I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO REPORT

30:46 - BACK TO IN THE YEARS TO COME.

30:48 - WE'RE CONTINUING TO MAKE

30:49 - PROGRESS ON THAT. WELL,

30:49 - CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT REVENUE

30:51 - SIDE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO

30:52 - THOSE.

30:55 - FUTURE REPORTS AND JUST WITH

30:58 - THE REMAINING TIME, I

30:58 - KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT

30:59 - INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY

31:00 - AND, YOU KNOW, THE BROAD STREET

31:02 - CORRIDOR HAS THERE. I KNOW

31:03 - YOU'VE BEEN IN THE POSITION

31:06 - NOW TO 2 YEARS.

31:07 - HAS THERE BEEN ANY A MILESTONE

31:08 - THERE THAT YOU'RE PARTICULARLY

31:10 - PROUD OF?

31:12 - IT'S BEEN 14 MONTHS AGO.

31:12 - IT OFTEN FEELS LIKE 2 YEARS

31:15 - OR MORE.

31:17 - BUT I WOULD SAY THAT.

31:19 - FIRST IS THAT I THINK WE HAVE

31:21 - A VERY, VERY CLEAR PLAN OF WHAT

31:22 - WE NEED TO DO. WE BASICALLY

31:24 - ARE FOCUSED ON BROAD STREET

31:25 - FROM CENTER CITY TO THE EDGE OF

31:27 - OUR HEALTH SCIENCES, CAMPUS.

31:28 - THAT'S ABOUT 5 MILES OR WE'RE

31:33 - NOT ATTEMPTING TO DEVELOP ALL

31:33 - OF BROAD STREET IN THOSE AREAS.

31:34 - BUT AROUND THE 3 NOTES OF

31:36 - CENTER CITY CAMPUS, MAIN CAMPUS

31:39 - SCIENCES, CAMPUS, WE'VE MADE A

31:42 - COUPLE OF VERY IMPORTANT

31:42 - STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS OF

31:43 - PROPERTIES THAT FRANKLY HAVE

31:46 - BEEN TROUBLE PROPERTIES A FAIR

31:46 - AMOUNT OF CRIME AROUND THOSE.

31:47 - WE'VE TAKEN THOSE OVER. WE

31:48 - CLEAN THOSE UP. WE'RE GETTING

31:51 - THEM READY FOR DEVELOPMENT.

31:53 - WE HAVE A COUPLE OF RFP IS OUT

31:54 - RIGHT NOW TO A PARTNER WITH OF

31:58 - QUALIFIED DEVELOPERS TO HELP US

32:00 - MAKE INVESTMENTS, IN SOME STEM

32:03 - BASED COMMERCIAL WORK THAT

32:06 - WE'RE AROUND SOME PROPERTIES

32:07 - THAT CAN BE RENOVATED FOR

32:09 - SCIENCE AND PROTECT TRANSER

32:11 - AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO

32:12 - CONSTRUCTION OF THE RESIDENTS

32:14 - ON CAMPUS BECAUSE WE REALLY

32:15 - DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BEDS ON OUR

32:16 - CAMPUS. I THINK THAT WILL

32:18 - CONTRIBUTE TO THE SAFETY AND

32:19 - SECURITY OF OUR ENVIRONMENT AND

32:20 - ALSO, I THINK WILL HELP WITH

32:23 - ATTENTION. SO.

32:24 - WE'RE TESTING THE MARKET RIGHT

32:25 - NOW. IF WE CAN GET SOME

32:26 - THIRD-PARTY INVESTMENTS TO COME

32:30 - OUR WAY, I THINK THAT WILL BE

32:31 - SORT OF EARLY INDICATION THAT

32:33 - THIS IDEA OF AN INNOVATION

32:33 - CARTER, BROAD STREET HAS SOME

32:36 - LEGS, BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW,

32:38 - GIVEN OUR SITUATION RIGHT NOW,

32:41 - WE ARE COMPLETELY RELIANT ON

32:42 - MAKING THESE THESE

32:43 - PARTNERSHIPS, WHICH I THINK IS

32:44 - ACTUALLY GOOD FOR THE SOUL OF

32:46 - THE INSTITUTION BECAUSE WE GET

32:47 - TO WORK WITH OTHERS, GET TO

32:49 - EXCHANGE IDEAS WITH THEM.

32:49 - HOPEFULLY SEE THEIR INVESTMENT

32:52 - COME OUR WAY. SO I'D SAY RIGHT

32:54 - NOW THAT THE VISION IS CLEAR,

32:55 - WE'RE IN FILLING WITH CERTAIN

32:56 - ACQUISITIONS OF PROPERTIES AND

32:58 - WE'RE STARTING TO TESS THE

33:01 - DEVELOPMENT MARKET AND I'll.

33:02 - KEEP YOU POSTED. GREAT. THANK

33:04 - YOU. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT

33:05 - ALL COMING TO FRUITION. THANKS.

33:05 - THANKS AGAIN. THANKS, JENNA.

33:08 - AND REPRESENTATIVE MAKEUP.

33:10 - THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN COULD

33:11 - BE A DOCTOR. DOCTOR, PRESIDENT

33:14 - DOCTOR? YEAH.

33:15 - I'M NOT A DOCTOR EITHER.

33:18 - ACTUALLY, IT'S A A.

33:21 - IF SOMEONE GOES DOWN FOR

33:21 - MEDICAL REASONS, WE'LL STILL

33:27 - SO MY FIRST QUESTION, I GET A

33:30 - COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS FOR YOU

33:31 - ALL EACH ONE OF YOU HAVE

33:32 - SUBMITTED YOUR BUDGET REQUESTS

33:36 - THIS YEAR. I'M A HUGE SUPPORTER

33:37 - OF HIGHER. AND I THINK MOST OF

33:38 - THE PEOPLE IN THIS CHAMBER ARE

33:40 - MOST PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING,

33:45 - WEATHERS VOCATIONAL SKILL DOOR

33:45 - DEGREES, EXPANDING YOUR

33:46 - KNOWLEDGE AND INCREASING

33:47 - LEARNING. CONTINUING LEARNING

33:50 - IS GREAT. I CAN SAY THE ONE

33:53 - THING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

33:56 - HIGHER ED IS ALWAYS TOP OF MIND

33:57 - IS TUITION FREEZES FOR IT.

33:57 - SO HE'S KIND OF CREEPING UP.

34:00 - AND SO FOR AVERAGE CONSTITUENTS

34:01 - ARE ALWAYS WONDERING ABOUT

34:03 - TUITION FREEZE FOR.

34:07 - INSTITUTIONS ONE OF THE THINGS

34:08 - THAT CONCERN ME ABOUT THE

34:10 - GOVERNOR'S BUDGET IS THAT HE

34:12 - PROPOSED TO FLAT FUND YOU ALL

34:16 - IN HIS UPCOMING BUDGET. CAN YOU

34:18 - ALL JUST QUICKLY SPEAK ABOUT

34:20 - WHAT THAT WOULD DO TO INCREASE

34:21 - TUITION ON NOT ONLY OUT OF

34:23 - STATE, BUT I'M SURE IN STATE

34:24 - PENNSYLVANIANS TRYING TO GO TO

34:27 - YOUR WORLD RENOWN SCHOOLS.

34:29 - JUST REAL QUICK. WHAT KIND OF

34:30 - A TUITION INCREASE THAT'S GOING

34:34 - TO PUT ON PENNSYLVANIANS?

34:37 - WE'RE STILL DEVELOPING OUR

34:38 - BUDGET. WE ARE ANTICIPATING A

34:42 - TUITION INCREASE.

34:43 - WE HAVE HELD TUITION

34:45 - INCREASES BELOW INFLATION FOR

34:47 - WE MEASURE BACK 10 YEARS.

34:48 - SO AT LEAST FOR THAT PERIOD

34:50 - OF TIME. APPRECIATE IT. WHICH

34:53 - IS AT.

34:56 - RESULTING IN A VERY HEAVY

34:56 - CONSTRAINT ON OTHER STRATEGIC

34:59 - INVESTMENTS THAT WERE ABLE TO

35:00 - MAKE THAT THE MASK IS

35:04 - RELATIVELY CLEAR THAT AND WHEN

35:06 - YOU HOLD TUITION OR PULLED

35:06 - APPROPRIATIONS FLAT IN AN

35:09 - INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT,

35:10 - EXPENSES CONTINUE TO GO UP AND

35:12 - WE HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT

35:13 - SOMEHOW. AND SO THAT HAS

35:15 - RESULTED IN TUITION INCREASES.

35:16 - YOU DON'T HAVE A NUMBER, BUT

35:16 - IT'S GUARANTEE THAT IT'S GOING

35:19 - TO INCREASE.

35:21 - FOR A RANGE RIGHT NOW WE'RE

35:23 - WORKING ON OUR BUDGET. LIKE WAS

35:24 - WE'RE IN A RANGE OF BETWEEN

35:26 - 3.63.9%.

35:27 - INCREASES WHAT WE'RE LOOKING

35:28 - AT. PART OF THE REASON WE ASKED

35:31 - FOR 16% INCREASE IN

35:33 - APPROPRIATION IS TO ELIMINATE

35:33 - THAT FOR IN-STATE RESIDENTS SO

35:35 - WE CAN CHARGE NOTHING MORE THAN

35:37 - WE CHARGE RIGHT NOW. SO THAT'S

35:39 - THAT'S THE ONLY FOCUS OF OUR

35:42 - INCREASES TO TRY

35:43 - TO AVOID AS SEEN IN A LONG TO

35:43 - CORRECT YOUR STUDENTS.

35:46 - APPRECIATE THAT.

35:50 - WE MOVED TO A TWO-YEAR BUDGET

35:51 - MODEL BECAUSE BEN BUDGET SIDE

35:54 - DELAYED AND BEING PASSED TO PUT

35:54 - SOME PRESSURE ON US AND

35:56 - FAMILIES CREATES AN SEC UNITY.

35:58 - SO OUR BUDGET RATES FOR 2627

36:00 - HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED.

36:01 - WHAT WE ARE PROUD UP IS ON OUR

36:04 - COMMONWEALTH CAMPUSES. ONCE

36:05 - AGAIN, WE HAVE NO INCREASES AT

36:06 - ALL. THAT WOULD BE LIKE THE

36:07 - 4TH YEAR FOR THE UNIVERSITY

36:11 - PARK IN STATE.

36:11 - EVERY EXPENSE OF INFLATION, IT

36:13 - WOULD BE ABOUT 2% INCREASE.

36:15 - THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO

36:17 - POINT OUT THAT WE'RE PROUD OFF

36:21 - IS THAT IF YOU ADJUST

36:21 - FOR INFLATION, STUDENTS AT PENN

36:22 - STATE AND NOW THING $1000 LESS.

36:24 - AND THEY WERE A DECADE AGO.

36:31 - SO BECAUSE WE'VE KEPT ALL AND

36:31 - INCREASES SUB INFLATION AND

36:32 - WE'VE SEEN NO INCREASES IN

36:34 - APPROPRIATIONS.

36:35 - APPRECIATE THAT. AND IF YOU

36:36 - COULD GET YOUR UPDATED NUMBERS

36:37 - TO US LATER ON. SO WE CAN TAKE

36:40 - A LOOK AT THAT. JUST SO WE KNOW

36:41 - WE HAVE THOSE NUMBERS

36:44 - APPRECIATED. NEXT QUICK CIRCUIT

36:47 - ANSWERS. REAL QUICK.

36:49 - WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THE

36:50 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FUNDING.

36:51 - IF YOU ALL COULD JUST QUICKLY

36:52 - SPEAK ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND

36:53 - HOW THAT'S AFFECTED YOUR

36:55 - BUDGET.

36:58 - THIS IS A PASSION FOR ME.

36:59 - SO MY LOOKING TO ME KNOWING I

37:01 - WOULD ANSWER THAT I HAVE BEEN

37:04 - A STRONG PROPONENT, A

37:04 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FUNDING

37:06 - EVERYWHERE I'VE BEEN BECAUSE

37:09 - IT TIES THE GOALS OF THE

37:11 - COMMONWEALTH. STEWARDS OF

37:11 - TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND OUR

37:12 - MISSION AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING

37:14 - TO DO SO VERY, VERY SUPPORTIVE

37:17 - OF IT. EVENTUALLY A WHOLE

37:19 - PERFORMANCE BASED FUNDING.

37:20 - FIRST, WE NEED TO GET THE

37:21 - FUNDING. THEN WE NEED TO MAKE

37:22 - IT TRULY PERFORMANCE-BASED.

37:24 - AND I'M VERY PROUD OF THE

37:27 - BIPARTISAN WORK THAT WAS DONE.

37:28 - NOW THAT MEANS A LOT TO US

37:30 - AND HEAR FROM ALLOCATING FUNDS

37:31 - TO YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE

37:31 - FUNDS ARE BEING USED AS

37:34 - EFFICIENTLY

37:35 - AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY.

37:36 - WELL, WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING

37:37 - ON WITH THE BUDGET SCRAPING THE

37:38 - BOTTOM OF THE BARREL. SO

37:42 - GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT.

37:43 - LAST ONE LAST QUICK QUESTION.

37:44 - GIVEN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

37:47 - AROUND THE WORLD AND ARE ANY OF

37:50 - YOUR CAMPUSES WORKING ON LIKE

37:51 - MICRO NUCLEAR REACTORS? AND IF

37:51 - SO, CAN YOU SPEAK ON THAT OR?

37:54 - BUT AS FAR AS RENEWABLE ENERGY?

37:58 - I'M I'M HAPPY AND PROUD TO

38:00 - SPEAK ABOUT THIS. AND STATE HAS

38:04 - THE FIRST

38:04 - LIST CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING UP

38:06 - EVERY ACTOR IN THE COUNTRY.

38:07 - SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT.

38:11 - IT'S 75 YEARS. AND SO THE NEXT

38:12 - PHASE, OF COURSE, IS THESE

38:13 - MICRO NUCLEAR REACTORS. WE ARE

38:15 - WORKING ON MAYBE PARTNERING

38:17 - WITH WESTINGHOUSE AND OTHERS.

38:19 - IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE

38:19 - PROPOSITION FOR SURE. AND I

38:22 - THINK FOR PENNSYLVANIA, GIVEN

38:23 - THAT WE'VE HAD THIS HISTORY

38:24 - INVESTING IN, IT WOULD BE VERY

38:27 - CRITICAL AND WE'RE TRYING.

38:28 - WE'RE TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE

38:31 - CAN GET THERE. I WORRY BECAUSE

38:32 - OTHER STATES THAT ARE

38:33 - APPROPRIATING MORE MIGHT BE

38:35 - BEST TO IT.

38:36 - AND JUST ONE COMMENT ON THAT,

38:37 - MR. CHAIRMAN, I KNOW THE

38:41 - MILITARY IS LOOKING AT

38:42 - SUPPLYING THEIR ELECTRICITY

38:43 - FOR THEIR BASES WITH THESE

38:46 - MICRO NUCLEAR REACTORS. THANK

38:48 - YOU, MR. SAD FACE NOW. I'M

38:49 - SORRY. THANK THE GENTLEMAN

38:52 - REPRESENTATIVE CAUGHT.

38:53 - THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN HARRIS,

38:54 - THANK YOU, PRESIDENT. THANK YOU

38:54 - FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR

38:58 - YOUR WORK. ACROSS THE NATION

39:00 - OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES,

39:01 - WE'VE SEEN A DECLINE IN UNION

39:03 - MEMBERSHIP. IT SHOULD BE NO.

39:09 - CONFUSION THAT. WHAT WE'VE BEEN

39:11 - SEEING WITH WORKERS. DECREASED

39:14 - SATISFACTION ON THE JOBS.

39:16 - WAR OF THE WEALTH GAP BETWEEN

39:17 - PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING.

39:21 - THE BOTTOM. AND PEOPLE WHO ARE

39:22 - THE NEW MILLIONAIRES AND

39:24 - BILLIONAIRES IN THE WORLD.

39:25 - WE'RE SEEING THIS GAP CONTINUES

39:29 - TO WIDEN. THERE IS SOMETHING

39:30 - THAT'S PROMISING WE'RE SEEING

39:31 - IN SORT OF A NEW DAY OF

39:33 - UNIONIZATION. MORE PEOPLE ARE

39:33 - UNIONIZING AND WE'RE SEEING

39:36 - THIS AND UNIVERSITIES FACULTY

39:39 - ARE STARTING TO UNIONIZE.

39:42 - MY QUESTION IS.

39:45 - FOR YOU ALL. BUT I LIKE TO

39:48 - START WITH DR BENNETT, WHO WE

39:49 - ARE SEEING THIS SEIU. I KNOW

39:49 - THEY'VE ORGANIZED BY 5700

39:51 - FACULTY WORKERS. WILL YOU

39:54 - COMMIT?

39:55 - NOT TO USE ANY UNIVERSITY

39:58 - FUNDS? FOR TAXPAYER MONEY OR

40:00 - ANY OTHER RESOURCES TO

40:01 - DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM

40:02 - EXERCISING THEIR DEMOCRATIC

40:06 - RIGHT TO JOIN A UNION.

40:10 - YES.

40:10 - AND WE'RE ALL ONLY

40:13 - REPRESENTED ALREADY. SO.

40:15 - YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOVE AND

40:18 - UNIONS, I THINK GREAT

40:18 - RELATIONSHIPS WITH ALL OF THEM

40:19 - ARE WORKING THROUGH A CONTRACT.

40:20 - NOW WITH OUR GRADUATE STUDENTS.

40:21 - AND I THINK WE'RE IN A GOOD

40:24 - PLACE WITH THEM AS WELL.

40:25 - FACULTIES ARE REALLY NICE.

40:28 - IT MAKES HIM A CLERICAL AND

40:33 - MY POLICE. AND MY SECOND

40:34 - QUESTION IS, WILL YOU COMMIT TO

40:36 - NOT USING?

40:38 - RESOURCES, WHETHER IT'S

40:39 - UNITY, UNIVERSITY RESOURCES,

40:39 - WHETHER IT'S TAXPAYER DOLLARS

40:44 - ON MISINFORMATION ON COMMITTEE

40:44 - PEOPLE. WHY IT'S NOT A GOOD

40:47 - IDEA TO JOINING IN.

40:52 - AND, YES, YES, YES.

40:55 - MY SECOND QUESTION, I TALKED

40:58 - TO SOME INDIVIDUALLY ABOUT WHAT

40:59 - WE'RE SEEING, SOME OF THAT

41:01 - POLITICAL HEADWINDS COMING FROM

41:03 - WASHINGTON. WE SEE THAT WITH HR

41:04 - ONE THAT WAS PASSED IN JULY 4TH

41:07 - OF LAST YEAR. RECLASSIFYING

41:08 - WHAT'S CONSIDERED PROFESSIONAL

41:12 - PROFESSIONAL DEGREE. I'M A

41:12 - NURSE AS HIS REPRESENTATIVE

41:13 - FROM LACKAWANNA REPRESENTATIVE

41:16 - CARS OR ASK E.

41:17 - NURSING APPARENTLY IS NO

41:20 - LONGER.

41:20 - A PROFESSIONAL DEGREE.

41:23 - ACCORDING TO HR ONE. ALSO, SOME

41:26 - PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED THAT IN

41:29 - PROFESSIONS LIKE ARCHITECTURE

41:29 - PROFESSIONS LIKE BEING A

41:30 - PHYSICAL THERAPIST, PHYSICIAN,

41:32 - ASSISTANT.

41:35 - IS NO LONGER OR SOCIAL WORKERS

41:36 - NO LONGER CONSIDERED A

41:38 - PROFESSIONAL TO GREAT.

41:40 - CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT

41:40 - THAT THIS HAS HAD ON YOUR

41:43 - STUDENTS? AND ALSO IN THE

41:45 - WORKFORCE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING

41:48 - HERE IN THE COMMONWEALTH.

41:49 - AND WHAT IF ANYTHING YOU'RE

41:49 - ABLE TO DO TO SORT OF

41:50 - COUNTERACT THOSE HEADWINDS

41:52 - COMING OUT OF WASHINGTON.

41:55 - START AT SO YOU'RE CORRECT,

41:58 - REPRESENTATIVE THAT.

42:00 - THEY'RE UP AND CATEGORIZATION

42:01 - OF WHAT CONSTITUTES A

42:03 - PROFESSIONAL DEGREE AND THE

42:05 - RESULTING FINANCIAL AID LOOK

42:06 - VERY LOW-COST FINANCIAL AID

42:07 - THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO AS A

42:10 - RESULT AND MANY OF THE FIELDS

42:13 - THAT WERE LEFT OFF OF THE LIST

42:15 - ARE HIGH DEMAND. HIGH WORKFORCE

42:17 - HIGH NEED HIGH COMMUNITY IMPACT

42:18 - FIELDS, ALL THE ONES THAT YOU

42:21 - DESCRIBE SEVERAL OTHERS IN

42:22 - HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL WORKERS,

42:24 - TEACHERS ARE NOT CONSIDER

42:27 - PROFESSIONAL. IT'S IT WAS THAT

42:29 - A LIST THAT WOULD HAVE LOOKED

42:31 - QUITE DIFFERENT, HAD BEEN

42:32 - CONSULTED, I THINK, WITH

42:33 - REPRESENTATIVES FROM HIGHER

42:34 - EDUCATION OR FROM THAT

42:35 - PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OR

42:39 - UNIONS. WE ARE ADVOCATING.

42:43 - VERY ACTIVELY IN DC AND I THERE

42:44 - IS THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT LIST

42:46 - BEING AMENDED. WE'RE VERY

42:47 - HOPEFUL ABOUT THAT BOTH AS

42:48 - INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONS AND

42:50 - ALSO THROUGH OUR NATIONAL

42:51 - ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE

42:52 - ASSOCIATION FOR PUBLIC AND

42:53 - LAND-GRANT UNIVERSITIES OR YOU

42:54 - THE ASSOCIATION FOR AMERICAN

42:59 - UNIVERSITIES, WHICH ACROSS I

43:00 - REPRESENT MANY OF THE

43:01 - PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS THAT ARE

43:02 - AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE.

43:05 - BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE DON'T

43:07 - WANT TO SEE THE DIP IN

43:08 - ENROLLMENT BECAUSE IT'S VERY

43:09 - HARD TO DIG BACK OUT. ONCE YOU

43:13 - SEE THAT VALLEY HIT IN THESE

43:14 - FIELDS. AND SO WE'RE WORKING

43:17 - VERY CLOSELY ON OUR OWN

43:17 - RESOURCES. WE ARE READY AWARD.

43:19 - A LOT OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL AID

43:21 - AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THE

43:22 - STRATEGIC ALLOCATION OF THAT

43:24 - FINANCIAL AID WORKING VERY

43:25 - CLOSELY FILM TROPIC LEE,

43:26 - INDIVIDUAL DONORS, FOUNDATIONS

43:29 - WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE

43:29 - PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS TO

43:33 - MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN

43:34 - ENROLLMENT IN THESE PROGRAMS

43:36 - BECAUSE TO A PROGRAM, THEY'RE

43:36 - VERY HIGH WORKFORCE NEED AREAS.

43:39 - WE GOT THE YELLOW LIGHTS.

43:39 - I THINK WE'LL HAVE ONE MORE

43:42 - RIGHT?

43:45 - THE 80 SECONDS ALL SAY IS HR

43:48 - ONE FOR THE REASONS THAT

43:50 - CHANCELLOR GABLE JUST

43:52 - ARTICULATED HAS BEEN

43:52 - DEVASTATING OR POTENTIALLY

43:53 - COULD BE DEVASTATING. BUT ON

43:54 - TOP OF THAT, OUR TEMPLE

43:56 - UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM IS

43:58 - FACING 520 MILLION DOLLARS

43:58 - WORTH OF CUTS OVER THE NEXT

44:02 - 10 YEARS IN IN IN MEDICAID

44:06 - FUNDING. 2 ALREADY. FOR

44:07 - POPULATION. SO YOU TAKE THIS

44:10 - AND YOU ADD JUST THE CORE

44:10 - FUNDING FOR THE 6 HOSPITALS

44:12 - THAT WE'RE ON UNDERNEATH TO

44:16 - UHS AND I MEAN, THE IMPACT OF

44:16 - HR ONE IS IT IS DEVASTATING.

44:18 - I'M NOT I'M NOT BEING DRAMATIC.

44:19 - THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN.

44:22 - THANKS, JEN. ON REPRESENTATIVE

44:26 - NELSON. THANK YOU,

44:27 - MR. CHAIR, WELCOME EVERYONE.

44:29 - IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE YOU

44:30 - HERE.

44:34 - AS A FATHER OF 7 WITH FOR

44:35 - KIDS IN COLLEGE. YOU KNOW, MY

44:37 - WIFE AND I HAVE REALLY, YOU

44:40 - KNOW, WE FELT THE WE FELT THE

44:42 - PAIN THEY'RE STARTING TO LAUNCH

44:43 - AND THEY'RE STARTING TO

44:43 - GRADUATE WITH GREAT CAREER.

44:44 - SHE KNOWS WE'VE HAD STUDENTS

44:45 - ATTEND A NUMBER OF YOUR

44:48 - UNIVERSITIES AND OTHERS.

44:49 - I'D LIKE TO DIG A LITTLE BIT

44:51 - DEEPER FIRST IN THE AREA OF

44:53 - THE PERFORMANCE BASED FUNDING

44:56 - FORMULA PRESENT GABLE. YOU HAD

44:57 - MENTIONED THE PERFORMANCE

44:58 - BASED, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR

45:01 - OPENING REMARKS AND RETENTION

45:02 - OR PLACEMENT RATES. I THINK

45:03 - OURS ARE ONE OF THOSE METRICS.

45:05 - IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR 97%.

45:08 - THE GOVERNOR HAS 30 MILLION

45:11 - DOLLARS PROPOSED IN HIS BUDGET.

45:14 - AND THIS IS IT'S A NEWER

45:14 - PROGRAM. BIPARTISAN PRESIDENT

45:15 - BENDAPUDI. YOU HAD MENTIONED

45:18 - THAT

45:20 - NEXT FRIDAY. THE

45:23 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FUNDING.

45:26 - COUNCIL BEGINS TO

45:27 - MEET AGAIN. AND I HAVE YEAR

45:28 - UNIVERSITIES BEEN SUPPLYING.

45:32 - THE INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED

45:35 - TO BE ABLE TO START TO LOOK AT

45:36 - HOW THIS FORMULA IS GOING TO

45:37 - BE MOVING FORWARD. YOU WHAT

45:39 - HAVE YOU FOUND THROUGH THIS

45:40 - PROCESS AND HAVE YOU BEEN

45:41 - SATISFIED WITH WHERE WE ARE

45:43 - RIGHT NOW?

45:48 - I I WANT TO

45:49 - SAY THAT AS AND ALSO FROM WHAT

45:51 - PRESIDENT BENDAPUDI SAID THAT

45:52 - I THINK THIS WAS A REMARKABLY

45:58 - ALLIED AT EFFORT BY BIPARTISAN

46:01 - ACROSS THE INSTITUTIONS.

46:03 - IT'S REALLY IT'S JUST REALLY

46:03 - NICE TO SEE EVERYONE ON THE

46:05 - SAME PAGE IN TERMS. AND SO NOW

46:06 - WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE IT UNFOLD.

46:09 - I THINK. I KNOW THAT YOU'LL SEE

46:14 - SOME REALLY AND CLEAR OUT COMES

46:15 - AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSPARENCY

46:16 - AND CLARITY WITH WHICH THAT

46:20 - DEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMULA

46:22 - RELIED UPON. WE HAVE BEEN VERY

46:23 - ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN PROVIDING

46:25 - ALL THE INFORMATION ASKED OF US

46:27 - AND WOULD OBVIOUSLY CONTINUE

46:29 - TO VERY HAPPILY PROVIDE THAT

46:32 - INFORMATION AND ADVOCACY.

46:33 - WE'RE DELIGHTED TO SEE IT IN

46:34 - THE BUDGET. WE HOPE THAT THAT

46:37 - STICKS, IF YOU WILL. AND WE

46:39 - THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE AS A

46:40 - RESULT IS EVEN MORE ENROLLMENT

46:42 - IN THAT HIGH DEMAND. HIGH

46:45 - WORKFORCE NEED AREAS.

46:47 - MANAGEABLE, AFFORDABLE COST

46:49 - WITH GOOD GRADUATION RATES AND

46:50 - GOOD PLACEMENT, WHICH IS WHAT

46:52 - WE ALL WANT. THAT'S GREAT TO

46:53 - HEAR A NEW WORD. WE'RE TIGHT

46:54 - ON TIME. SO AS WE'RE THE

46:57 - BELIEVER IN COMPETITION IS

46:57 - HEALTHY.

46:59 - YOU KNOW, HAVING THOSE

46:59 - METRICS AND THAT PRIORITY,

47:01 - WOULD YOUR UNIVERSITIES BE

47:02 - INTERESTED IN FOR FUTURE

47:05 - FUNDING?

47:06 - OR

47:06 - ADJUSTING. YOU KNOW, THE

47:08 - CURRENT STATE RELATED FUNDING,

47:09 - WHICH IS OFTEN VERY

47:11 - CONTROVERSIAL IN THE CHAMBER

47:14 - TO BEGIN TO ROLL OUT THROUGH

47:15 - THE PERFORMANCE-BASED FUNDING

47:16 - COMMISSION OR PORTIONS OF IT.

47:20 - ABSOLUTELY.

47:20 - I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE

47:21 - WOULD ALL WANT TO BE PART OFF

47:24 - IN DISCUSSIONS. MAKE SURE THAT

47:25 - IT'S COLLEGIAL AND IT'S

47:27 - COLLABORATIVE. BUT I GENUINELY

47:28 - LIKE YOU, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE

47:31 - RIGHT THING. SEND THE SIGNAL

47:33 - TO US ON WHAT MATTERS TO YOU

47:34 - AND THEN TO HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE

47:36 - TO IT. THAT'S ALL WE ASK FOR.

47:37 - THAT'S GREAT. GREAT TO HEAR

47:38 - ANOTHER NEW PROGRAM. AND THAT

47:42 - WAS BIPARTISAN WAS THE GROUP

47:43 - HE A SCHOLARSHIP. YOU KNOW,

47:46 - PENCIL. IT'S NEW TO

47:47 - PENNSYLVANIA. I THINK IT'S

47:48 - GOING TO BE RIGHT AROUND.

47:50 - 32 MILLION DOLLARS THAT ARE

47:50 - GOING TO STUDENTS FOR, AS YOU

47:51 - HAD MENTIONED, THESE HIGH

47:54 - DEMAND CAREERS. THAT PROGRAM

47:57 - IS NEW AS WELL. SO I WANTED

48:01 - TO SPECIFICALLY ASK

48:02 - ABOUT THE C IP COACHES, THE

48:03 - CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL

48:07 - PROGRAMS. FROM YOUR POINT OF

48:08 - VIEW, ARE THEIR ADJUSTMENTS.

48:09 - I MEAN, I'M FORTUNATE TO SERVE

48:11 - ON THE FIA BOARD. EVERYBODY

48:15 - IS LEARNING. ARE THERE SOME

48:16 - ADJUSTMENTS ARE TWEAKS THAT WE

48:18 - MAY BE ABLE TO MAKING THIS

48:18 - PROGRAM MOVING FORWARD IS IT

48:21 - REALLY SEEMS TO HELP FAMILIES.

48:21 - I APPLAUD THE PROGRAM.

48:22 - I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL. IT'S

48:25 - EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. BUT START

48:26 - IF I MAY HAVE ONE MINUTE TO

48:30 - EXPLAIN THIS. THE CIP WHICH IS

48:31 - VERY HELPFUL TO MARK WHEN A

48:32 - STUDENT, THESE 6 DIGITS.

48:35 - THE FIRST 2 ARE NO MAJOR

48:37 - DAMAGE. THE SECOND TO OUR INTO

48:38 - MEDIA, THE LAST 2 ARE THE

48:41 - SPECIFIC PROGRAM YOU'RE GOING

48:42 - TO. WE DISCOVERED THAT BY THE

48:45 - WAY, WE CODE THE CIP FOR SOME

48:48 - OF OUR STUDENTS THAT THEY WERE

48:49 - NOT GETTING THE MONEY THAT THEY

48:50 - ACT 2 IN THE THEME AGE OF

48:52 - LEVEL. ONCE THEY GET TO THE

48:53 - MAJORS, IT'S NO PROBLEM BECAUSE

48:54 - IT'S VERY CLEAR WHAT THEIR

48:57 - STUDY, THE TEENAGER. SO WE ARE

48:58 - ADJUSTING THINGS INTERNALLY AT

49:00 - AND STATE AS I'M SURE MY

49:03 - COLLEAGUES ARE ONE ASK THE FIA

49:05 - HIS TO ALSO HELP US BECAUSE

49:07 - SOME THINGS AS WITH ANY SYSTEM,

49:07 - IT'S NOT PERFECT. I WILL TELL

49:12 - YOU THAT 14 IS THE CIP FOR

49:13 - ENGINEERING. SO IF IT'S 14

49:16 - POINT ALL THAT CALL ENGINEERING

49:18 - GENERAL, THAT IS APPROVED BY

49:19 - FIA. BUT IF IT'S ONE POINT 0,

49:22 - ONE IS AGRICULTURE, THAT IS

49:26 - NOT APPROVED. SO WE NEED THE

49:27 - FORUM ON OUR SIDE TO MAKE SURE

49:28 - WE HAD COATING IT

49:29 - APPROPRIATELY. BUT WE ALSO NEED

49:33 - HELP FROM FIA TO CHANGE THOSE

49:34 - WHEN WE HAVE GOT TO WORK

49:38 - TOGETHER AND THAT'S GREAT.

49:39 - IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. I FULLY

49:40 - SUPPORT THAT. I SEE MY RED

49:41 - LIGHTS ON. SO THANKS. I LOOK

49:41 - FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EACH OF

49:42 - YOU IN THAT AREA. THANK YOU.

49:43 - MISTER CHAIR.

49:46 - THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

49:52 - REPRESENTATIVE JAN, GOOD

49:52 - MORNING, EVERYBODY. ADMITTEDLY,

49:56 - THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE

49:56 - HEARINGS SIMPLY BECAUSE I'M

50:00 - JUST A MOM WHO HAPPENS TO BE

50:00 - AND NOW A LEGISLATOR. BUT MY

50:01 - WORK STARTED OUT AS A MOM OF

50:03 - CASH THAT MOM.

50:03 - BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO MEET

50:06 - A MOM WHO SAID THEY DID NOT

50:06 - WANT THE BEST FOR THE CHILDREN.

50:11 - AND NOW THAT BOTH MY CHILDREN

50:14 - ARE COLLEGE AGE AND ONE IS

50:15 - ATTENDING UNIVERSITIES UP AND

50:17 - NOW IT'S AM.

50:18 - IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE

50:20 - THAT WE'RE CREATING SPACES THAT

50:22 - THE FAMILIES CAN FEEL

50:24 - COMFORTABLE AND KNOWING THAT

50:25 - WHEN WE SENDING OUR CHILDREN

50:27 - OUT OF THE HOUSEHOLDS THAT

50:28 - THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING INTO A

50:30 - COMMUNITY OF SAFETY. SO LEADING

50:31 - WITH THAT QUESTION AND WITH

50:36 - THAT RISE OF SO MANY CONCERNS

50:38 - AROUND STUDENT SAFETY ON

50:39 - CAMPUSES. CAN YOU TELL US SOME

50:41 - OF THE EFFORT SHOULD DOING TOO

50:42 - ENSURE THAT THE STUDENTS ARE

50:45 - SAFE WHEN YOU'RE CAMPUSES.

50:48 - WELL, LET ME START WITH THE

50:51 - MOST FUNDAMENTAL, WHICH IS

50:53 - PUBLIC SAFETY. WE EXIST IN A

50:54 - PART OF OF PHILADELPHIA, NORTH

50:55 - PHILADELPHIA, WHICH IS HIGH

50:59 - KRON. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS

51:00 - THAT WE DID A NUMBER OF YEARS

51:02 - AGO WAS HIRE OF FORMER POLICE

51:03 - COMMISSIONER CHARLES RAMSEY TO

51:06 - DO A FULL AUDIT OF TEMPLE

51:08 - UNIVERSITY'S PUBLIC SAFETY

51:09 - PRACTICES. HE CAME BACK TO 77

51:13 - RECOMMENDATIONS.

51:13 - WE'VE IMPLEMENTED ABOUT.

51:14 - 981% OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS

51:14 - WILL HAVE THE REST ON THIS

51:17 - YEAR.

51:18 - PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT

51:20 - RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS

51:21 - SUFFERED IN PART BECAUSE I

51:23 - THINK OF SOME BUDGET CONCERNS

51:26 - WAS, YOU KNOW, APPROPRIATE

51:27 - STAFFING THE DIVISION OF PUBLIC

51:30 - SAFETY. AND SO I WHEN I ARRIVED

51:33 - LAST YEAR, I HAVE THAT

51:35 - STUDY COMPLETED. WE'VE NOW

51:35 - INITIATED EFFORTS TO HIRE OF

51:38 - 29 PATROL OFFICERS AND ABOUT

51:41 - 8 OTHER SUPERVISORY OFFICERS

51:43 - FROM UP CAPTAIN SIR SERGEANTS

51:44 - TO DETECTIVES. IT'LL TAKE US A

51:45 - NUMBER OF YEARS BECAUSE IT'S

51:49 - REALLY HARD TO RECRUIT AND

51:50 - RETAIN POLICE RIGHT NOW, BUT

51:50 - ARE ON THE STREET WITH ALL

51:53 - SORTS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND THEN

51:55 - REALLY COMMISSIONER KEVIN

51:56 - BETHEL, OUR POLICE COMMISSIONER

51:58 - OF PHILADELPHIA ON THE STRENGTH

52:02 - OF THAT IS ADDING 7 FULL-TIME

52:03 - PEOPLE TO THE TEMPLE CAMPUS.

52:04 - AND BASICALLY EMBEDDING THEM ON

52:08 - OUR CAMPUS. SO WE'RE GOING TO

52:08 - BE UP 40% IN TERMS OF POLICING.

52:11 - AND THAT'S BEFORE WE EVEN TALK

52:13 - ABOUT, YOU KNOW, SECURITY

52:13 - TECHNOLOGY AND ALL THE OTHER

52:14 - INVESTMENTS WE'RE MAKING IN

52:17 - TRAINING FOR STUDENTS. BUT BUT

52:18 - THE THING I JUST WANT TO SAY TO

52:20 - WAS THAT TO ME THE MOST

52:22 - IMPORTANT THING OTHER THAN

52:23 - STRONG PUBLIC SAFETY POLICE

52:25 - AND SECURITY IS TO MAKING SURE

52:28 - THAT OUR STREETS ARE ACTIVE

52:29 - AND ENGAGED AND FULL OF PEOPLE

52:32 - IN THE WAY YOU DO THAT AS YOU

52:33 - DEVELOP. SO WE'RE ALSO ON A

52:34 - SIGNIFICANT, AS I POINTED UP

52:37 - FOR IN A PREVIOUS QUESTION,

52:38 - THIS INNOVATION CORRIDOR IS NOT

52:40 - JUST ABOUT PROGRESS IN SCIENCE

52:41 - AND TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMIC

52:44 - DEVELOPMENT. IT'S ABOUT MAKING

52:47 - THESE CARTER SAFE AND IN

52:49 - MANY CASES WHEN THERE ARE

52:50 - STORES ARE VACANT AND WHEN

52:50 - THERE'S NOT ENOUGH RESIDENCES

52:53 - AND THINGS OF

52:54 - THAT NATURE, THE STREETS ARE

52:55 - ARE ARE DAUNTING AT NIGHT.

52:58 - AND THAT'S WHERE WE SEE A FAIR

52:59 - AMOUNT OF THE CRIME. AND SO

53:00 - WE'RE WORKING NOT ONLY ON

53:01 - SAFETY, THE TRADITIONAL WAY,

53:02 - BUT IMPROVING THE PUBLIC AND

53:04 - COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT AS WELL.

53:05 - THOSE THINGS TOGETHER BASED

53:07 - ON MY EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY

53:08 - IN WEST PHILADELPHIA, SHOULD

53:10 - YIELD SOME RESULTS NOT

53:13 - TOMORROW, BUT OVER TIME.

53:14 - THANK YOU. SO I WOULD LIKE TO

53:17 - ANSWER BECAUSE EVEN IN THE

53:18 - RULE, YOU KNOW, OUT OF THE WAY,

53:22 - PLACES LIKE UNIVERSITY, WE WERE

53:23 - UNFORTUNATELY VISITED BY THE

53:23 - GUN VIOLENCE. THAT IS JUST SO.

53:26 - AND THEN BEGIN OUR SOCIETY

53:28 - TODAY. AND IT'S A WAKE-UP CALL

53:31 - THAT EVEN IF YOU'RE, YOU KNOW,

53:33 - YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN IN A

53:34 - CITY FOR GUN VIOLENCE TO

53:37 - ACTUALLY BUSY YOUR CAMPUS.

53:39 - AND SO I CAN SAY THAT OVER THE

53:40 - 9 YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN AT

53:41 - LINCOLN, WE'VE DONE A LOT TO

53:45 - IMPROVE SECURITY SAFETY ON

53:48 - CAMPUS SIMPLY BECAUSE, YOU

53:48 - KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO BE

53:51 - MINDFUL OF THAT. AND AFTER THE

53:52 - TRAGIC EVENTS THAT HAPPENED AT

53:55 - MY HOME COMING. WE'VE GONE THE

53:58 - FOR THE THING. THAT'S MOST

53:58 - IMPORTANT ABOUT THE

54:01 - IMPLEMENTATION OF SOME NEW

54:02 - CHANGES THAT THAT THAT EVENT IS

54:03 - THAT WE NOW HAVE A REALLY GREAT

54:06 - STRONG PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN MY

54:10 - CAMPUS POLICE STATE POLICE

54:12 - EMT'S IN THE AREA AND FIRED.

54:14 - SO FOR ONCE WE'VE ALL COME TO

54:15 - THE TABLE AT THE SAME TIME AND

54:18 - WORK OUT OF A COLLABORATIVE

54:21 - PARTNER PLAN.

54:22 - SO THAT WE HAD ESPECIALLY LARGE

54:23 - EVENTS ON OUR CAMPUS. WE CAN

54:25 - COUNT ON NOT JUST THE RESOURCES

54:26 - THAT THE UNIVERSITY CAN

54:28 - PROVIDE, BUT THE RESOURCES THAT

54:31 - ALSO A LOT OF THE STATE COUNTY

54:35 - AND TOWNSHIP RESOURCES SO WE

54:38 - WE ARE.

54:42 - RYAN THAT THAT PLAN HELPS US

54:44 - TO AT LEAST BRING BACK THE

54:44 - SEMBLANCE OF SAFETY THAT WE

54:47 - HAVE FELT FOR SO MANY FOR OVER

54:47 - A CENTURY, A CELL ON OUR

54:50 - CAMPUS.

54:53 - I'M GONNA LET YOU OTHER 2

54:54 - THAT YOU CAN E-MAIL ME. THOSE

54:54 - ANSWERS. I JUST HAVE ONE MORE

54:55 - REALLY QUICK. ONE MORE

54:58 - QUESTION.

55:00 - 30 SECONDS, 30 SECONDS, 30

55:02 - SECONDS OR SO WITH THE FEDERAL

55:04 - CHALLENGES CONTINUING ALL USE

55:05 - TRIES IN CREATING A STRONG

55:06 - CLASSROOMS TO CAREER PIPELINE

55:10 - FOR STUDENTS. HOW HAVE THE

55:11 - FEDERAL CHARGES IMPACTED THE

55:13 - PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES?

55:16 - THAT'S FAR.

55:20 - ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN E-MAIL ME

55:22 - THOSE QUESTIONS. I'M HAPPY TO

55:24 - ANSWER. SO I MAKE SURE I

55:24 - UNDERSTAND THAT IN WHICH YOU

55:28 - MEAN ACADEMIC PROGRAMS OR

55:29 - SAFETY PROGRAMS, WHICHEVER

55:30 - PROGRAMS YOU ARE, WHICH ARE

55:33 - GREATLY IMPACTED BY THE CUTS

55:34 - OR THE CHALLENGES FROM THE

55:37 - FEDERAL LEVEL. THE BIGGEST

55:38 - IMPACT THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED 7

55:38 - HIT WAS THE UNCERTAINTY AROUND

55:40 - FEDERAL FUNDING FOR RESEARCH,

55:44 - WHICH WAS A ROLLER COASTER OF A

55:47 - CHANGE IN ADVOCACY WHERE WE

55:49 - STAND TODAY IS FLAT AND FEDERAL

55:53 - FUNDING FOR RESEARCH.

55:56 - WHICH IS FRANKLY BETTER THAN WE

55:57 - THOUGHT WE WOULD BE AT THAT.

55:58 - WHEN I SAID BEFORE YOU THIS

56:01 - TIME LAST YEAR, BUT REFLECTS

56:04 - THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL

56:05 - YEARS, WE'VE HAD PRETTY

56:05 - SIGNIFICANT INCREASES YEAR OVER

56:08 - YEAR

56:10 - AS THE QUALITY AND AND FOCUS

56:11 - OF OUR RESEARCHERS GETS BETTER

56:14 - YEAR OVER YEAR. KEEPING IN MIND

56:15 - THAT THIS RESEARCH IS ON HEALTH

56:19 - CARE AND AND YOU CARING CANCER

56:22 - AND RESOLVING DIABETES AND

56:24 - LAST WHICH THIS BODY LINE ITEMS

56:26 - FUNDED TO OUR GREAT

56:28 - APPRECIATION THAT IS THE

56:31 - BIGGEST DIRECT IMPACT. AND SO

56:31 - WE APPRECIATE SHARED ADVOCACY

56:32 - FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT

56:34 - SUPPORT.

56:36 - THANK THE GENTLE LADY

56:38 - REPRESENTATIVE ALL SUMMER.

56:40 - THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK

56:41 - YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

56:47 - I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK A

56:47 - LITTLE BIT OR HEAR WHAT YOU

56:48 - HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WORKFORCE

56:51 - DEVELOPMENT.

56:53 - CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON

56:55 - WHAT YOUR UNIVERSITIES ARE

56:59 - DOING TO MAKE SURE THE

57:00 - EDUCATION PROGRAMS YOU ARE

57:00 - OFFERING ARE MEETING THE NEEDS

57:03 - OF EMPLOYERS, BOTH IN OUR LOCAL

57:04 - COMMUNITIES AND THROUGHOUT THE

57:07 - COMMONWEALTH.

57:11 - SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING

57:11 - WITH RESPECT TO THE ENHANCEMENT

57:14 - OF AI.

57:18 - WHY US TO QUESTION THAT?

57:19 - WOULD YOU KNOW THAT IT'S ON A

57:21 - LOT OF POINTS THAT WE ALL

57:22 - WRESTLING WITH AND I TRULY

57:24 - COMMITTED TO.

57:25 - WHAT FORCE DEVELOPMENT IS PART

57:28 - AND PARCEL OF WHAT WE DO AND WE

57:30 - HAVE TO EMBRACE THAT. WE DO

57:33 - MORE THAN THAT. THE EDUCATE

57:34 - CITIZENS FOR DEMOCRACY. WE WE

57:35 - CONTRIBUTE IN SO MANY WAYS.

57:36 - BUT THAT'S CENTRAL TO WHAT WE

57:39 - DO.

57:42 - WE HAVE COMPLETED A 44 YARDER

57:43 - VIEW. WE CALL IT OUR ACADEMIC

57:44 - PROGRAM AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW.

57:47 - PRETTY HOLISTIC. LOOK AT

57:47 - EVERYTHING PENN STATE DOES

57:50 - EVERY SINGLE COURSE EVERY

57:51 - SINGLE PROGRAM AND WE HAVE

57:52 - WORKING ON HOW DO WE ASSESS AND

57:54 - PART OF THAT WAS ALSO GETTING

57:57 - DATA ON WHAT THE NEEDS, NOT

58:00 - JUST OF THE COMMUNITY BUT OF

58:01 - PENNSYLVANIA AND THE NATION

58:02 - AND HOW WATER BE ALIGNING IT.

58:02 - I THINK THAT'S GOOD PRACTICE.

58:04 - WE OUGHT TO DO THAT. WE DID IT

58:05 - ON OUR OWN AND WE INTEND TO

58:08 - CONTINUE THAT. A SECOND THING

58:08 - THAT WE HAVE REALLY FOCUSED

58:09 - ON IS HOW DO WE MAKE SURE EVERY

58:12 - SINGLE STUDENT GETS EXPEDIENCE

58:14 - IS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM, SIR,

58:16 - BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT

58:17 - PREPARATION FOR THE WORKFORCE,

58:17 - IT'S NOT JUST YOUR GRADES THAT

58:21 - YOU GET IN THE CLASSROOM.

58:22 - THEY HAVE AN INTERNSHIP THAT

58:24 - THEY HAVE AN UNDERGRADUATE

58:25 - RESEARCH. EXPEDIENCE. THOSE

58:27 - FACTORS SET OUR STUDENTS APART.

58:28 - SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE

58:31 - VERY FOCUSED ON RIGHT NOW IS

58:34 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH THOSE SPIES

58:35 - GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS,

58:36 - LOW-INCOME COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO

58:39 - MIGHT NOT KNOW OR MIGHT NOT

58:41 - HAVE THE RESOURCES TO TAKE

58:42 - UNPAID INTERNSHIPS AS AN

58:43 - EXAMPLE THAT LOOK GOOD ON THEIR

58:46 - RESUME. SO WE REALLY LASER

58:47 - FOCUSED ON EXPANDING

58:47 - OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE 88,000

58:49 - STUDENTS. WE SERVE. ONE LAST

58:52 - THING I HAVE TO PUT IN A PLUG

58:53 - PART OF OUR PORTFOLIO. I'M VERY

58:54 - PROUD IS THE PENNSYLVANIA

58:57 - COLLEGE

58:58 - OF TECHNOLOGY. SO WHEN WE THINK

59:00 - ABOUT WORKFORCE READINESS,

59:01 - THAT'S A MODEL. BUT IT'S

59:02 - ACTUALLY A HAPPY COUPLE.

59:05 - AND LASTLY, I WOULD SAY I'M

59:06 - VERY PROUD OF OUR COLLEGE OF

59:08 - LIBERAL ARTS. SO WHEN YOU THINK

59:09 - ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID IN US, IT'S

59:09 - NOT JUST THE ENGINEERING AND

59:11 - THE MAYOR SAYING IT IS THE ARTS

59:15 - AND THE HUMANITIES WE NEED TO

59:15 - SAY IT'S OUR JOB TO SO THIS

59:18 - SHOW THE STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS

59:21 - HOW IT WORKS IN TANDEM TO

59:24 - TRANSLATE WHAT YOU LEARN INTO

59:24 - THE SKILLS THAT PEOPLE ARE

59:26 - LOOKING FOR IN THE WORKFORCE.

59:28 - I WE'VE LAUNCHED A BIG

59:33 - INITIATIVE IN EVERYTHING

59:34 - FROM TEACHING TO RESEARCH AND

59:36 - EQUALLY IMPORTANTLY, WHAT

59:37 - ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS WE CAN

59:38 - CUT COSTS AND BE MORE EFFICIENT

59:43 - TO AI. WE HAVE A WHOLE PROGRAM

59:43 - AND I'M HAPPY TO SEND THAT TO

59:46 - YOU.

59:48 - THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND GO

59:52 - AND WE LOVE THAT ONE.

59:53 - SO WE HAVE IS A KEY METRIC IN

59:54 - OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH MANY

59:58 - OF YOU PROVIDED INPUT ON THAT.

59:59 - WE'RE LOOKING AT THE STATISTICS

59:59 - 242 OF THE HIGHEST WORKFORCE NEED

01:00 - 03.843 AREAS AND AND SUPPORTING

01:00 - 05.744 PROGRAMS AND GRADUATING

01:00 - 07.413 STUDENTS INTO THOSE AREAS AND

01:00 - 08.081 THERE'S A DIRECT CORRELATION

01:00 - 11.116 BETWEEN THAT ARE VERY HIGH

01:00 - 13.285 PLACEMENT RATE AT IM NOT

01:00 - 15.220 CONSISTENTLY IN THE HIGH 90'S

01:00 - 16.055 AND IT'S ALSO CONTRIBUTING

01:00 - 16.690 FACTOR TO HOW MANY OF OUR

01:00 - 19.258 STUDENTS STAY IN THE

01:00 - 20.093 COMMONWEALTH, WHICH IS WE'RE

01:00 - 24.229 GOOD NET IMPORTER OF TALENT

01:00 - 24.998 INTO THE COMMONWEALTH. SO THAT

01:00 - 27.232 CHUGS ALONG VERY STRONGLY.

01:00 - 28.034 AND THAT'S WHY YOU SAW SUCH

01:00 - 29.702 UNIFIED ADVOCACY IN THAT

01:00 - 30.437 PERFORMANCE BASED FUNDING MODEL

01:00 - 34.707 AROUND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

01:00 - 36.575 AND WORKFORCE DEMAND I

01:00 - 37.610 SPECIFICALLY WE WE HAVE A GROUP

01:00 - 38.578 WORKING ON THIS. I FORGET WHAT

01:00 - 40.012 THE ACRONYM STANDS FOR. BUT OF

01:00 - 40.714 COURSE THEY MADE IT SPELL HAIL

01:00 - 44.717 WHICH IT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT

01:00 - 46.485 WE LIKE TO USE A LOT THAT LOOKS

01:00 - 47.219 AT THE GENERAL EDUCATION SO

01:00 - 47.854 THAT REGARDLESS OF AREA OF

01:00 - 51.357 STUDY, YOU HAVE A COMPETENCY IN

01:00 - 52.925 THIS SPACE. THE OTHER ACADEMIC

01:00 - 53.492 PROGRAMS THAT ARE VERY

01:00 - 54.194 OBVIOUSLY TITAN, LIKE COMPUTER

01:00 - 55.195 SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, BUT

01:00 - 58.297 ALSO BUSINESS AND HEALTH CARE

01:00 - 59.932 ACROSS THE BOARD. WE'VE PUT A

01:00 - 00.600 REAL PAIN IN THE MAP ON THE

01:01 - 03.836 INTERSECTION OF HEALTH. AN AI

01:01 - 06.605 HAS PIT AND WE ALSO HAVE PITCH

01:01 - 07.240 UP TEA WITH LOTS OF CYBER

01:01 - 08.607 SECURITY FIREWALLS TO CREATE

01:01 - 11.510 LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL ON CAMPUS.

01:01 - 12.711 AND THEN LASTLY, WE'VE LAUNCHED

01:01 - 14.613 SOMETHING CALLED DIGITAL

01:01 - 15.748 FUTURES, WHICH IS TO TAKE ALL

01:01 - 16.583 OF THIS, KNOW HOW THAT WE'RE

01:01 - 18.651 DEVELOPING INTO THE COMMUNITY

01:01 - 21.553 ENGAGEMENT CENTERS THAT WE HAVE

01:01 - 22.288 AND SPECIFICALLY INTO K THROUGH

01:01 - 24.423 12.

01:01 - 25.524 1, ONE LAST QUESTION. WHAT

01:01 - 26.525 NEW PROGRAMS OR MAJORS HAVE YOU

01:01 - 29.695 DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST YEAR

01:01 - 31.063 TO MEET THE WORKFORCE?

01:01 - 35.234 IN THE END INVOLVING AI AND

01:01 - 35.669 THAT AS WELL.

01:01 - 37.369 SO OUR MAIN EFFORT IN THAT

01:01 - 38.104 SPACE IS UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF

01:01 - 42.107 PITT EDGE. THIS IS A WHOLE NEW

01:01 - 43.076 PROGRAM FOR US, TOO. SERVE AS

01:01 - 44.977 AN UMBRELLA UNDER WHICH AND

01:01 - 45.712 THE MOST COMPLETE LAUNCH THERE.

01:01 - 49.214 WE'VE ADDED SOME OF OUR NURSING

01:01 - 49.949 DEGREES AND OTHER ALLIED HEALTH

01:01 - 52.284 AREAS. BUT WE'VE LAUNCHED THE

01:01 - 54.086 HEALTH INFORMATICS DEGREE,

01:01 - 56.388 WHICH ISN'T 100% ONLINE DEGREE

01:01 - 59.858 AND INCLUDES ALL OF I COMPANIES

01:01 - 00.459 JUST AS ONE EXAMPLE, OK?

01:02 - 01.093 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN,

01:02 - 01.861 THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK THE

01:02 - 04.930 GENTLEMAN. REPRESENTATIVE

01:02 - 21.414 ONE OF OUR FIRST APPROPRIATIONS

01:02 - 23.982 HEARINGS WAS WITH THE

01:02 - 25.150 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

01:02 - 00.587 IN THAT RESPONSE WITH THE

01:03 - 03.822 OTHERS.

01:03 - 04.523 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT

01:03 - 05.225 QUESTION. AND AGAIN, I WANT TO

01:03 - 09.194 BEGIN BY ACKNOWLEDGING HOW

01:03 - 09.928 DIFFICULT IT HAS BEEN ON OUR

01:03 - 10.597 FARMERS. THAT'S THAT'S JUST

01:03 - 13.198 BEING TRULY DEVASTATING.

01:03 - 14.000 THE WORST IN A FEW DECADES,

01:03 - 17.970 PENN STATE IS INVOLVED IN EVERY

01:03 - 18.971 STEP AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, WE

01:03 - 20.439 HAVE THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS

01:03 - 24.309 FOR THIS. SO WHETHER IT'S THE

01:03 - 55.808 DEVASTATING. SO WE APPRECIATE

01:03 - 59.011 OUR FARMERS AND I THINK WE'RE

01:03 - 01.980 DOING THE BEST WE CAN

01:04 - 03.048 TO HELP FARMERS RECOVER AND TO

01:04 - 03.783 BE ABLE TO REBUILD THEIR FLOCKS

01:04 - 09.087 AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE

01:04 - 10.622 WE HAVE A A MARKET HERE IN THE

01:04 - 11.657 COMMONWEALTH AND WE CONTINUE TO

01:04 - 15.127 REMAIN A LEADER IN SOME SECTORS

01:04 - 19.932 MY SECOND QUESTION IS AROUND

01:04 - 21.567 COLLEGE ATHLETICS AND JUST FOR,

01:04 - 23.535 YOU KNOW, 3 OF YOU COMPETE AT

01:04 - 25.070 THE DIVISION. ONE LEVEL HIGH

01:04 - 26.538 LEVEL, MAJOR, MAJOR COLLEGE

01:04 - 29.641 ATHLETICS. I'M WONDERING FOR

01:04 - 31.944 EACH OF YOU.

01:04 - 33.245 HOW HAVE YOU HANDLED ALL OF THE

01:04 - 36.348 CHANGES THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE

01:04 - 37.050 COLLEGE ATHLETICS LANDSCAPE

01:04 - 40.419 WITH WITH NAME IMAGE AND

01:04 - 41.054 LIKENESS TRANSFER PORTAL.

01:04 - 44.590 I KNOW PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST

01:04 - 45.858 SORT OF HAD A SUMMIT WITH ABOUT

01:04 - 47.326 40 ODD PEOPLE TO IT WAS MOSTLY

01:04 - 51.029 CONFINED TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

01:04 - 52.097 BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT HOW

01:04 - 53.131 YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S IT'S A

01:04 - 56.101 MAJOR ECONOMIC DRIVER FOR A

01:04 - 58.237 LOT OF THE REGION. SO HOW ARE

01:04 - 58.838 YOU HANDLING ALL OF THAT

01:04 - 02.374 LANDSCAPE AND THOSE CHANGES

01:05 - 04.009 AS WELL?

01:05 - 04.711 I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S BEEN A

01:05 - 06.678 VERY CHALLENGING ISSUE FOR ALL

01:05 - 07.679 OF US. IT'S CHANGING EVERY

01:05 - 09.147 SINGLE DAY. BUT ONE OF THE

01:05 - 12.251 THINGS I'M PROUD OF FAT AND

01:05 - 13.119 STATE IS THAT WE TRULY ARE ONE

01:05 - 15.854 OF LESS THAN A HANDFUL OF

01:05 - 17.122 PROGRAMS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY

01:05 - 18.123 WITH ATLANTIC SAYS

01:05 - 18.957 SELF-SUSTAINING. NO ONE ELSE

01:05 - 19.692 CAN CLAIM THAT. AND SADLY, EVEN

01:05 - 22.394 WITHIN THE STATE, I CAN TELL

01:05 - 26.398 YOU THAT IN TERMS SOFT FOR US

01:05 - 28.200 FOR ATHLETICS. NOT ONE DOLLAR

01:05 - 28.935 YOU GIVE US, BUT APPROPRIATIONS

01:05 - 31.403 ARE FROM THE UNIVERSITY GOES

01:05 - 34.406 TO ATHLETICS. NOT ONE DOLLAR OF

01:05 - 37.542 OUR STUDENT TUITION CLOSE TO A

01:05 - 38.610 PLACE, SOMETHING THAT'S

01:05 - 40.712 TRULY UNIQUE. HE HAS NO STUDENT

01:05 - 43.448 FEE FOR ATHLETICS. I'M NOT YOU

01:05 - 44.783 KNOW, WE WE DON'T WE DON'T

01:05 - 45.385 SUBSIDIZED ATHLETICS. MY

01:05 - 47.586 FEELING IS IF UNLESS WE GET

01:05 - 48.687 CONTROL OVER THIS, IF THAT

01:05 - 51.590 CHANGES, I COME IN PROUDLY ASK

01:05 - 52.292 YOU FOR APPROPRIATIONS BECAUSE

01:05 - 54.559 I CAN GUARANTEE YOU WE DON'T

01:05 - 56.795 EVEN HAVE STUDENT FEES FOR

01:05 - 57.396 ATHLETICS. AND WE DON'T

01:05 - 58.064 SUBSIDIZE THAT. SO THAT IS A

01:05 - 00.365 CONCERN. A GROWING CONCERN FOR

01:06 - 02.401 US.

01:06 - 03.769 I YOU KNOW, MAYBE A LITTLE

01:06 - 04.437 BIT COUNTERINTUITIVE, BUT I

01:06 - 07.773 THINK WE HAVE TO CIRCLE BACK

01:06 - 08.474 TO BASICS AND MAKE SURE FIRST

01:06 - 10.976 AND FOREMOST TO OUR STUDENT

01:06 - 11.944 ATHLETES ARE

01:06 - 12.612 STUDENTS FIRST THAT THEY'RE

01:06 - 14.112 GRADUATING, THAT THEY HAVE AN

01:06 - 14.781 OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY ABROAD

01:06 - 17.215 THAT THERE ARE OF THE BEFORE

01:06 - 20.118 WORK OPPORTUNITIES. AND SO I'VE

01:06 - 20.786 TRIED TO RESET OUR ATHLETICS

01:06 - 21.354 DEPARTMENT AROUND THAT

01:06 - 23.221 PRINCIPLE. AND THEN EVERYTHING

01:06 - 23.890 ELSE FLOWS FROM THERE AND TO

01:06 - 25.590 YOUR QUESTION, I THINK NEARLY

01:06 - 26.159 CAPTURED IT. IT'S VERY

01:06 - 29.995 CONFUSING. IT'S CHANGING ITS.

01:06 - 32.497 UNBELIEVABLY EXPENSIVE AND FOR

01:06 - 33.166 TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, IT'S NOT

01:06 - 35.767 AFFORDABLE. SO WE'RE DOING OUR

01:06 - 36.235 BEST TO SORT OF.

01:06 - 38.337 HEADING INTO OUR CONFERENCE

01:06 - 42.174 AND DO. A REASONABLE AMOUNT

01:06 - 42.975 THAT WE CAN. WE CAN'T GO BEYOND

01:06 - 43.609 THAT. AND I WORRY DOWN THE

01:06 - 45.177 ROAD. WHAT THAT'S GOING MEAN

01:06 - 47.012 FOR OUR COMPETITIVENESS.

01:06 - 47.613 SO FOR INSTITUTIONS LIKE

01:06 - 48.714 TEMPLE, WHICH REPRESENT OF

01:06 - 50.248 UNDER-RESOURCED AND ATHLETICS.

01:06 - 50.883 IT'S A IT'S A REALLY TOUGH

01:06 - 53.986 TIME. ALL THE MORE REASON WHY

01:06 - 54.687 WE HAVE TO REMAIN TO THE CAUSE

01:06 - 55.754 OF MAKING SURE OUR STUDENT

01:06 - 59.524 ATHLETES HAVE A GREAT ACADEMIC

01:06 - 01.093 EXPERIENCE AS WELL. SURE.

01:07 - 03.996 OUT DOUBLE DOWN ON THAT.

01:07 - 05.297 WE HAVE THAT A STUDENT-CENTERED

01:07 - 05.965 PHILOSOPHY OF WHERE OUR 600

01:07 - 09.267 SOME ODD STUDENT ATHLETES TO

01:07 - 09.869 ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE AN

01:07 - 11.737 EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL

01:07 - 12.538 EXPERIENCE AND THAT WE ARE

01:07 - 16.074 COMPETITIVE. THAT IS PART OF

01:07 - 16.876 OUR EXCELLENCE TO. WE ALSO DO

01:07 - 18.810 NOT USE ANY OF OUR

01:07 - 19.945 APPROPRIATION TO SUPPORT THE

01:07 - 22.981 ENTERPRISE, BUT IT IS AS

01:07 - 27.152 PRESIDENT FREY DESCRIBED ONE

01:07 - 28.053 OF THE MOST DIZZYING

01:07 - 28.688 RAPIDLY CHANGING UNSETTLED

01:07 - 32.624 AREAS OF OF GROUND THAT WE ARE

01:07 - 34.459 COPING WITH. BUT I'VE ALWAYS

01:07 - 35.260 SAID AND VERY MUCH BELIEVE THAT

01:07 - 35.995 ATHLETICS IS THE FRONT PORCH OF

01:07 - 37.362 THE UNIVERSITY. IN MANY WAYS.

01:07 - 41.199 IT'S THE FIRST OF ENGAGEMENT.

01:07 - 43.135 IT'S HOW MANY OF OUR STAY

01:07 - 43.935 ENGAGED. IT'S HOW A LOT OF KIDS

01:07 - 44.604 REALIZE THAT THEY APPRECIATE

01:07 - 47.706 THE OPPORTUNITY THAT HIGHER

01:07 - 48.940 EDUCATION OFFERS THEM. AND WE

01:07 - 49.641 WANTED TO BE A VERY NICE FROM

01:07 - 50.309 PORCH. AND SO WE'RE WORKING

01:07 - 53.812 REALLY HARD TO FIGURE OUT HOW

01:07 - 54.713 TO GET THIS INTO A CONDITION

01:07 - 55.615 WHERE IT IS MANAGEABLE FOR ALL

01:07 - 57.616 OF US AND ALSO STILL

01:07 - 58.251 COMPETITIVE. AN EXCELLENT.

01:07 - 59.484 THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

01:07 - 02.554 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THANK

01:08 - 04.389 THE GENTLEMAN. REPRESENTATIVE

01:08 - 10.663 ARE IN ENTRY POINT TO HIGHER

01:08 - 12.998 EDUCATION FOR MANY

01:08 - 14.199 PENNSYLVANIANS. AND MANY

01:08 - 17.869 COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS OF

01:08 - 18.538 SUBS SUBSEQUENTLY ENROLL IN

01:08 - 21.106 FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS TO

01:08 - 22.007 COMPLETE THEIR DEGREES.

01:08 - 22.641 WE DISCUSSED THIS AT LAST

01:08 - 23.376 YEAR'S HEARING IN THE IDEA OF A

01:08 - 26.344 2. PLUS 2 PROGRAMS CAME UP.

01:08 - 26.946 WHICH ARE PROGRAMS WHERE

01:08 - 30.015 STUDENTS CAN GET A TWO-YEAR

01:08 - 30.982 ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE AT A

01:08 - 31.683 COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THEN BE

01:08 - 32.384 ADMITTED INTO A PROGRAM AT THE

01:08 - 32.952 UNIVERSITY TO FINISH A

01:08 - 35.220 FOUR-YEAR BACHELOR'S DEGREE.

01:08 - 37.956 DOES EACH OF YOUR UNIVERSITIES

01:08 - 38.658 HAVE AT LEAST ONE ARTICULATION

01:08 - 41.660 AGREEMENT WITH THIS WITH THE

01:08 - 43.261 COMMUNITY COLLEGE?

01:08 - 45.197 MULTIPLE. YES, WE DO. AND IN

01:08 - 47.599 FACT, LAST TIME I BELIEVE I

01:08 - 48.801 ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS WITH

01:08 - 50.335 EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

01:08 - 55.808 EVERYONE CAN USE. IT'S MULTIPLE

01:08 - 58.210 AGREEMENTS.

01:08 - 00.378 WITH AT LEAST A HALF-DOZEN.

01:09 - 28.206 AND FOREMOST.

01:09 - 28.875 THANK YOU FOR THE PANTHER

01:09 - 31.943 PAUL STREETS. I TYPICALLY DO

01:09 - 32.645 EAT THINGS LIKE THIS THAT'S A

01:09 - 33.912 PLAN FOR THE SUMMERTIME, BUT

01:09 - 35.847 I'll MAKE AN EXCEPTION TODAY.

01:09 - 36.681 I'M GOING TO SEE IF YOU CAN

01:09 - 37.316 GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF AN

01:09 - 39.417 UPDATE. YOU TOUCHED ON IT

01:09 - 40.119 BRIEFLY OPEN REMARKS ABOUT THE

01:09 - 42.420 PLAN FOR PICK 2020 ACRES.

01:09 - 43.121 GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INSIGHT

01:09 - 43.822 ON WHERE WE ARE AND THEY PLAN

01:09 - 44.490 TO KIND OF WHAT WE CAN LOOK

01:09 - 46.825 FORWARD TO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE

01:09 - 49.995 YEARS WITH IT.

01:09 - 50.529 YES, AT THANK YOU,

01:09 - 51.196 REPRESENTATIVE AND THANK YOU

01:09 - 51.864 FOR HONORING THE INSTITUTION

01:09 - 55.000 WITH CARBOHYDRATES. WE'RE VERY

01:09 - 58.003 GLAD TO TO SEE THAT COMMITMENT.

01:09 - 58.905 SO THE PLAN FOR PITT THAT

01:09 - 01.773 FOCUSES FIRST AND FOREMOST ON

01:10 - 02.575 STUDENTS AND THEIR SUCCESS ON

01:10 - 05.177 THE RESEARCH ENTERPRISE, WHICH

01:10 - 07.279 IS SUCH A CORNERSTONE FOR US

01:10 - 08.914 ON FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND

01:10 - 09.582 TRANSPARENCY IN PLACE WHERE

01:10 - 15.420 EVERYONE CAN SUCCEED. AND THEN

01:10 - 16.454 ALSO DOING APPROPRIATE CURATED

01:10 - 18.356 STRATEGIC RISK IN PLACES THAT

01:10 - 19.058 MAKE SENSE FOR AN INSTITUTION

01:10 - 20.825 LIKE OURS WHERE WE ARE AND

01:10 - 24.296 WHERE WE HAVE OUR STRENGTHS.

01:10 - 25.231 SO ON THE STUDENT

01:10 - 27.265 SUCCESS SIDE AS WE'VE I

01:10 - 28.433 TESTIFIED TO BEFORE WE'RE GOING

01:10 - 29.135 TO HAVE ANOTHER RECORD YEAR IN

01:10 - 32.103 TERMS OF APPLICATIONS IN DEMAND

01:10 - 33.371 FOR

01:10 - 35.273 THE INSTITUTION. WE WILL HAVE A

01:10 - 36.308 VERY STRONG SHOWING FROM THE

01:10 - 37.876 COMMONWEALTH, WHICH MAKES UP

01:10 - 38.411 MORE THAN 60% OF OUR

01:10 - 41.880 ENROLLMENT, BUT ALSO VERY

01:10 - 43.048 STRONG OUT OF AND WE HAVE

01:10 - 44.182 RECORD HIGH GRADUATION RATES

01:10 - 44.884 AND ALSO RECORD HIGH PLACEMENT

01:10 - 47.919 RATES. THOSE ARE ALL METRICS IN

01:10 - 50.021 THE STRATEGIC PLAN. WE HAVE

01:10 - 51.623 MAINTAINED OUR RESEARCH

01:10 - 52.291 ENTERPRISE AND EVEN IN SOME

01:10 - 54.359 VERY SPECIFIC AREAS AROUND

01:10 - 56.361 HEALTH SCIENCES, SEEN GROWTH,

01:10 - 57.063 ALL OF THAT RESEARCH NOT ONLY

01:10 - 00.865 LEAD TO TREATMENTS AND CURES,

01:11 - 02.601 WHICH CAN IMPACT EVERY SINGLE

01:11 - 05.737 PERCENT, BUT ALSO TO A VERY

01:11 - 06.671 HIGH AMOUNT OF

01:11 - 07.240 COMMERCIALIZATION AND

01:11 - 09.774 REINVESTMENT AND REDEPLOYMENT

01:11 - 10.409 THAT WAY AND STARTUPS AND

01:11 - 12.444 ENTERPRISES THAT AND CREATE

01:11 - 13.645 PROFESSIONAL AND ECONOMIC

01:11 - 14.312 DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

01:11 - 14.947 WE'VE BEEN YOUR PARTNER ON

01:11 - 18.116 FISCAL WE THINK WE'VE MADE A

01:11 - 18.851 LOT OF PROGRESS THERE. AND THEN

01:11 - 20.752 WE'VE MADE SOME VERY SPECIFIC

01:11 - 21.886 STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS LIKE THE

01:11 - 25.757 BIOFORGE INITIATIVE, WHICH

01:11 - 26.858 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE,

01:11 - 27.760 WHICH IS AN INCREDIBLE FACILITY

01:11 - 29.928 IN HAZELWOOD GREEN, AN AREA

01:11 - 31.663 THAT WAS SUFFERING WITH THE

01:11 - 35.433 DEPARTURE OF THE STEEL INDUSTRY

01:11 - 37.535 WHERE YOU'RE NOW SEEING IS

01:11 - 38.237 SPOKE. DEVELOPMENT AI-POWERED

01:11 - 42.140 OF PHARMACEUTICALS FOR RARE

01:11 - 42.807 DISEASES. SO YOU HAVE YOU PH

01:11 - 43.776 D'S AND DOCTORS DOING

01:11 - 45.644 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. YOU HAVE

01:11 - 47.512 WORKFORCE RUNNING THE

01:11 - 48.079 MANUFACTURING. WE HAVE

01:11 - 48.781 EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND

01:11 - 49.782 WE'RE PUTTING A COMMUNITY

01:11 - 52.684 ENGAGEMENT CENTER THERE.

01:11 - 54.653 SO SORT OF THAT REAL, YOU KNOW,

01:11 - 55.720 CHECK CHECK CHECK OF WHAT A

01:11 - 56.421 RESEARCH UNIVERSITY ENGAGED IN

01:11 - 57.156 ITS COMMUNITY CAN DO. AND THOSE

01:11 - 59.691 WERE ALL METRICS UNDER THE

01:11 - 00.992 STRATEGIC PLAN.

01:12 - 01.661 I'M FORTUNATE THE BIO FOR

01:12 - 02.761 CENTER IS IN HIS WHAT IS IN

01:12 - 03.462 MY DISTRICT. SOME THE PLEASURE

01:12 - 07.065 BEING ABLE TO REPRESENT THE

01:12 - 07.900 KIND OF BUT INTO MY NEXT

01:12 - 09.701 QUESTION AROUND BEING IT AND

01:12 - 11.936 ANCHOR ECONOMIC INSTITUTION

01:12 - 12.937 IN THE COMMONWEALTH. I KNOW WE

01:12 - 14.472 JUST PUT OUT A ECONOMIC IMPACT.

01:12 - 17.809 STUDY YOUR REPORT IN THE PAST

01:12 - 20.879 COUPLE YEARS THAT SAID THAT PIT

01:12 - 21.814 GENERATES ABOUT

01:12 - 23.048 6.6 BILLION DOLLARS IN ECONOMIC

01:12 - 25.016 IMPACT FOR THE COMMONWEALTH.

01:12 - 25.650 AND WHEN YOU ADD INTO THE

01:12 - 26.351 ALUMNI NETWORK, IT'S CLOSE TO

01:12 - 26.952 11 BILLION. I THINK YOU

01:12 - 28.320 MENTIONED TODAY WE TALK ABOUT

01:12 - 30.455 THE UNDERGRADS CLOSER TO

01:12 - 32.290 12 BILLION AND FOR ABOUT EVERY

01:12 - 34.326 DOLLAR THAT THE STATE PUTS INTO

01:12 - 36.294 PIT, WE GET A LITTLE OVER $43

01:12 - 36.961 BACK INTO THE STATE ECONOMY.

01:12 - 37.630 YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BUILDING IN

01:12 - 41.032 PENNSYLVANIA. YOU'RE BUYING

01:12 - 41.666 PURCHASING A PENNSYLVANIA.

01:12 - 42.301 YOU KNOW, YOU'RE HIRING A

01:12 - 43.335 PENNSYLVANIA. CAN YOU TALK A

01:12 - 43.969 LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE

01:12 - 46.071 ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT PITT HAS

01:12 - 48.106 ANNUALLY ON THE COMMONWEALTH?

01:12 - 50.041 YES, I MEAN, ALL OF THOSE

01:12 - 52.277 NUMBERS, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE VERY

01:12 - 54.079 PROUD OF AND HUMBLY RECOGNIZE

01:12 - 54.780 THAT THEY DON'T HAPPEN ON OUR

01:12 - 55.947 OWN, THAT IT'S ALSO PART OF THE

01:12 - 59.718 INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE HERE

01:12 - 00.385 TALKING TO ABOUT TODAY. BUT

01:13 - 01.287 THAT'S I THINK WHEN WE THINK

01:13 - 05.156 ABOUT WHAT UNIVERSITY DOES AND

01:13 - 05.825 ITS COMMUNITY, WE ALWAYS ARE

01:13 - 07.125 ANCHORED IN OUR STUDENTS AND

01:13 - 09.127 THEIR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

01:13 - 09.762 AND FOCUSING THEM TOWARDS

01:13 - 11.096 HIGH-DEMAND AREAS SO THAT THEY

01:13 - 12.931 HAVE FULL SOCIAL MOBILITY.

01:13 - 13.599 THEY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.

01:13 - 14.766 THEY LEARNED SOMETHING THEY

01:13 - 15.368 WOULDN'T OTHERWISE KNOW.

01:13 - 16.601 THEY GROW. THEY GET A JOB.

01:13 - 20.739 YOU KNOW WHERE WE WE DON'T LOSE

01:13 - 22.674 SIGHT OF THAT. BUT THERE'S SO

01:13 - 24.776 MANY LAYERS BEYOND THAT THAT

01:13 - 25.510 THOSE STUDENTS BRING THAT THEIR

01:13 - 26.178 FAMILIES BRING THE AND SEWER

01:13 - 29.214 GAME SPRING AT THE PATIENTS WHO

01:13 - 31.549 ARE HOSPITALS BRING AT THEIR

01:13 - 32.517 RESEARCH INVESTMENT THAT THE

01:13 - 33.251 FEDERAL DOLLARS WE WERE TALKING

01:13 - 33.986 ABOUT EARLIER CREATES EVERY ONE

01:13 - 36.187 OF THOSE DOLLARS COMES BACK IS

01:13 - 38.022 ALMOST $3 LOCALLY IN THE

01:13 - 38.657 COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY ARE

01:13 - 41.559 RECEIVED. AND SO WHEN WE'RE AT

01:13 - 43.928 OUR BEST SELF.

01:13 - 44.963 OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVICE IS

01:13 - 46.998 NOT JUST IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S

01:13 - 48.533 LIVES, BUT IT HAS REAL OUR

01:13 - 49.235 ALLY. AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF

01:13 - 51.669 THAT AND WANT TO CONTINUE TO

01:13 - 52.204 DELIVER IN THAT WAY.

01:13 - 54.839 THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.

01:13 - 57.642 CHAIRMAN, APPRECIATE IT.

01:14 - 05.483 FOR THE SUMMER, SIR.

01:14 - 06.051 REPRESENTATIVE FLOOD.

01:14 - 10.822 GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR

01:14 - 13.658 BEING HERE. I SOMETHING THAT

01:14 - 14.993 EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.

01:14 - 16.694 IT'S EVERYWHERE. IT CAN BE A

01:14 - 18.129 KNICK SAVING TOOL USED TO MAKE

01:14 - 18.831 OUR LIVES EASIER OR OR EASIER

01:14 - 21.132 OR THERE'S A POTENTIAL TO USE

01:14 - 21.834 IT FOR EVIL.

01:14 - 24.302 PEOPLE WORRY THAT IT'S GOING

01:14 - 26.337 TO REPLACE THEIR JOBS. I HEAR

01:14 - 29.407 IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHERE

01:14 - 31.109 THEY'RE WORRIED THAT THOSE WHO

01:14 - 31.811 WORK IN THE IT INDUSTRY IN THE

01:14 - 34.145 FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE

01:14 - 34.880 HEALTH SYSTEMS JUST TO NAME A

01:14 - 38.817 FEW THAT THEIR JOBS ARE GOING

01:14 - 39.417 TO BE REPLACED. SO IT'S

01:14 - 40.085 DEFINITELY IMPORTANT THAT WE

01:14 - 42.086 HAVE SOME PARAMETERS PLACED

01:14 - 44.456 AROUND AI TECH NILE TECHNOLOGY

01:14 - 47.926 AT SOME LEVEL. BUT WE DON'T

01:14 - 49.861 WANT TO QUELL THE POTENTIAL OF

01:14 - 51.529 HOW IT CAN IMPROVE OUR LIVES

01:14 - 55.166 AND THE AMAZING PLACES THAT WE

01:14 - 56.601 COULD POTENTIALLY GO AND THE

01:14 - 57.236 THINGS THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE

01:14 - 01.473 WHERE WE WERE ONLY ONCE ABLE TO

01:15 - 02.107 DREAM ABOUT BUT LET'S TALK

01:15 - 06.077 ABOUT IT AND HOW IT'S AFFECTING

01:15 - 07.078 YOUR UNIVERSITIES. SO WHAT KIND

01:15 - 10.982 OF AI RESEARCH IS HAPPENING

01:15 - 13.218 AT YOUR UNIVERSITIES AND DO

01:15 - 13.786 YOUR INSTITUTIONS HAD

01:15 - 15.320 UNIVERSITY-WIDE POLICIES ON THE

01:15 - 17.288 USE OF AI IN THE CLASSROOMS

01:15 - 18.123 OR IS THAT SOMETHING LEFT UP TO

01:15 - 19.958 INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS ARE

01:15 - 21.359 INSTRUCTORS AND IF WE COULD,

01:15 - 22.027 I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM ALL OF

01:15 - 24.562 YOU. BUT I WANT TO START WITH

01:15 - 28.566 LINCOLN.

01:15 - 28.934 THANK YOU.

01:15 - 31.202 WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD IN A

01:15 - 31.837 POLICY THAT WE'VE ALREADY

01:15 - 35.206 STARTED TO INTEGRATE IT INTO

01:15 - 36.508 A STUDENT JOURNEY. SO WE'RE

01:15 - 37.243 VERY GENEROUS PROGRAM WITH IBM.

01:15 - 39.878 ALL OF OUR FIRST YEAR.

01:15 - 41.613 STUDENTS.

01:15 - 44.682 HAVE TO COMPLETE A FIRST-LEVEL

01:15 - 45.351 COURSE ON A CERTIFICATION IN

01:15 - 48.486 TERMS OF EACH USE AND ONCE THEY

01:15 - 49.621 COMPLETE THAT COURSE, THEY HAD

01:15 - 52.490 THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON AND

01:15 - 53.125 TAKE SEVERAL LEVELS OF AI

01:15 - 54.526 CERTIFICATIONS WITH ABBY.

01:15 - 57.562 AND SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT

01:15 - 59.464 THAT. WE USE IT A LOT IN

01:15 - 02.267 ADMINISTRATIVE WORK. IN FACT, I

01:16 - 02.902 HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I JUST

01:16 - 07.739 LEARNED YESTERDAY HOW COOL CO

01:16 - 09.073 PILOT IS. AND NOW

01:16 - 09.775 I'M HOOKED. SO, YOU KNOW, IT

01:16 - 13.645 REALLY HELPS TO TO GET THROUGH

01:16 - 14.479 SOME OF THE IT HAS WE HAVE TO

01:16 - 15.147 DO IN THE CLASSROOM. IT CAN

01:16 - 18.616 BE A GREAT LEARNING TOOL.

01:16 - 19.285 AND SO WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF

01:16 - 22.120 LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT

01:16 - 23.187 LEAD TO BETTER INTEGRATE WHEN

01:16 - 24.956 IT WHEN WE FIRST HEARD MOST

01:16 - 27.091 PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT

01:16 - 28.092 MAKING SURE PEOPLE CAN USE TO

01:16 - 28.727 CHEAT. NOW WE'RE TRYING TO

01:16 - 31.229 UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN USE IT

01:16 - 32.363 TO ENHANCE LEARNING.

01:16 - 33.431 AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANT

01:16 - 34.400 TO SAY ABOUT THAT IS THAT I

01:16 - 37.201 THINK ABOUT AI IN THE SAME WAY

01:16 - 38.269 I DID.

01:16 - 38.937 WITH THE INTERNET, RIGHT?

01:16 - 39.605 WE PUT IN THAT WAS GOING TO

01:16 - 43.608 TAKE AWAY EVERY JOB THE LIBRARY

01:16 - 45.543 EVER HAD AN IMPACT. THE

01:16 - 46.578 INVENTION I ACTUALLY PUTS

01:16 - 47.246 PRESSURE ON UNIVERSITIES TO

01:16 - 48.580 FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NEXT

01:16 - 52.383 SKILLET WILL NEED TO BE.

01:16 - 55.420 HE'S A I YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST

01:16 - 56.387 SAY I TECHNOLOGY. AND SO HOW

01:16 - 57.356 CAN A UNIVERSITY PREPARE THE

01:16 - 59.857 WORKFORCE FOR THE NEXT LEVEL

01:16 - 00.626 WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ONCE

01:17 - 03.127 WE INTEGRATE AI, WHICH I THINK

01:17 - 03.796 IS MUCH MORE OF A A QUESTION

01:17 - 06.164 OF CURRICULUM AS OPPOSED TO A

01:17 - 06.865 THREAT TO WHAT WE DO. THANK

01:17 - 10.535 YOU. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE

01:17 - 12.270 ARE DOING IS MAKING SURE

01:17 - 16.207 STARTING IN 2026. EVERY SINGLE

01:17 - 18.610 STUDENT. IN EVERY SINGLE PLACE

01:17 - 19.345 HAS THAT EXPOSURE TO AI SO THAT

01:17 - 22.647 BY THE TIME THEY GRADUATE IN

01:17 - 23.781 4 YEARS, OTHER THAN A POINT OR

01:17 - 24.849 A PHILOSOPHER, IT DOESN'T

01:17 - 25.551 MATTER. THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND

01:17 - 27.685 THE BASICS OF AI. SO I'M VERY

01:17 - 29.721 PROUD OF THAT TO BE ABLE TO

01:17 - 31.889 DO IT AT THAT SCALE BECAUSE

01:17 - 34.292 MANY DEDICATED PROGRAMS AND

01:17 - 34.993 MAJORS. BUT THIS IS HOW DO WE

01:17 - 35.694 CATCH THE STUDENT WHO MAY NOT

01:17 - 37.595 KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO BE

01:17 - 39.430 EXPOSED TO IT?

01:17 - 40.065 I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH

01:17 - 43.067 PRESIDENT ALAN. THIS IS HERE

01:17 - 44.902 TO STAY. SO TO MEMBER OF NATO,

01:17 - 47.105 WHAT HE'D ABOUT TEACHING

01:17 - 49.507 STUDENT YOU AND ME HOW TO

01:17 - 50.141 WRITE. I AT THE TIME SAID

01:17 - 50.709 PEOPLE ARE HUMANS HAVE

01:17 - 52.944 LEARNING, RIGHT? THIS WAS THE

01:17 - 53.646 END OF THE WAR. SO EVERY TIME

01:17 - 56.848 NEW TECHNOLOGY COMES ALONG, WE

01:17 - 57.549 WORRY ABOUT IT. WHAT YOU ALSO

01:17 - 00.652 ASKED ABOUT RESEARCH, WE'RE

01:18 - 02.553 VERY PROUD OFF THE

01:18 - 03.255 PLACE THAT AND STATE HOLDS ITS

01:18 - 06.357 EVERY ANY OF OUR VISTA. IT'S

01:18 - 06.991 NOT JUST HEALTH GOOD, SIR.

01:18 - 07.693 LEARNING WITH THE STARS ON ITS

01:18 - 11.596 ENGINEERING, ITS NATIONAL

01:18 - 12.230 SECURITY. IT'S EVERYWHERE.

01:18 - 12.931 WE ARE FOCUSING ON ETHICAL USE

01:18 - 16.634 OF AI. WHAT ARE THE LIMITS OF

01:18 - 17.302 THE EYE AND WHY ENTRY LEVEL

01:18 - 20.104 JOBS ARE GOING AWAY? THAT'S

01:18 - 20.773 WHAT PEOPLE SAY. NO, THEY'LL

01:18 - 22.206 ALWAYS BE ENTRY LEVEL JOBS.

01:18 - 25.343 YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE.

01:18 - 27.879 THE EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT YOU DO

01:18 - 28.547 IN THOSE FIRST YEARS ARE TO

01:18 - 30.481 CHANGE ITS A NEW LAW. IT'S AN

01:18 - 33.317 ARCHITECT GIANTS EVERY FIELD.

01:18 - 34.919 SO WE'RE REALLY HOPING TO

01:18 - 35.621 DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT WE DO WITH

01:18 - 39.157 THE STUDENTS TO DEVELOP THEM AS

01:18 - 42.060 HUMAN BEINGS AND TO STAY AHEAD

01:18 - 43.828 BECAUSE THE E I CANNOT BE

01:18 - 46.497 PLACE. MY OUR SPAWNED OF

01:18 - 49.600 COURTING. I WILL NOT REPLACE

01:18 - 51.335 HUMANS BUT HUMANS TO I WOULD

01:18 - 52.037 REPLACE HUMANS THAT. ARE YOU

01:18 - 54.739 CONCERNED THAT STUDENTS ARE

01:18 - 55.641 USING IT IN THE CLASSROOM TO

01:18 - 56.741 CHEAT?

01:18 - 59.644 OR HOW CAN YOU GUARANTEE THAT

01:18 - 01.012 THEY ARE SUBMITTING?

01:19 - 01.780 WORK. THAT'S THE ROOM.

01:19 - 03.581 ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALL NEED

01:19 - 06.684 TO OWN UP DOING ACADEME IS THAT

01:19 - 08.786 WE DON'T GIVE THEM GUIDELINES.

01:19 - 09.487 STUDENTS ARE WAY AHEAD IN SOME

01:19 - 10.154 AREAS. THERE'S NO QUESTION.

01:19 - 10.789 SO WE HAVE COMING UP WITH

01:19 - 14.225 POLICIES THAT HAVE A RED LIGHT,

01:19 - 14.860 YELLOW LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT.

01:19 - 18.262 WHAT COURSES ISN'T ALLOWED IN

01:19 - 19.098 FOR WHAT PROJECTS IS THAT

01:19 - 20.231 ALLOWED IT? TO COURSE I

01:19 - 21.200 ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE MY STUDENTS

01:19 - 23.201 AND SAY ASK I TO DEBATE THIS

01:19 - 23.802 FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF

01:19 - 25.236 DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHERS. AND

01:19 - 27.505 THEN WHAT DID YOU COME UP WITH?

01:19 - 28.240 SO WE NEED TO SAY HOW TO USE IT

01:19 - 29.807 AT THE CLAY SAFELY. AND WHAT

01:19 - 32.677 ARE THE CONSTRAINTS? THANK YOU

01:19 - 33.011 SO MUCH.

01:19 - 35.780 THANKS, JENNA LADY

01:19 - 37.849 REPRESENTATIVE MALAGARI.

01:19 - 40.485 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK

01:19 - 41.153 YOU TO ALL OF OUR UNIVERSITY

01:19 - 44.088 PRESIDENTS AND CHANCELLORS FOR

01:19 - 45.990 BEING WITH US TODAY. APPRECIATE

01:19 - 47.825 IT. I WANT TO ASK FIRST OFF A

01:19 - 49.927 QUESTION FOR PRESIDENT IN A

01:19 - 52.663 PRETTY I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE

01:19 - 55.767 FACILITIES AT PENN STATE FOR

01:19 - 56.901 THE DORMITORIES IN STUDENT

01:19 - 59.937 HOUSING AND WHAT IS GOING ON

01:19 - 00.872 WITH REGARD TO TRYING TO

01:20 - 01.707 UPGRADE AND UPDATE SOME OF THE

01:20 - 02.974 OLDER BUILDINGS. WE KNOW THAT

01:20 - 04.609 SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS HAVE

01:20 - 05.277 HAD CHALLENGES IN THE PAST.

01:20 - 08.312 EITHER SPRINKLERS BURSTING IN

01:20 - 09.248 THEM. FIRES HAPPENING. STUDENTS

01:20 - 12.784 BEING DISPLACED, MAYBE HEAT

01:20 - 13.818 GOING OUT DURING SOME SUBZERO

01:20 - 14.520 TEMPERATURES. WHAT ARE WHAT IS

01:20 - 15.787 THE UNIVERSITY DOING TO MAKE

01:20 - 19.757 SURE THAT THOSE FACILITIES ARE

01:20 - 20.424 UPGRADED AND UPDATED SO THAT

01:20 - 21.093 THE STUDENTS HAVE A SAFE AND

01:20 - 24.328 CLEAN LIVING ENVIRONMENT TO

01:20 - 24.630 BE IN.

01:20 - 27.565 THANK YOU, SIR. THIS IS A

01:20 - 28.233 VERY HIGH PRIORITY FOR U.S..

01:20 - 29.367 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE DOESN'T

01:20 - 30.068 ALWAYS GET THE ATTENTION THAT

01:20 - 32.436 IT DESERVES, BUT WE HAVE REALLY

01:20 - 35.873 PRIORITIZED IT.

01:20 - 36.642 SO ACROSS OUR WHOLE.

01:20 - 39.110 BETWEEN US TO PARK AND ALL THE

01:20 - 39.745 CAMPUSES WE HAVE OVER 1200

01:20 - 43.181 BUILDINGS. AND SO WE NEED TO BE

01:20 - 46.117 ABLE TO MAINTAIN THEM FOR OUR

01:20 - 46.785 STUDENTS. WE HAVE A SCHEDULE

01:20 - 48.519 LEVI GONE TO RESIDENTS HALLS

01:20 - 49.321 AND SAID THE SABINE BENEFITED.

01:20 - 53.324 MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN MANY

01:20 - 56.260 MORE HAVE TO COME ONLINE.

01:20 - 57.328 BUT THAT'S AGAIN, WHY WE ASK

01:20 - 58.029 FOR INVESTMENTS BECAUSE WE'RE

01:20 - 58.730 VERY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO

01:20 - 02.366 FOR US. BUT THAT'S THE SORT

01:21 - 03.067 OF THING THAT WE NEED SUPPORT

01:21 - 03.735 FOR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE

01:21 - 06.003 KEEPING UP WITH WHERE WE NEED

01:21 - 07.071 TO BE.

01:21 - 08.040 I APPRECIATE HEARING THAT

01:21 - 09.674 WOULD BE LOOKING TO WORK WITH

01:21 - 11.709 YOU TO TRY AND FIND MORE OF

01:21 - 13.845 THOSE SOLUTIONS TO SOME OF

01:21 - 14.445 THESE ISSUES. THE SECOND

01:21 - 15.380 QUESTION I HAVE MY FINAL

01:21 - 18.082 QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU.

01:21 - 18.683 THIS. THIS COVERS PUBLIC

01:21 - 19.384 TRANSPORTATION. WE ARE. YOU'RE

01:21 - 23.821 NOT HERE IN A TRANSPORTATION

01:21 - 25.790 HEARING. HOWEVER, YOU DO RELY

01:21 - 26.725 ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN

01:21 - 28.326 WHERE YOUR UNIVERSITIES HAVE A

01:21 - 29.061 FOOTPRINT, EITHER IT BE YOUR

01:21 - 33.130 MAIN CAMPUS OR AT WHEN YOUR

01:21 - 34.365 SATELLITE LOCATIONS. HOW

01:21 - 36.367 IMPORTANT IS IT YOUR FACILITIES

01:21 - 40.204 AND YOUR INSTITUTIONS TO SEE

01:21 - 40.838 THE ACTUAL INVESTMENT AND

01:21 - 41.473 MAINTAIN INVESTMENT WITHIN

01:21 - 43.307 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ACROSS

01:21 - 45.343 THE COMMONWEALTH. I KNOW

01:21 - 47.211 THERE'S A LARGE FOOTPRINT

01:21 - 48.246 WITHIN THE PHILADELPHIA REGION.

01:21 - 48.846 ALSO WITHIN PENN STATE'S

01:21 - 49.548 ABINGTON CAMPUS TEMPLE AMBLER

01:21 - 52.250 CAMPUS AND MANY OTHERS IN

01:21 - 56.087 PITTSBURGH AS WELL. AND ALSO

01:21 - 56.721 WE'RE R R A FACILITIES ARE

01:21 - 57.389 ACROSS THE COMMENTS. IF YOU

01:21 - 01.192 EACH OF YOU CAN CAN SPEAK TO

01:22 - 02.526 THAT A LITTLE BIT FOR YOUR

01:22 - 03.228 RESPECTIVE HE APPRECIATED ALL

01:22 - 07.098 START IN THE BRIEF FOR US.

01:22 - 07.798 IT'S MISSION CRITICAL. WE HAVE

01:22 - 08.467 AT LEAST 12,000 PEOPLE A DAY

01:22 - 13.204 WERE GETTING BACK AND FORTH

01:22 - 13.906 TO TEMPLE EVERY DAY BY PUBLIC

01:22 - 16.674 TRANCE OF TRANSPORT, A SEPTA

01:22 - 18.276 BUSES AND RAIL.

01:22 - 18.911 IT'S ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL

01:22 - 22.213 BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE

01:22 - 24.749 WAS A FRIEND OF A A SHUTDOWN

01:22 - 26.250 UP, IT WOULD OVERWHELM OUR

01:22 - 26.985 CAMPUS WITH WITH CARS, WHICH WE

01:22 - 30.655 WOULD BE ABLE TO PARK. AND SO

01:22 - 31.856 FOR US OF LIFE, BLOOD FROM AN

01:22 - 32.591 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT

01:22 - 35.293 AND CERTAINLY FROM A QUALITY.

01:22 - 36.394 LET'S NOT POINT. THANK YOU FOR

01:22 - 36.694 THAT.

01:22 - 37.429 SAME REPRESENTATIVE WE SENT A

01:22 - 39.530 LETTER OF SUPPORT LAST YEAR IN

01:22 - 42.633 SUPPORT OF PRT. THERE

01:22 - 43.601 CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOO.

01:22 - 44.236 OBVIOUSLY OUR FACULTY AND

01:22 - 46.404 STAFF, BUT ALSO OUR STUDENTS.

01:22 - 47.105 WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO

01:22 - 48.239 COMMUTE THAT IN THE HEALTH

01:22 - 50.474 SCIENCES IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE

01:22 - 54.312 THEY'RE GOING ALL OVER THE CITY

01:22 - 55.346 TO GET TO THEIR CLINICAL

01:22 - 56.714 ENVIRONMENTS. AND SO IT'S INTO

01:22 - 57.416 OAKLAND, BUT ALSO ITS OUT FROM

01:22 - 58.916 OAKLAND. WE'RE VERY RELIANT

01:22 - 02.687 ON THE TRANSPORTATION.

01:23 - 03.354 WE HAVE ALMOST NONE WHICH

01:23 - 04.056 MAKES IT HARD FOR STUDENTS TO

01:23 - 06.424 ACTUALLY DO WORK IN THE

01:23 - 07.792 COMMUNITY.

01:23 - 10.528 YOU CAN JUST GET ONE BUS COMING

01:23 - 11.195 IN FROM PHILLY. WHAT TODAY?

01:23 - 11.897 WE WOULD BE VERY HAPPY. SO LET

01:23 - 14.465 US KNOW WE CAN DO. THANK YOU

01:23 - 15.933 FOR MENTIONING THAT.

01:23 - 16.635 AND AND FOR US IN ABINGTON,

01:23 - 22.239 THAT, AS YOU SAID, IS A

01:23 - 22.840 MOST OF THE STUDENTS AT

01:23 - 23.508 UNIVERSITY PARK LIE ON IT TO

01:23 - 25.810 SOME EXTENT AS WELL. THANK YOU

01:23 - 26.278 FOR THAT.

01:23 - 29.380 WOULD THERE BE A DEVASTATING

01:23 - 31.716 EFFECT ON THE?

01:23 - 33.951 UNIVERSITY STAFF, FACULTY STAFF

01:23 - 35.853 IF THERE WASN'T ANY FURTHER

01:23 - 36.621 OPPORTUNITY FOR UPGRADES ARE

01:23 - 39.657 CONTINUED UP TRANSPORTATION

01:23 - 40.691 FUNDING FOR THOSE MODES OF

01:23 - 42.693 TRANSPORTATION. I MEAN, FOR

01:23 - 43.395 FIGHTING SO HARD TO GET PEOPLE

01:23 - 46.364 BACK TO CAMPUS WORKING, YOU

01:23 - 48.165 KNOW, ALL WEEK, WE WOULD HAVE

01:23 - 48.867 TO START THINKING ABOUT REMOTE

01:23 - 51.002 AGAIN, WHICH I THINK WOULD

01:23 - 51.602 UNDERMINE SO MUCH OF THE

01:23 - 51.970 PROGRESS.

01:23 - 54.638 THAT WE'VE MADE IN BUILDING

01:23 - 55.407 COMMUNITY. SO THIS WOULD SHOULD

01:23 - 56.974 BE A TERRIBLE SETBACK FOR US

01:23 - 59.310 WOULD BE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT TO

01:23 - 00.145 THE AREA AND THE REGION OF

01:24 - 02.113 WHICH ARE UNIVERSITY ABSOLUTELY

01:24 - 02.813 BECAUSE OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE

01:24 - 03.515 COMING IN EVERY DAY, YOU KNOW,

01:24 - 06.417 TO CAMPUS, THEY'RE NOT GOING

01:24 - 07.385 TO BE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW,

01:24 - 08.219 HAVING LAUNCHER

01:24 - 08.886 OR DINNER OR OR, YOU KNOW,

01:24 - 09.621 BUYING THINGS AROUND CAMPUS AND

01:24 - 11.255 THINGS LIKE THAT. SO YES.

01:24 - 13.124 IT WOULD MELT AWAY ECONOMIC

01:24 - 14.458 IMPACT AT THAT. PRECISELY ON

01:24 - 18.462 WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD UP.

01:24 - 20.631 I'M LIKE A RECRUIT. YOU KNOW,

01:24 - 22.033 RETAILERS AND HOTELS AND OTHER

01:24 - 22.701 COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY TO BROAD

01:24 - 25.669 STREET. IF NO ONE'S GOING TO

01:24 - 26.337 BE THERE. I APPRECIATE YOUR

01:24 - 26.938 ANSWERS. THANK YOU. VERY

01:24 - 31.342 SPONSORS. THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN.

01:24 - 33.144 THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

01:24 - 42.019 AND I'D LIKE TO DIRECT MY

01:24 - 45.189 OPENING QUESTION TO PRESIDENT

01:24 - 46.424 FREI PRESIDENT BRIAN.

01:24 - 47.292 MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO SAY WHEN

01:24 - 50.294 WHEN GOD CLOSES A DOOR, HE

01:24 - 53.431 OPENS A WINDOW IN SCHUYLKILL

01:24 - 54.066 COUNTY. WE SAY NOW

01:24 - 55.232 THAT ONE GOD CLOSES A RITE AID,

01:24 - 00.805 HE OPENS A TEMPLE DENTAL CLINIC

01:25 - 01.806 THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE. BUT

01:25 - 02.641 THAT'S WHAT I SAY. AND

01:25 - 05.376 CANDIDLY, IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A

01:25 - 07.144 REAL PLEASURE TO WORK WITH

01:25 - 08.979 TEMPLE DENTAL DEAN. ISHMAEL.

01:25 - 12.016 SENATOR ARGALL CONGRESSMAN

01:25 - 14.952 USER.

01:25 - 16.087 MICHAEL COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

01:25 - 17.755 IN THE MORGAN FOUNDATION TO

01:25 - 18.423 BRING A 10 TO TEMPLE DENTAL

01:25 - 21.025 CLINIC TO TAMAQUA PENNSYLVANIA

01:25 - 25.563 AND INTEGRATE JUST JUST A A

01:25 - 26.897 GREAT. A SITUATION WHERE WE

01:25 - 27.866 HAVE MULTIPLE GROUPS WORKING

01:25 - 34.538 TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOOD

01:25 - 38.843 IT. I THINK IT'S.

01:25 - 41.545 RURAL HEALTH IN GENERAL IS IS

01:25 - 43.380 A REAL REAL CONCERN. AND TEMPLE

01:25 - 46.417 DENTAL YS INVESTMENT. IN

01:25 - 46.952 TEMPLES, INVESTMENT.

01:25 - 49.920 IN WORLD DENTISTRY SHOWS

01:25 - 53.557 GREAT.

01:25 - 54.192 AND I'M ACCOUNTABILITY.

01:25 - 57.795 DO YOU KNOW A PRESIDENT FRIED,

01:25 - 58.796 YOU KNOW WHAT TEMPLES

01:25 - 00.631 INVESTMENT IS IN THE TEMPLE

01:26 - 02.700 DENTAL CLINIC AND TO MOCK WHAT

01:26 - 03.501 YOU KNOW, THAT ANSWER IT,

01:26 - 04.368 REPRESENTATIVE. I CAN JUST

01:26 - 05.036 MAYBE GO THROUGH THE CAPITAL

01:26 - 07.171 STOCK BECAUSE I THINK IT'S

01:26 - 08.140 INSTRUCTIVE IN TERMS OF THE

01:26 - 10.908 PARTNERS THEY HAVE THAT WE HAVE

01:26 - 11.842 INVOLVED WITH THIS EFFORT.

01:26 - 12.610 SO THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT

01:26 - 13.178 OF COMMUNITY ECONOMIC

01:26 - 15.279 DEVELOPMENT IS CONTRIBUTING

01:26 - 18.415 4.5 MILLION U.S. DEPARTMENT

01:26 - 19.117 OF AGRICULTURE, 2 MILLION BUT

01:26 - 20.518 AMAKA CITY REVITALIZATION AND

01:26 - 22.720 IMPROVEMENT ZONE. 2 AND A HALF

01:26 - 25.823 BILLION DOLLAR LOAN. THE MORGAN

01:26 - 26.924 FOUNDATION, 2 MILLION AND WE

01:26 - 27.859 PICK UP THE BALANCE AND GO AT

01:26 - 29.927 RISK FOR THE RUST RIGHT, WHICH

01:26 - 30.662 I SUSPECT IS GOING TO BE IN THE

01:26 - 33.330 SOUTH 2 TO 3 MILLION DOLLAR

01:26 - 34.632 LEVEL. BUT THE FACT THAT WE

01:26 - 35.300 HAVE 5 COMMITTED PARTNERS TO

01:26 - 37.735 SERVE LIFT THIS THING OFF THE

01:26 - 38.703 GROUND IS GREAT. AND THEN THE

01:26 - 40.971 THING I'M EXCITED ABOUT IS THAT

01:26 - 41.640 THE 10 DENTAL STUDENTS WILL

01:26 - 43.507 START WORKING IN TOMORROW.

01:26 - 45.276 BUT IN THE FALL ARE GOING TO

01:26 - 47.278 HAVE RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATIONS

01:26 - 48.479 THERE. AND OUR HOPE IS THAT

01:26 - 49.114 THEY'RE GOING TO BE BECOME

01:26 - 50.848 RESIDENTS IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY

01:26 - 54.818 ONE DAY AND BE THE NEXT

01:26 - 56.420 GENERATION OF THAT IS SO THE

01:26 - 57.155 IDEA IS NOT JUST TO GIVE THEM A

01:26 - 58.956 GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AND

01:26 - 01.926 TO MOCK WHAT TO SERVE YOUR

01:27 - 02.626 CITIZENS, BUT ALSO TO INCENT

01:27 - 03.328 THEM, YOU KNOW, TO THE EYE ON

01:27 - 05.196 THEIR LIVE THERE, RAISE THEIR

01:27 - 05.864 FAMILIES THERE AND CONTINUE

01:27 - 07.064 TO BE A SERVICE TO THE

01:27 - 09.400 COMMUNITY. SO IT'S A IT'S A

01:27 - 10.101 MODEL PUBLIC PRIVATE OR PUBLIC

01:27 - 14.238 PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP, IF YOU

01:27 - 14.940 YEAH, AND WE'RE WE'RE

01:27 - 17.007 INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

01:27 - 18.142 IT BRINGS A LOT OF ECONOMIC

01:27 - 22.079 VITALITY TO TO TO THE COMMUNITY

01:27 - 25.316 AS WELL. LET ME ASK YOU THIS,

01:27 - 26.383 YOU KNOW, JUST AN TEMPLE DENTAL

01:27 - 27.818 AS A WHOLE. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH

01:27 - 31.121 OF THE STATE'S APPROPRIATION

01:27 - 34.925 GOES? 2 TEMPLE, DENTAL.

01:27 - 36.827 SO ARE 158 MILLION DOLLARS IS

01:27 - 37.462 BASICALLY ALL FOR STUDENT

01:27 - 39.430 FINANCIAL AID.

01:27 - 40.131 SO THE ANSWER IS NOTHING.

01:27 - 44.235 OKAY. NOW WE OF COURSE, THE

01:27 - 45.102 UNIVERSITY SUPPORTS THE DENTAL

01:27 - 45.770 SCHOOL AND IN NUMEROUS WAYS.

01:27 - 49.039 BUT BUT THE MONEY WE RECEIVED

01:27 - 52.176 FROM THE COMMONWEALTH IS

01:27 - 53.877 ALLOCATED FOR OUR STUDENTS ARE

01:27 - 55.179 OUR THEIR OR THEIR DISCOUNTS

01:27 - 55.880 ARE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR

01:27 - 58.382 STATE RED STATE STUDENTS IN

01:27 - 00.684 IN TEMPLE, DENTAL.

01:28 - 02.620 I HAVE TO GET BACK TO ON.

01:28 - 03.587 OKAY. I I I SUSPECT THE ANSWER

01:28 - 04.288 IS THAT THERE THERE IS ARE

01:28 - 05.023 PROBABLY A NUMBER OF RESTRICTED

01:28 - 08.192 SCHOLARSHIPS THAT WE'VE RAISED

01:28 - 10.394 OVER TIME.

01:28 - 11.162 THAT HELP UNDERWRITE A DENTAL

01:28 - 14.298 EDUCATION. THE WORLD PEACE IS

01:28 - 16.233 COMING TO TO MOCK WAS IS GREAT

01:28 - 17.135 OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS OR

01:28 - 19.336 DEAD DENTAL STUDENTS TO SAVE

01:28 - 21.372 MONEY BECAUSE OF THE BOARD

01:28 - 22.106 WOULD BE THE BOARDING PART OF

01:28 - 22.774 IT. THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE

01:28 - 24.475 PLACE TO STAY, WOULD BE COVERED

01:28 - 27.611 AS PART OF THEIR TUITION TO US.

01:31 - 24.955 ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN THE

01:31 - 25.590 WORLD FOR ALL KINDS OF

01:31 - 27.157 TECHNOLOGIES OR HEALTH SCIENCE

01:31 - 34.431 STAGNANT

01:31 - 35.065 AND AND I WON. I WON HERE.

01:31 - 35.733 THE IMPACTS OF THAT. WHAT WE

01:31 - 37.434 COULD BE WITH THE VISION SHOULD

01:31 - 41.438 BE FOR THE YOUNG YOUNG MEN AND

01:31 - 42.140 WOMEN IN PENNSYLVANIA SO THAT

01:31 - 45.809 WE INVEST IN HIGHER EDUCATION

01:31 - 47.478 RAPTOR, THEN DENY THAT IMPACT

01:31 - 50.380 AND THAT WE MOVED THIS ENTIRE

01:31 - 52.049 COMMONWEALTH INTO A A BETTER

01:31 - 52.683 FUTURE. SO IF YOU WANT TO

01:31 - 53.318 START, THAT'S GREAT. BUT I

01:31 - 55.052 WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM EACH OF

01:31 - 59.990 YOU THAT WHAT WE COULD

01:32 - 00.725 ACCOMPLISH BY. PROVIDING MORE

01:32 - 03.994 RESOURCES BY MAKING IN-STATE

01:32 - 06.363 TUITION CHEAPER AND BY KEEPING

01:32 - 07.764 ALL OF THOSE STUDENTS IN THE

01:32 - 08.466 COMMONWEALTH. THANK YOU, SIR.

01:32 - 09.967 WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

01:32 - 10.668 BEEN GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO.

01:32 - 13.470 WE RECOGNIZE YOU HAVE A

01:32 - 14.471 CHOICE TO MAKE, BUT I WOULD

01:32 - 17.040 ARGUE HIGHER EDUCATION IS ONE

01:32 - 20.143 OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS YOU CAN

01:32 - 21.245 MAKE ON BEHALF OF THIS

01:32 - 22.513 COMMONWEALTH. BUT AS EVERY

01:32 - 23.214 DOLLAR THAT YOU GIVE US GHOST

01:32 - 25.782 SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS, IN-STATE

01:32 - 27.684 TUITION.

01:32 - 31.955 EVEN THOUGH WE GET ONLY 5,000

01:32 - 33.657 US LESS THAN $6,000

01:32 - 34.424 PER STUDENT. PLEASE KNOW THAT

01:32 - 35.126 THE IN-STATE TUITION DISCOUNT

01:32 - 38.195 TO THE TUNE OF 20,000 PUMP IT

01:32 - 40.230 OUT OF STATE. SO THE REMAINING

01:32 - 42.232 AMOUNT IS COMING FROM PENN

01:32 - 43.034 STATE. BUT TAKING THE DOLLARS

01:32 - 45.068 AND PUTTING IT IN EVERY DOLLAR

01:32 - 47.671 GOES TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS.

01:32 - 48.372 AND TO ME NOW, THE WAY

01:32 - 49.040 LITERALLY LAST NIGHT, MY CFO

01:32 - 54.378 AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT IT.

01:32 - 56.313 PENN STATE INVESTS OVER

01:32 - 57.047 400 MILLION A YEAR IN TRYING TO

01:32 - 57.782 MAKE SURE THAT OUT IN STATES TO

01:32 - 01.351 TO TO SHUN CONTINUES TO STAY AT

01:33 - 04.855 THE LEVEL. IT IS. AS I TOLD

01:33 - 05.455 YOU, WE GET LESS EVEN IN

01:33 - 06.257 NOMINAL DOLLARS TODAY. THAT

01:33 - 08.325 MEANS NOT ACCOUNTING FOR

01:33 - 09.060 INFLATION COMPARED TO 2000,

01:33 - 12.429 WE GET LESS TODAY THAN WE DID

01:33 - 15.499 IN 2000. WE HAVE 10,000 MORE

01:33 - 16.567 STUDENTS

01:33 - 18.535 AND INFLATION, WE ACCOUNTED FOR

01:33 - 19.237 INFLATION. SO WHAT WOULD BE DO

01:33 - 21.772 IF YOU BROUGHT US TO PAR IF YOU

01:33 - 22.440 GAVE US THE SAME AMOUNT PER

01:33 - 26.410 STUDENT, ESPECIALLY OUR TEMPLE

01:33 - 28.045 OR CUT, WE WOULD BE AT ONE

01:33 - 28.746 40 MILLION MORE. BUT WE HAVE

01:33 - 31.148 ALL UNDERFUNDED IS MY POINT

01:33 - 31.749 COMPARED TO THE NATIONAL

01:33 - 35.252 AVERAGE THE NATIONAL. WHAT

01:33 - 36.220 WOULD WE DO WITH IT? WE WOULD

01:33 - 38.088 FACE WE WOULD REDUCE TUITION

01:33 - 39.990 MORE. HE WOULD BE ABLE TO

01:33 - 42.125 INVEST MORE IN THESE PROGRAMS

01:33 - 43.660 WHERE STUDENTS CAN BE EMBEDDED

01:33 - 44.395 IN THE COMMUNITY. HAVE THAT YOU

01:33 - 47.030 EXPERIENCE IS WE WOULD BE ABLE

01:33 - 47.732 TO ATTRACT MORE INDUSTRY WHEN

01:33 - 50.033 YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN IT ON THE

01:33 - 52.336 JOBS OF THE FUTURE, THEY ARE

01:33 - 52.971 GOING TO GO TO THE TALENT

01:33 - 57.874 PIPELINE. SO THAT'S WHAT WE

01:33 - 58.909 WOULD DO. WE HAVE. THAT'S

01:33 - 59.811 MY PLEA AT EVERY STAGE OF BEEN

01:33 - 02.613 IN 5 STATES, I THINK. AND SO

01:34 - 05.282 THIS ONE, THE INVESTMENT, I

01:34 - 06.084 WOULD SAY ONE QUICK THING, SIR.

01:34 - 09.052 PENNSYLVANIA IS WAY TOO MANY

01:34 - 09.687 COLLEGES PER STUDENT. SO I

01:34 - 12.089 LOOKED AT WHY IS IT THAT WE

01:34 - 13.024 HAVE UNDERFUNDED? THAT'S A

01:34 - 14.691 CHALLENGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW

01:34 - 16.727 WE ADDRESS IT, BUT THAT'S ALSO

01:34 - 20.631 REALITY. DECLINING POPULATIONS.

01:34 - 21.264 DEMOGRAPHIC CLIFF IS HERE.

01:34 - 22.100 THE ONE YEAR-OLDS OF TODAY AT

01:34 - 23.967 20% LESS THAN THE ONE THE 18

01:34 - 27.070 YEAR-OLDS IN COLLEGE TODAY.

01:34 - 28.038 SO IT'S A COMPLEX ISSUE, BUT I

01:34 - 28.740 HOPE THAT THE STATE AND WE ARE

01:34 - 31.575 ALL EAGER TO PARTNER WITH YOU.

01:34 - 36.780 WHEN ASKED SOMETHING TO THAT.

01:34 - 37.481 AS YOU KNOW, THE UNIVERSITY IS

01:34 - 38.116 THE FIRST DEGREE-GRANTING

01:34 - 42.319 HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE.

01:34 - 45.389 THERE ARE 107 APPROXIMATELY HBC

01:34 - 48.258 USE IN THIS COUNTRY.

01:34 - 51.962 HBC USE THEIR WHICH IS ONLY

01:34 - 52.896 ABOUT 3% OF ALL EYES. UK

01:34 - 53.865 SHUNNED YET A SPECIES PRODUCE

01:34 - 56.667 ABOUT 20% OF ALL

01:34 - 57.401 AFRICAN-AMERICANS WITH A

01:34 - 58.136 BACCALAUREATE DEGREE, 8% OF ALL

01:34 - 00.837 BLACK JUDGES IN THIS COUNTRY

01:35 - 03.807 WENT TO AN HBCU, 50% OF ALL

01:35 - 05.142 PHYSICIANS, 50% OF OGDEN TO

01:35 - 09.112 ATTEND AN HBCU IN 25% OF PEOPLE

01:35 - 09.781 IN BLACK PEOPLE INC IN HAD I

01:35 - 11.515 THINK YOU'LL BE AT A HISTORIC

01:35 - 16.620 BLACK COLLEGE. BUT HISTORICALLY

01:35 - 18.555 WE HAVE FUNCTION WITH RESOURCES

01:35 - 20.090 AT ONLY A FRACTION OF MANY OF

01:35 - 23.794 OUR PW. I KIND OF PARSE IN

01:35 - 24.361 SEOUL. I AM

01:35 - 24.961 VERY GRATEFUL. WELL, THE

01:35 - 25.630 INVESTMENT THAT COMMONWEALTH

01:35 - 29.966 MAKES IN LEAGUE UNIVERSITY.

01:35 - 32.069 I OFTEN ASK MYSELF HOW MUCH

01:35 - 32.837 MORE CAN WE DO IF WE HAVE MORE

01:35 - 36.106 RESOURCES, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE

01:35 - 39.176 ARE EDUCATING ME AND A LARGE

01:35 - 40.877 MAJORITY OF STUDENTS WEAR.

01:35 - 41.546 THEY DON'T COME WITH ALL OF

01:35 - 43.980 THE PREPARATION THAT THEY MAY

01:35 - 44.981 NEED.

01:35 - 48.885 HOWEVER, WE HAVE SOMEHOW ABLE

01:36 - 07.471 AMONG AFRICAN-AMERICANS.

01:36 - 37.400 HELP BUT FEEL THAT IT'S SUPER

01:36 - 38.102 HYPOCRITICAL THAT YOU'RE HERE

01:36 - 41.037 TALKING ABOUT PENNSYLVANIA,

01:36 - 43.373 INVESTING IN PENN STATE WHEN

01:36 - 44.074 PENN STATE HAS TURNED ITS BACK

01:36 - 44.742 ON 7 COMMONWEALTH CAMPUSES,

01:36 - 48.011 INCLUDING PENN STATE FAYETTE IN

01:36 - 48.913 MY DISTRICT. THIS ACTION

01:36 - 50.380 REPRESENTS A SERIOUS DEPARTURE

01:36 - 52.682 FROM PENN STATE'S LAND GRANT

01:36 - 54.551 MISSION THAT BUILT THIS

01:36 - 55.219 INSTITUTION. THESE CAMPUSES

01:36 - 59.055 AREN'T JUST FACILITIES AND A

01:36 - 00.357 MAP. THEIR LIFELINES FOR

01:37 - 02.159 WORKING CLASS STUDENTS,

01:37 - 02.793 ECONOMIC ANCHORS FOR RURAL

01:37 - 03.528 COMMUNITIES AND PLACES WHERE

01:37 - 05.762 PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NEVER HAVE HAD

01:37 - 08.832 ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION.

01:37 - 09.534 WE'RE ABLE TO BUILD A FUTURE.

01:37 - 10.600 AND AND FAYETTE COUNTY, THE

01:37 - 11.768 BOTH OF THE STATE

01:37 - 12.769 REPRESENTATIVES MYSELF,

01:37 - 13.471 REPRESENTATIVE RYAN WARNER AND

01:37 - 15.272 OUR STATE SENATOR STEPHEN OR

01:37 - 17.374 ALL PENN STATE ALUM AND ALL

01:37 - 19.309 HAVE ROOTS IT IN FAKE CAMPUS.

01:37 - 21.645 BUT AT THE SAME TIME, PENN

01:37 - 23.480 STATE IS CLOSING CAMPUSES LIKE

01:37 - 24.115 FAYETTE. THE UNIVERSITY IS

01:37 - 26.550 ASKING TAXPAYERS FOR MORE MONEY

01:37 - 28.385 THAN EVER BEFORE. ACCORDING TO

01:37 - 32.289 THE MATERIALS WE RECEIVED PENN

01:37 - 33.290 STATE'S REQUESTING 394.4

01:37 - 35.258 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING.

01:37 - 37.360 AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN

01:37 - 39.196 58 MILLION. WE'RE ABOUT 11.7%

01:37 - 40.664 OVER LAST YEAR'S APPROPRIATION.

01:37 - 44.801 AND YET WHILE ASKING TAXPAYERS

01:37 - 45.369 FOR MORE FUNDING, THE

01:37 - 46.770 UNIVERSITY IS APPROVED HUNDREDS

01:37 - 47.438 OF MILLIONS IN DISCRETIONARY

01:37 - 50.006 SPENDING, INCLUDING 7 MILLION

01:37 - 51.541 DOLLARS IN A STADIUM.

01:37 - 52.276 INNOVATION 10'S OF MILLION PAID

01:37 - 55.545 TO A FOOTBALL COACH TO WALK

01:37 - 56.113 AWAY FROM US JOB AND A

01:37 - 58.081 SEVEN-FIGURE SALARY INCREASE

01:37 - 00.150 FOR YOU IN THE ROLE OF A

01:38 - 01.051 UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT. SO I

01:38 - 01.752 THINK IT'S RESPECT REASONABLE

01:38 - 05.388 FOR TAXPAYERS. ASK IF THERE IS

01:38 - 06.023 MONEY FOR ALL THAT. WHY IS

01:38 - 08.658 THERE SUDDENLY NO MONEY TO KEEP

01:38 - 10.360 OUR RURAL CAMPUS IS OPEN BEYOND

01:38 - 11.361 THE FINANCIAL DECISIONS?

01:38 - 13.029 WHAT CONCERNS ME IS ALSO THE

01:38 - 16.099 LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND

01:38 - 17.100 ACCOUNTABILITY SURROUNDING

01:38 - 18.401 THESE CLOSURES. I'VE PROPOSED

01:38 - 19.103 LEGISLATION THAT WOULD REQUIRE

01:38 - 21.838 THINGS LIKE ADVANCE NOTICE TO

01:38 - 23.940 THE COMMONWEALTH, ECONOMIC AND

01:38 - 24.609 COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORTS AND

01:38 - 28.578 STUDIES A CLEAR TRANSITION PLAN

01:38 - 31.648 FOR STUDENTS. WORKFORCE PLAN

01:38 - 32.315 FOR EMPLOYEES AND THE PUBLIC

01:38 - 33.050 STRATEGY STRATEGY FOR LONG-TERM

01:38 - 36.820 USE OF THE PROPERTY. SO SEVERAL

01:38 - 37.555 QUESTIONS, THE FIRST BEING LAST

01:38 - 38.588 YEAR WHEN REPRESENTATIVE RYAN

01:38 - 39.823 WARNER AND I MET WITH US TO

01:38 - 40.690 COLLEGE. AND AND I COMMEND,

01:38 - 41.392 YOU KNOW, IS VERY GRATEFUL TO

01:38 - 43.927 HAVE. I THINK IT WAS 45 MINUTES

01:38 - 44.629 THAT YOU SAT DOWN WITH US AND

01:38 - 47.130 AND AND TOOK THE TIME TO

01:38 - 48.932 DISCUSS THAT CAMPUS AT THAT

01:38 - 51.034 TIME. US SPECIFICALLY INDICATED

01:38 - 52.135 THE PENN STATE WAS TAKING INTO

01:38 - 54.905 CONSIDERATION REGIONAL FOR

01:38 - 55.806 REGIONAL WORKFORCE NEEDS.

01:38 - 56.840 AND THEN YOU QUICKLY

01:38 - 58.541 ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A

01:38 - 01.578 SHORTAGE OF NURSING STAFF

01:39 - 02.579 ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA.

01:39 - 06.483 AS PENN STATE MADE A FINAL

01:39 - 09.552 DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE

01:39 - 10.187 NURSING PROGRAM IN FAYETTE

01:39 - 12.422 CAMPUS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS

01:39 - 13.256 THIS THAT PENN STATE MAY KEEP A

01:39 - 13.958 PHYSICAL FOOTPRINT IN FAYETTE

01:39 - 16.459 COUNTY WITH RESPECT TO THE

01:39 - 19.429 NURSING PROGRAM.

01:39 - 25.002 COUPLE OF THINGS STRAIGHT

01:39 - 28.872 BEFORE I GET TO WHAT YOU SAID.

01:39 - 29.807 NUMBER ONE ON ATHLETICS.

01:39 - 46.256 AND NOT ONE DOLLAR B DON'T EVEN

01:39 - 48.258 TOUCH ON STUDENT FEES.

01:39 - 48.659 UNLIKE MANY

01:39 - 49.993 UNIVERSITIES THAT COMPELLED

01:39 - 50.493 TO ITS COMPLETELY

01:39 - 51.195 SELF-SUSTAINING. WITH ALL DUE

01:39 - 53.229 RESPECT, THAT SOUNDS LIKE SMOKE

01:39 - 53.764 AND MIRRORS. IT'S A

01:39 - 56.299 SHUFFLE GAME.

01:39 - 57.334 SO BUT BUT WE WE ONLY HAVE

01:39 - 58.035 REALLY A FIVE-MINUTE SPAN, OK,

01:40 - 04.541 LIKE TO BE ON THE RECORD THAT I

01:40 - 05.575 COMPLETELY DISAGREE, BUT I

01:40 - 06.243 WOULD GO ON BECAUSE IT'S ALL

01:40 - 09.879 TICKET SALES AND PHILANTHROPY

01:40 - 10.480 JUST TO BEAT. BUT ON THE

01:40 - 11.148 COMPASS IS PLEASE KNOW THAT

01:40 - 12.515 THIS WAS AN AGONIZING DECISION

01:40 - 16.753 FOR US. IF THE COMMONWEALTH

01:40 - 19.456 SAME LEVEL AS EVEN A BASHING

01:40 - 20.623 LIGHTLY. INTERRUPT YOU. MY

01:42 - 39.529 I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT BOTH.

01:42 - 42.398 I'M SO IN LIGHT OF THE PENN

01:42 - 44.300 STATE CAMPUS CLOSURES, PENN

01:42 - 45.335 STATE MADE A COMMITMENT TO FIND

01:42 - 47.403 COMPARABLE POSITIONS FOR THE

01:42 - 50.106 TEAMSTERS UNION MEMBERS.

01:42 - 50.808 I'M WORKING AS GROUNDSKEEPERS

01:42 - 52.976 AND OTHER STAFF AN EAR ON THESE

01:42 - 57.247 SATELLITE CAMPUSES. AT CAMPUSES

01:42 - 59.015 THAT ARE NOT CLOSING AS OF

01:42 - 59.683 JANUARY, THOUGH, 45 OF THOSE

01:42 - 03.453 TEAMSTERS HAD NOT RECEIVED SUCH

01:43 - 05.622 AN OFFER. HAS THAT BEEN

01:43 - 06.190 ADDRESSED AND HOW MANY

01:43 - 08.758 TEAMSTERS REMAIN WITHOUT AN

01:43 - 10.760 OFFER?

01:43 - 13.930 I DON'T HAVE THE FIG IT OFF THE

01:43 - 14.798 TOP OF MY HEAD. I DO KNOW THAT

01:43 - 16.566 THE CONVERSATIONS WITH TEAMS TO

01:43 - 17.201 SEPARATE ARE PROGRESSING.

01:43 - 19.736 MY UNDERSTANDING IS

01:43 - 20.770 PRODUCTIVITY,

01:43 - 21.205 INCLUDING ON.

01:43 - 22.939 AND A LOT OF THE ASPECTS.

01:43 - 23.908 BUT I'M HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH

01:43 - 30.947 APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

01:43 - 31.648 AND TEETH REMAIN A CALM OR

01:43 - 32.349 TEETH REMAIN A LUXURY BONES OF

01:43 - 34.984 THIS COMMONWEALTH AND

01:43 - 37.453 ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS.

01:43 - 38.155 WE ARE HEMORRHAGING DENTISTS,

01:43 - 40.323 ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO

01:43 - 42.559 PARTICIPATE IN MEDICAID.

01:43 - 43.826 PITT AND TEMPLE ARE TAKING

01:43 - 44.495 STEPS TO ADDRESS THAT NEED.

01:43 - 47.130 CAN YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT YOUR

01:43 - 51.334 PLANS?

01:43 - 52.602 I'll START AT.

01:43 - 53.571 WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS SO

01:43 - 57.373 YES, WE'RE BOTH VERY COMMITTED

01:43 - 58.675 TO THIS.

01:43 - 01.578 IT IS NOT ONLY A VERY HIGH NEED

01:44 - 02.445 AREA, BUT THERE'S ACTUALLY A

01:44 - 03.314 VERY DEEP BODY OF RESEARCH ON

01:44 - 06.216 HOW YOUR ORAL HEALTH EFFECTS

01:44 - 08.885 THE REST OF YOUR PHYSICAL

01:44 - 09.520 HEALTH WITH DIRECT TIES TO

01:44 - 12.589 OTHER COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES

01:44 - 15.592 THAT CAN BE RESOLVED WITH

01:44 - 17.894 STRONG DENTAL HEALTH CARE.

01:44 - 20.263 SO FOR US, WHAT WERE OUR DEAN

01:44 - 20.965 MARNEY OAKLEY, WHOSE FABULOUS

01:44 - 23.032 IS SOMETHING THAT SHE LEARNED

01:44 - 26.002 WHEN SHE WAS A MILITARY DENTIST

01:44 - 26.903 AROUND BRINGING DENTAL CARE

01:44 - 27.805 INTO UNDERSERVED AREAS, BOTH

01:44 - 30.473 THROUGH DENTAL TRAINING, WHICH

01:44 - 31.308 IS THE CORNERSTONE OF WHAT

01:44 - 34.010 WE'RE DOING, BUT ALSO THROUGH

01:44 - 35.545 DENTAL. HYGIENIST U.S. TRAINING

01:44 - 39.449 AND A NEW PROGRAM. THAT'S A

01:44 - 40.084 MASTER'S IN DENTISTRY FOR

01:44 - 42.218 PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE EXPERTS

01:44 - 42.820 IN DENTAL CARE THE WAY I

01:44 - 44.654 UNDERSTAND IT IS IT'S SORT OF

01:44 - 46.256 LIKE BEING A PA OR NURSE

01:44 - 49.292 PRACTITIONER. BUT IN DENTISTRY,

01:44 - 51.494 THIS WOULD BE A NEW AREA OF

01:44 - 53.630 EXPERTISE WHERE YOU BRING IN

01:44 - 54.265 SOMETHING BETWEEN A DENTAL

01:44 - 57.033 HYGIENIST, WHICH FOR US IS A

01:44 - 59.202 FOUR-YEAR DEGREE AND THE

01:44 - 00.870 DENTISTS WHO CAN DO A LOT OF

01:45 - 01.505 THE PROCEDURES SO THAT THE

01:45 - 03.740 DENTIST THEMSELVES CAN ROTATE

01:45 - 05.475 IN RURAL COMMUNITIES. SO SHE'S

01:45 - 07.543 IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING THAT

01:45 - 08.611 UP. WE'RE NOT AS FAR ALONG AS

01:45 - 09.512 TEMPLE US, BUT ALL OF HER PLANS

01:45 - 10.246 ARE UNDER WAY. AND WE THINK

01:45 - 10.914 THIS WILL MAKE A REALLY BIG

01:45 - 13.816 DIFFERENCE IN UNDERSERVED AREAS

01:45 - 14.785 FOR ORAL CARE.

01:45 - 17.720 AND WHAT I WOULD ADD, I THINK

01:45 - 18.689 THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT

01:45 - 21.190 AMAKA IS IS THAT A REPLICABLE

01:45 - 22.325 MODEL FOR DENTAL CARE IN RURAL

01:45 - 25.161 AREAS. WE BELIEVE IT WILL BREAK

01:45 - 26.896 EVEN BY THE END OF YEAR, TOO.

01:45 - 27.564 AND SO THE QUESTION IS AFTER

01:45 - 31.000 GOING THROUGH THE SORT OF

01:45 - 33.903 INITIAL WORK. AND WE TAKE THAT

01:45 - 35.705 MODEL AND PERHAPS CONSIDER

01:45 - 36.939 OTHER AREAS THAT ARE MOTIVATED

01:45 - 37.608 LIKE TO MOCK LAW TO PARTNER

01:45 - 39.809 WITH US HOPEFULLY ANSWER IS

01:45 - 41.711 GOING TO BE S WE DON'T WANT TO

01:45 - 43.279 OVEREXTEND OURSELVES UNTIL WE

01:45 - 44.013 ACTUALLY GET INTO THE WORK ONCE

01:45 - 44.615 WE DO IT. AND IF WE HAVE

01:45 - 46.382 SOMETHING THAT'S REPLICABLE,

01:45 - 47.051 WE'RE HAPPY TO TALK TO OTHER

01:45 - 49.285 COMMUNITIES ABOUT BRINGING IT

01:45 - 50.286 TO THEM.

01:45 - 53.256 I THINK THAT'S GREAT. AND MY

01:45 - 56.259 UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE

01:45 - 57.293 PROGRAM AT PITT IS ALSO A

01:45 - 57.861 ASPIRING TO BE SORT OF

01:45 - 00.196 SELF-SUSTAINING. AND IN THAT

01:46 - 01.197 WAY, YES, EXACTLY IT. THAT IT

01:46 - 02.665 SHOULD BE NEUTRAL ONCE IT GETS

01:46 - 03.400 GOING, THERE'S A LIFT TO GET IT

01:46 - 06.369 GOING EXACTLY. AS PRESIDENT

01:46 - 07.403 FREY DESCRIBED, BUT IT SHOULD

01:46 - 10.907 BE SELF-SUSTAINING FINANCIALLY,

01:46 - 11.474 BUT ALSO IT SHOULD BE

01:46 - 12.041 SELF-SUSTAINING FROM A

01:46 - 12.743 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT POINT OF

01:46 - 15.378 VIEW BECAUSE

01:46 - 16.146 THE MORE WE.

01:46 - 18.281 IN ALL AREAS, THE MORE YOU

01:46 - 19.016 EDUCATE PEOPLE LOCALLY IN THEIR

01:46 - 20.717 COMMUNITY, THE MORE LIKELY THEY

01:46 - 21.452 ARE TO STAY IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

01:46 - 26.022 AND THIS WE EXPECT TO BE A

01:46 - 26.590 PRIME EXAMPLE OF THAT.

01:46 - 29.625 RIGHT. AND JUST TO UNDERLINE

01:46 - 30.260 THAT LEADERSHIP AND OKLA.

01:46 - 31.928 THEY'VE BEEN HEROES. THEY'VE

01:46 - 35.231 DRIVEN US. THEY'VE HAD THE

01:46 - 35.898 VISION WHERE WHERE HAPPY TO

01:46 - 36.600 PARTNER WITH THEM. BUT THEY'VE

01:46 - 37.767 BEEN DRIVING THIS. THEY'VE BEEN

01:46 - 39.602 RAISING MONEY. THEY'VE GONE

01:46 - 40.204 PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDS

01:46 - 43.239 TOGETHER. AND WITHOUT THAT, IT

01:46 - 44.207 WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.

01:46 - 44.907 THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE

01:46 - 45.476 EFFORTS ON THIS REALLY

01:46 - 47.977 ESSENTIAL AREA. THANK YOU, MR.

01:47 - 04.360 MIGHT GET THOSE. I DO. I DO

01:47 - 07.463 ENJOY READING THEM. YOU MENTION

01:47 - 08.064 IN THERE ABOUT THE STATE

01:47 - 08.766 APPROPRIATION GOING TO INVEST

01:47 - 11.167 IN PA RESIDENT STUDENTS?

01:47 - 13.569 I THINK YOU MENTIONED 41,000 PA

01:47 - 17.573 UNDERGRADS, 19,000, A FIRST

01:47 - 19.575 AND THEIR FAMILY TO ATTEND

01:47 - 20.277 COLLEGE 60% OF YOU KNOW, PENN

01:47 - 22.645 STATE'S ENROLLMENT ARE

01:47 - 25.014 PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS.

01:47 - 25.682 A LOT OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE

01:47 - 27.917 FOUND AT OUR 7 COMMONWEALTH

01:47 - 29.018 CAMPUSES ON IS IN MY DISTRICT

01:47 - 29.753 IN. AND YOU MENTIONED THAT, YOU

01:47 - 33.222 KNOW, PENN STATE IS IS A

01:47 - 34.424 GATEWAY TO OPPORTUNITY, BUT IT

01:47 - 35.124 LOOKS LIKE THAT GATEWAYS BE

01:47 - 35.726 CLOSED AT THE 7 AT THE 7

01:47 - 38.895 UNIVERSITIES. HOW HOW DO WE

01:47 - 39.596 RECONCILE THAT AS WE'RE GOING

01:47 - 41.030 THROUGH THE APPROPRIATIONS

01:47 - 42.465 PROCESS, HOW DO WE RECONCILE,

01:47 - 44.534 YOU KNOW, APPROPRIATING MONEY

01:47 - 45.735 TO PENN STATE FOR THIS MISSION

01:47 - 47.503 WHEN IT'S BEING DISCONTINUED.

01:47 - 53.009 ITS 7 CAMPUSES. I THINK THE

01:47 - 57.380 I CANNOT DENY HOW PAINFUL IT

01:47 - 58.148 IS TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE

01:47 - 00.216 INDIVIDUALS. THERE IS NOTHING I

01:48 - 01.284 CAN SAY THAT MAKES THEM GO AWAY

01:48 - 01.819 BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. I

01:48 - 03.019 ACKNOWLEDGE IT. IT'S A VERY

01:48 - 06.856 DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE.

01:48 - 08.958 SO I WILL TELL YOU AND THE LACK

01:48 - 11.093 OF POPULATION IN THOSE CAMPS IN

01:48 - 11.728 THOSE AREAS MAKES IT VERY

01:48 - 13.329 EXPENSIVE TO PICK PENN STATE

01:48 - 16.265 DEGREE TO BE THERE. WE ARE

01:48 - 20.870 WORKING VERY HARD. I TOLD YOU

01:48 - 21.637 WE GET LESS TODAY. EVEN IN

01:48 - 22.372 NOMINAL DOLLARS, NOT ACCOUNTING

01:48 - 26.275 FOR INFLATION COMPARED TO THE

01:48 - 28.244 YEAR 2000. I WILL SAY THE OTHER

01:48 - 29.412 THINGS WE ARE DOING. LET ME

01:48 - 30.947 TELL YOU THIS. STRENGTHENING

01:48 - 31.648 THE OTHER COMMUNITIES IN MONT

01:48 - 33.516 ALTO WHEN WORKING WITH THE

01:48 - 34.117 COMMUNITIES ON WHAT THE

01:48 - 36.419 ALTERNATIVES ARE, WHAT THESE

01:48 - 37.087 ALLOWING US TO DO, THIS

01:48 - 40.256 DIFFICULT DECISION IS TO MAKE

01:48 - 41.657 SURE THAT IN STAFF.

01:48 - 42.792 HAVING PROGRAM SO COMMUNITIES

01:48 - 44.827 THAT ARE NOT STRONG, THAT THAT

01:48 - 47.029 ABLE TO INVEST MORE RURAL

01:48 - 49.665 HEALTH. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

01:48 - 50.334 WE HAVE A PROGRAM NOW, SIR,

01:48 - 54.704 CALLED PC MEDIC. WE'VE JUST

01:48 - 56.772 ROLLED OUT FREY, MEATY CARE,

01:48 - 57.406 EMERGENCY MEDICINE. IF YOU

01:48 - 58.141 WOULD THINK ABOUT THAT IN EVERY

01:48 - 00.142 LITTLE COUNTY, HOW DO WE HAVE

01:49 - 03.379 SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP AND THE

01:49 - 04.981 VERY FACT THAT STILL?

01:49 - 08.184 WE HAVE THIS MANY STUDENTS THAT

01:49 - 08.852 WE EDUCATE IS WHY WE BELIEVE

01:49 - 11.420 WE'RE BEING A GOOD PARTNER TO

01:49 - 12.154 THE COMMONWEALTH.

01:49 - 12.822 WELL, SO THERE'S A COUPLE

01:49 - 13.490 THINGS TO UNPACK WITH THAT.

01:49 - 14.891 FIRST OF ALL, FRANKLIN COUNTY

01:49 - 17.593 IS ACTUALLY GROWING IN

01:49 - 19.462 POPULATION. YOUR OWN STUDY

01:49 - 20.062 DEMONSTRATED THAT TEMPLE

01:49 - 21.030 RECEIVES OBVIOUSLY LESS THAN

01:49 - 21.632 PENN STATE, BUT THEY'RE

01:49 - 24.534 EXPANDING SERVICES AND

01:49 - 25.235 EXPANDING PROGRAMS. SO AGAIN,

01:49 - 27.670 AGAIN, A DIFFICULT THING TO

01:49 - 28.905 RECONCILE HERE. BUT PEOPLE JUST

01:49 - 29.606 JUST MOVING FORWARD A LITTLE

01:49 - 33.376 BIT. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE DON'T

01:49 - 34.110 WANT TO RELITIGATE WHAT'S GOING

01:49 - 34.778 ON, EVEN THOUGH WE OBVIOUSLY

01:49 - 37.813 HAVE SOME SOME DIFFERENCES ON

01:49 - 38.549 THAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS PENN

01:49 - 40.416 STATE'S OBLIGATION TO THESE

01:49 - 41.551 CAMPUSES IN THESE COMMUNITIES

01:49 - 44.754 THAT ARE AFFECTED GOING

01:49 - 45.855 FORWARD? GREAT QUESTION.

01:49 - 46.657 AND ONCE AGAIN, I WOULD

01:49 - 50.860 REMIND YOU THAT PENN STATE

01:49 - 51.761 STILL GETS HALF AS MUCH AS

01:49 - 52.429 TEMPLE AND PUT OUR STUDENTS.

01:49 - 54.564 SO THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT

01:49 - 56.365 HAVE ACCUMULATED OVER DECADES

01:49 - 59.268 FOR THE REST OF THE CAMPUS IS

01:49 - 59.970 THIS IS THE COMMITMENT WE HAVE

01:49 - 02.805 MADE. WE HAVE THESE TO BE

01:50 - 03.507 INDIVIDUALS MEETING WITH YOU.

01:50 - 04.707 I KNOW THAT MET WITH THE

01:50 - 06.642 REPRESENTATIVES NEEDS AREA

01:50 - 08.477 MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITIES

01:50 - 10.179 TIME TO BRING IN PRIVATE AND

01:50 - 11.547 PUBLIC PARTNERS BECAUSE WE WANT

01:50 - 13.683 THESE COMMUNITIES TO BE STRUCK.

01:50 - 19.989 WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO IT

01:50 - 20.723 IT'S IT'S A TOUGH DECISION THAT

01:50 - 21.425 HAVE TO BE MADE BECAUSE OF ALL

01:50 - 26.829 OF THE DATA THAT I GAVE YOU

01:50 - 28.564 SO WHEN JUNE 27, 2027 ROLLS

01:50 - 30.132 AROUND IN JULY. WE'RE NOT GOING

01:50 - 30.867 TO HAVE CAMPUSES OVERGROWN WITH

01:50 - 32.568 WEEDS. I MEAN, IT'S IT'S I

01:50 - 33.303 MEAN, THESE ARE GOING TO SPEAK.

01:50 - 35.237 ABANDONED FACILITIES. I MEAN,

01:50 - 38.274 THERE'S THERE'S GOING TO BE

01:50 - 39.209 A PERPETUAL PENN STATE PRESENCE

01:50 - 41.010 AND INVOLVEMENT UNTIL THERE

01:50 - 44.046 IS A WARM TURNOVER FOR EACH

01:50 - 44.413 INDIVIDUAL

01:50 - 45.215 INSTITUTION.

01:50 - 48.184 WE ARE WORKING SO HARD AND IN

01:50 - 48.885 THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, HOPEFULLY

01:50 - 50.920 YOU WILL SEE WHAT THEY ARE.

01:50 - 51.621 WHY I THINK AT LEAST ON WE'RE

01:50 - 52.321 VERY FORTUNATE WITH THAT WITH

01:50 - 53.156 OUR PLAN AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE

01:50 - 57.426 THERE. BUT CAN YOU COMMIT TO

01:50 - 57.995 US THAT THERE WILL BE

01:50 - 59.095 MAINTENANCE SAID, YOU KNOW,

01:50 - 02.031 THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SORT

01:51 - 03.132 OF CONTINUAL PENN STATE

01:51 - 04.667 INVOLVEMENT IN EACH OF THESE

01:51 - 05.369 CAMPUSES UNTIL THERE IS A WARM

01:51 - 09.205 TRANSITION FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE

01:51 - 10.106 OF THEM. YES.

01:51 - 22.019 HANDS OF WHO HAS GENERAL

01:53 - 30.079 KNOW ANY OTHER PRESIDENTS

01:53 - 30.814 REGARDING HOW CRITICAL THIS

01:53 - 33.883 FUNDING IS, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT

01:53 - 35.417 OF

01:53 - 37.820 FLAT LINED UNCERTAIN FEDERAL

01:53 - 40.923 FUNDING IT'LL BE JUST GREAT

01:53 - 45.929 AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING

01:53 - 48.531 LEGISLATION AND ALSO FOR AT.

01:53 - 49.199 THE WAY WE'RE ABLE TO COPE,

01:53 - 53.769 PARTICIPATE IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT

01:53 - 55.004 AND ROLL OUT OF THAT

01:53 - 59.208 LEGISLATION. SO I THINK THAT

01:53 - 59.943 WHEN YOU SEE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT

01:53 - 04.313 FOR WORKING COLLABORATIVELY.

01:54 - 06.115 WITH YOUR ELITE COMMITTED

01:54 - 10.553 RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS TO SOLVE

01:54 - 11.187 ONE OF THE BIGGEST HEALTH

01:54 - 11.855 CARE QUESTIONS. AND WE HAVE

01:54 - 14.256 THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF

01:54 - 14.990 DISEASES.

01:54 - 15.592 THERE'S NO ONE WHO'S NOT

01:54 - 16.992 TOUCHED BY SOMEONE WITH

01:54 - 18.961 ALZHEIMER'S IN THEIR FAMILY.

01:54 - 21.363 THOSE OF US WHO HAVE SOMEONE

01:54 - 23.566 THAT WE LOVE OR CARE ABOUT

01:54 - 26.502 WHO'S HAD ALS KNOW THAT THIS IS

01:54 - 27.204 JUST AN ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING

01:54 - 29.705 DIAGNOSIS, PARKINSON'S. IT

01:54 - 31.173 MEANS THAT THESE ARE.

01:54 - 35.244 PERVASIVE, SYSTEMIC SOCIETAL

01:54 - 36.178 CHALLENGES THAT HAVE

01:54 - 36.745 FUNDAMENTAL IMPACT ON.

01:54 - 37.480 OBVIOUSLY THE PEOPLE DIAGNOSED,

01:54 - 39.348 BUT OF COURSE, ALSO THEIR

01:54 - 40.016 FAMILIES AND THE HEALTH CARE

01:54 - 44.220 SYSTEM. IT SEEKS TO TAKE CARE

01:54 - 46.789 OF THEM AND SOME OF THE MOST

01:54 - 47.357 COMPELLING, REALLY AND

01:54 - 50.025 CLINICIANS AND SCIENTISTS IN

01:54 - 51.293 THE WORLD WORKING ON THEM.

01:54 - 53.429 REALLY CARE AND WANT TO SEE

01:54 - 58.901 THESE PROBLEMS SOLVED. AND SO

01:54 - 59.535 WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO.

01:54 - 00.169 PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THEM,

01:55 - 00.871 OBVIOUSLY THAT MAKES THEM MORE

01:55 - 03.272 ABLE TO DO THE WORK. BUT WHEN

01:55 - 04.173 WE

01:55 - 04.908 PROVIDE THAT FUNDING IN THE WAY

01:55 - 08.010 YOU DID THAT SHOW SUPPORT FOR

01:55 - 09.044 WHAT THEY'RE DOING WHEN WE WERE

01:55 - 10.846 TALKING EARLIER, WE SAID A LOT

01:55 - 11.780 OF THESE PEOPLE ARE IN A DARK

01:55 - 12.415 LAB WITH THEIR FACE AND A

01:55 - 16.085 MICROSCOPE ALL DAY LONG.

01:55 - 17.086 JUST TRYING TO AT THE CELLULAR

01:55 - 18.754 LEVEL SOLVE SOMETHING THAT

01:55 - 21.790 CAUSES SO MUCH PAIN AND

01:55 - 23.559 DESTRUCTION.

01:55 - 24.261 YOU KNOW, THEY PICK THEIR HEAD

01:55 - 27.329 UP AND HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU

01:55 - 28.631 THAT THIS MATTERS. IT'S REALLY

01:55 - 30.766 IMPORTANT AND THAT WE WANT TO

01:55 - 32.768 WORK TOGETHER TO TRY AND SOLVE

01:55 - 33.569 IT. THE AFTER EFFECT OF THAT,

01:55 - 34.271 IN ADDITION TO THE COMPETITIVE

01:55 - 36.538 GRANT PROCESS THAT YOU ALL

01:55 - 38.674 CREATED AND FUNDED, IT'S NOW

01:55 - 41.543 WE'RE HEARING FROM FOUNDATIONS.

01:55 - 43.279 WE'RE HEARING FROM

01:55 - 44.047 PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERS. PEOPLE

01:55 - 47.783 LIKE GARY COOPER, WHO YOU ALL

01:55 - 48.884 KNOW WHO DOES WORK ON ASSISTIVE

01:55 - 50.085 TECHNOLOGIES. SIGNIFICANT GRANT

01:55 - 51.787 FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

01:55 - 52.489 THAT RELATES DIRECTLY TO THESE

01:55 - 54.657 PHYSICAL COMBINATIONS THAT YOU

01:55 - 57.026 NEED IN LIGHT OF THAT PHYSICAL

01:55 - 59.962 IMPACTS OF THESE DISEASES.

01:55 - 00.797 IT'S WHAT RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES

01:56 - 02.898 WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE

01:56 - 04.600 LEGISLATURE ABLE TO DO SO.

01:56 - 07.803 WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL. AND WHERE

01:56 - 08.538 I'M ABLE TO FEEL IT'S SOMETHING

01:56 - 10.306 THAT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT SPACE

01:56 - 13.442 TO FIND THAT OPTIMISM.

01:56 - 14.944 AND THEN TO SAID THAT.

01:56 - 15.612 WITH THE STATE INVESTING IN

01:56 - 18.414 THAT RESEARCH ON THESE LARGE

01:56 - 19.281 RESEARCH CAMPUSES.

01:56 - 19.983 HOPES TO REPLACE SOME OF THE

01:56 - 23.786 FUNDING THAT WENT AWAY FROM THE

01:56 - 25.454 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ALLOW

01:56 - 27.423 RESEARCH IS THAT TEMPLE DIDN'T

01:56 - 28.091 PAN TO TAKE STUDENTS FROM A

01:56 - 31.193 PLACE LIKE LYNN UNIVERSITY IN

01:56 - 33.896 PROVIDE AN THAT DIRECT

01:56 - 34.531 INSTRUCTION, UNDERGRADUATE

01:56 - 39.435 RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY. AND SO I

01:56 - 40.170 THINK IT REPLACES VERY CRITICAL

01:56 - 42.137 EXPERIENCE. NOT JUST ON THOSE

01:56 - 43.639 CAMPUSES. WILL THOSE

01:56 - 44.407 RESEARCHES, BUT WHAT A GREAT

01:56 - 46.375 LIKE THAT CAN DO TO BRING

01:56 - 48.377 STUDENTS FROM OF THE CAMPUSES

01:56 - 51.447 TO BE A PART OF THAT REALLY,

01:56 - 52.348 REALLY, VERY IMPORTANT

01:56 - 53.148 RESEARCH. AND PLEASE

01:56 - 53.883 UNDERSTAND, TOO, THAT THESE

01:56 - 56.652 KIND OF INVESTMENTS BY THE

01:56 - 57.253 COMMONWEALTH ALSO DRIVE.

01:56 - 59.421 SIGNIFICANT PHILANTHROPY WE

01:57 - 18.007 AGAIN, I APPRECIATE THAT.

01:57 - 18.708 I REMEMBER AND I WAS DIAGNOSED

01:57 - 22.378 WITH ALS AND WAS DECLINING.

01:57 - 23.146 I KNEW THAT THERE WERE JUST

01:57 - 25.381 THE WORLD-CLASS RESEARCHERS

01:57 - 28.517 AROUND THE WORLD.

01:57 - 31.253 TRYING TO SAVE HIS AND

01:57 - 32.388 OTHER LIVES AND TO GET A CHANCE

01:57 - 33.123 TO TO HELP IN THEIR MISSION AND

01:57 - 36.158 TO MEET THEM PERSONALLY AND SEE

01:57 - 39.561 THEM IN THERE CLOSET SIZE.

01:57 - 41.430 LAB LABORATORIES WAS WAS A REAL

01:57 - 44.299 FULL CIRCLE. SPECIAL MOMENT.

01:57 - 45.001 SO THANK YOU ALL. WE THANK THE

01:57 - 47.436 GENTLEMAN. REPRESENTATIVE

01:57 - 48.470 BROWN.

01:57 - 49.105 THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN. AND

01:57 - 51.507 THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE

01:57 - 54.209 TODAY. I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN

01:57 - 56.278 BY TALKING ABOUT PENN STATE'S

01:57 - 57.546 TUITION. AND AS IT RELATES TO

01:57 - 00.449 THE OTHER PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES

01:58 - 03.218 IN THE BIG 10 CONFERENCE, PENN

01:58 - 03.953 STATE HAS THE HIGHEST TUITION

01:58 - 09.158 OF THOSE 16 UNIVERSITIES AT

01:58 - 12.294 20,000, $468 FOR A FIRST-YEAR

01:58 - 14.530 RESIDENT ON MAIN CAMPUS.

01:58 - 15.198 OHIO STATE'S CLOSEST TO THE

01:58 - 20.169 MEDIAN WHERE THE SAME STUDENT

01:58 - 21.904 WOULD BE CHARGED

01:58 - 26.542 $13,641. A DIFFERENCE OF 6,827.

01:58 - 30.646 OHIO STATE DOES RECEIVE MORE

01:58 - 35.584 STATE FUNDING PER STUDENT THAN

01:58 - 38.053 PENN STATE OR $10,931

01:58 - 39.988 FOR OHIO VERSUS 5,796 FOR PENN

01:58 - 43.959 STATE. THAT'S A DIFFERENCE OF

01:58 - 45.494 5,100. AND 35.

01:58 - 47.362 SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE

01:58 - 49.465 DIFFERENCE IN TUITION IS

01:58 - 50.299 LARGER. AND THE DIFFERENCE IN

01:58 - 51.134 STATE FUNDING PER STUDENT.

01:58 - 54.236 SO I WOULD LIKE TO SPECIFICALLY

01:58 - 56.905 UNDERSTAND.

01:58 - 58.440 WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THAT HIGHER

01:58 - 01.276 TUITION SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER

01:59 - 04.379 TUITION HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH

01:59 - 05.414 YOU WITH MORE DETAILS

01:59 - 07.349 AS WELL.

01:59 - 08.318 AND STATE THE DEFENSE HAS

01:59 - 11.220 BEEN OVER DECADES. AND SO YOU

01:59 - 12.155 CAN IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

01:59 - 14.256 TODAY. WE JUST KEPT UP WITH

01:59 - 17.259 INFLATION. WE WOULD RECEIVE

01:59 - 19.361 OVER 200 MILLION MORE THAN WE

01:59 - 20.629 USED TO WITH 10,000 FEWER

01:59 - 21.331 STUDENTS. AS YOU KNOW, IT'S A

01:59 - 23.465 PART OF THAT IS THE DEFERRED

01:59 - 24.500 MAINTENANCE QUESTIONS THAT YOU

01:59 - 27.803 ASKED THE WAYS THAT WE WOULD

01:59 - 29.671 INVEST IN THIS BIG, WHAT BRAND

01:59 - 31.507 HAS HAD AN IMPACT. MADAM, THE

01:59 - 35.577 OTHER THING THAT I WOULD SAY

01:59 - 36.412 IS THAT PENN STATE IS IN ALL

01:59 - 37.980 67 COUNTIES AND THAT IS NOT

01:59 - 38.615 TYPICAL. EVEN FOR AN OHIO

01:59 - 43.652 STATE. SO A LOT OF THINGS THAT

01:59 - 45.621 WE DO. WE ARE ALSO

01:59 - 47.489 EXTRAORDINARILY MINDFUL OF

01:59 - 48.224 CONTROLLING TUITION WHILE IT IS

01:59 - 49.324 HIGH AND IT WOULD EASE ME.

01:59 - 53.495 WE PUT SO MUCH INTO IN STATE

01:59 - 56.598 NEED AND AND

01:59 - 59.568 JUST THING FOR INFLATION.

01:59 - 00.469 STUDENTS TODAY ARE PAYING $1000

02:00 - 01.171 LESS THAN THEY USED TO EVEN 10

02:00 - 04.306 YEARS AGO. THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE

02:00 - 05.440 HAD DONE. PLEASE KNOW THAT IN

02:00 - 07.209 ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE,

02:00 - 07.809 SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS.

02:00 - 08.444 IT'S HARD FOR ME TO ANSWER

02:00 - 11.113 BECAUSE I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE.

02:00 - 11.748 COMING UP ON 4 YEARS. SO I

02:00 - 14.783 DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF MANY

02:00 - 16.718 OF THESE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU

02:00 - 17.719 THAT ON OUR COMMONWEALTH

02:00 - 19.821 CAMPUSES, WE HAVE NOT INCREASED

02:00 - 23.692 TUITION. ONE ADULT THE VOTE FOR

02:00 - 24.460 THE SPINE. PDA AND EVEN AT

02:00 - 26.328 UNIVERSITY PARK. WE'RE TRYING

02:00 - 30.098 TO KEEP ITS SUB INFLATION.

02:00 - 30.900 THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE IS THE AT

02:00 - 33.101 OPEN-ACCESS MISSION THAT WE

02:00 - 37.139 HAVE. I WOULD TELL YOU THIS,

02:00 - 37.773 OHIO STATE HAS 4 CAMPUSES.

02:00 - 38.474 COMMONWEALTH CAMPUSES, IF YOU

02:00 - 41.109 WILL, LIKE OUR IDEA BEYOND THE

02:00 - 41.844 MAIN CAMPUS AND THEY'RE TALKING

02:00 - 46.882 ABOUT 40'S TOO MANY. WHAT CAN

02:00 - 47.950 WE DO? THAT'S THE REALITY.

02:00 - 48.784 AND STATES. IT'S A COMPLICATED

02:00 - 49.552 THING, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEND

02:00 - 51.386 YOU MORE DETAILS SO YOU CAN

02:00 - 55.324 LOOK FOR YOURSELF. HOW ARE THE

02:00 - 56.658 PROFILES DIFFERENT? WHAT IS THE

02:00 - 58.327 FINANCE TO BE? WHAT IS THE

02:00 - 00.395 ENDOWMENT WHITE IT GET THERE?

02:01 - 01.430 SO ONE MORE ASPECT I WOULD TELL

02:01 - 04.566 YOU IN TERMS OF WHAT WE DO TO

02:01 - 05.068 KEEP TUITION LOW.

02:01 - 08.036 I DO NOT KNOW. YOU KNOW, IT'S

02:01 - 10.072 HISTORIC.

02:01 - 12.874 BOLD, OHIO STATE AND OTHER

02:01 - 13.810 OTHER UNIVERSITIES IN THE BIG

02:01 - 14.977 10, THEIR CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS

02:01 - 18.080 TO BUILD UP THE ENDOWMENT WAR

02:01 - 18.781 CHEST, IF YOU WILL, FROM WHICH

02:01 - 22.084 WE GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS FROM WHICH

02:01 - 22.785 WE CAN CONTROL ABOUT 100 YEARS

02:01 - 26.088 OLD. ARE THEY STARTED BEFORE

02:01 - 27.389 WE DID SO IT'S A COMPLICATED

02:01 - 28.124 ISSUE. IT'S SOMETHING I WRESTLE

02:01 - 31.994 WITH. I'M DEEPLY COMMITTED.

02:01 - 34.863 TO TRY TO KEEP TUITION LOW.

02:01 - 35.564 IT'S TRULY THE ACCESS MISSION

02:01 - 36.232 AND THE ONE PLACE, YOU KNOW,

02:01 - 39.434 THAT THAT THAT WE'RE TRYING

02:01 - 41.536 TO MAINTAIN, WE WOULD LOVE YOUR

02:01 - 42.671 SUPPORT IN DOING THAT. THAT

02:01 - 45.274 DETAIL TO OUR CONSTITUENTS

02:01 - 45.974 BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE PLAN IS

02:01 - 46.942 TO KEEP TUITIONS LOW FOR

02:01 - 47.543 STUDENTS AND THAT IS NOT

02:01 - 50.045 HAPPENING.

02:01 - 51.380 IN YOUR SITUATION SO MAYBE WE

02:01 - 52.015 WILL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT

02:01 - 55.117 DETAIL. I MAY I SEE ONE THING

02:01 - 55.652 ABOUT THAT.

02:01 - 58.854 EVERY DOLLAR YOU GIVE US COAST,

02:01 - 59.355 IN-STATE TUITION.

02:01 - 01.290 I DISCOUNT THAT WE PROVIDE.

02:02 - 02.691 THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE ON TOP

02:02 - 03.892 OF WHAT YOU GIVE PENN STATE

02:02 - 06.962 PUTS IN.

02:02 - 08.897 OVER.

02:02 - 09.565 YOU KNOW, 15,000 TO TRY TO

02:02 - 12.501 KEEP, YOU KNOW, DISCOUNT TO

02:02 - 13.403 TRY TO KEEP IN-STATE TUITION

02:02 - 15.370 UP. WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT.

02:02 - 18.573 THERE SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANT

02:02 - 19.608 SAVINGS WITH ALL THE CAMPUS

02:02 - 20.309 CLOSES. SO THAT ALSO IMPACTED

02:02 - 21.010 MOVING FORWARD. I WOULD THINK.

02:02 - 24.713 BUT WE NEED TO SWITCH GEARS

02:02 - 25.515 REAL QUICKLY. IN FEBRUARY, THE
