00:33 - MILLION DOLLAR PROPOSAL FOR THE

00:36 - FISCAL YEAR FOR COMMUNITY

00:40 - DOLLARS FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL

01:48 - PRESIDENT OF SLIPPERY ROCK

01:49 - BEING HERE. WE APPRECIATE YOUR

01:50 - PRESENCE. I DO WANT TO MAKE

01:51 - MENTION, THOUGH, THAT THE STATE

01:56 - SENATE. GOT THE PRESIDENT.

01:58 - OF MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY

01:58 - DURING THEIR BUDGET HEARING.

02:02 - I WANT ASK QUESTIONS ON HOW OR

02:03 - WHY THAT HAPPENED. I JUST WANT

02:06 - VERY CLEAR. MILLERSVILLE IS THE

02:07 - HARVARD OF THE STATE SYSTEM.

02:11 - THERE ARE AT LEAST AS I LOOK

02:13 - THERE, AT LEAST 2 MILITANT

02:15 - GRADS RIGHT HERE ON THIS

02:15 - COMMITTEE. SO I'M JUST PUT THAT

02:18 - OUT THERE. AND WE. LOVE KNOWS

02:23 - ANYWAY. WE'LL START.

02:25 - THANK WAY. AND WE HAVE A

02:25 - STUDENT AT MILLERSVILLE RIGHT

02:27 - NOW. RIGHT?

02:28 - I THINK THERE IS AND FELLOW.

02:35 - IS THE WORST YET. THIS IS HE'S

02:38 - A STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT OF

02:39 - MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY'S A

02:39 - FELLOW AND APPROPRIATE CALL.

02:47 - WE'LL GET STARTED WITH

02:49 - REPRESENTATIVES.

02:49 - CAN KATE, THANK YOU, MISTER

02:50 - CHAIRMAN. I AM PROUD BLOOMSBURG

02:52 - GRADUATE.

02:59 - I ACTUALLY THINK THAT CHAIRMAN

03:00 - FROM INDIANA AG WOODS SET THIS

03:01 - UP VERY NICELY BECAUSE MY FIRST

03:05 - QUESTION

03:06 - THERE'S A BIG DISCREPANCY

03:09 - BETWEEN WHAT YOUR PROPOSED

03:10 - BUDGETS WERE AND WHAT THE

03:10 - GOVERNOR PROPOSED. AND CAN YOU

03:13 - EXPLAIN THAT? CERTAINLY A START

03:18 - THANK YOU FOR THE.

03:19 - BOARD OF GOVERNORS IS

03:21 - REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A BUDGET

03:24 - REQUEST IN OCTOBER.

03:27 - AND WE WE WORK IN AND DID

03:28 - SUBMIT THAT. AND WE TOOK A LOOK

03:31 - AT OUR SITUATION AND

03:32 - DETERMINED THAT THE 5% INCREASE

03:34 - THAT WE REQUESTED WOULD ENABLE

03:37 - US TO KEEP TUITION AT THE SAME

03:39 - LEVEL INTO THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

03:41 - SO WE'RE INCURRING COST

03:43 - INCREASES AND AND OTHER

03:46 - FACTORS. AND WE FELT THAT THAT

03:46 - A 5% INCREASE OF LESS THAN WHAT

03:49 - WE HAD REQUESTED THE PREVIOUS

03:52 - YEAR AND REQUIRES US TO 2 FOCUS

03:54 - ON KEEPING OUR BELTS TIGHT.

03:57 - WE SAW SOME IMPROVEMENT IN

03:58 - RETENTION AND RETENTION, OF

03:59 - COURSE, MEANS MORE STUDENTS ARE

04:00 - STAYING. SO THEREFORE, THERE'S

04:02 - AN ADDITIONAL REVENUE OVER WHAT

04:06 - WE HAD EXPECTED. AND SO WE FELT

04:07 - THAT 5% WOULD WOULD PUT US IN A

04:08 - POSITION TO BE ABLE TO HOLD

04:10 - TUITION LEVEL.

04:12 - WE STILL HAVE THAT POSITION.

04:13 - WE UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES

04:16 - THAT ARE IT JUST IN IN THE

04:16 - CURRENT BUDGET AND UNDERSTAND

04:18 - THE GOVERNOR'S DECISION.

04:21 - WE

04:22 - FEEL THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE

04:24 - STATE SYSTEM OF HIGHER

04:25 - EDUCATION IS AN INVESTMENT IN

04:27 - THE FUTURE. THE COMMONWEALTH

04:29 - AND CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE HOPING

04:31 - THAT WE CAN GET SOME

04:31 - CONSIDERATION FOR INCREASE.

04:32 - IT WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD TUITION

04:34 - LEVEL IF WE WERE TO NOT GET

04:36 - FUNDING, WE WOULD HAVE TO STEP

04:37 - BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE

04:38 - FACTORS THAT EXIST AT THAT

04:42 - POINT IN TIME. I'M NOT GOING TO

04:43 - TO COMMIT RIGHT NOW TO SAY THAT

04:44 - WOULD MEAN THAT WE WOULD

04:46 - INCREASE TUITION BY SOME

04:48 - CERTAIN LEVEL. WE HAVE TO LOOK

04:49 - AT RETENTION. WE HAVE TO LOOK

04:50 - AT HOW THE ROMAN CHURCH AMPING

04:55 - UP FOR NEXT YEAR. FACTORS

04:55 - AROUND COST. WE'RE OPERATING

04:58 - THE UNIVERSITIES. AND OF

04:59 - COURSE, THIS PROCESS TAKES

05:02 - PLACE OVER MANY MONTHS AND BY

05:04 - JULY, WE WOULD HOPE TO BE IN A

05:05 - POSITION WHERE WE HAVE THE

05:05 - INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO BE

05:06 - ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WE'RE

05:07 - GOING TO DO NEXT. THANK YOU.

05:14 - FOR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES

05:15 - WHILE AND I'll REITERATE MY.

05:18 - COLLEAGUE'S COMMENTS ABOUT

05:19 - WE APPRECIATE.

05:19 - ANY CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING

05:20 - AND UNDERSTAND THE STATE'S

05:23 - BUDGET.

05:27 - WE DID ADVOCATE FOR THE 6%

05:29 - INCREASE BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT

05:32 - OUR BUDGETS AS THE 15 COMMUNITY

05:35 - COLLEGES, THE REVENUE AND

05:38 - EXPENSES AND THE GAP THAT WOULD

05:39 - BE IN PLACE IF WE DID NOT HAVE

05:42 - ADDITIONAL FUNDING. AND SINCE

05:44 - THE 3RD OF OUR FUNDING IS IS

05:46 - EXPECTED TO COME FROM THE

05:46 - STATE, WE DIVIDED ACTUALLY THAT

05:50 - BY 3. SO THIS IS JUST THE

05:52 - STATE'S PORTION OF THAT GAP

05:54 - BETWEEN REVENUE AND EXPENSES

05:56 - SINCE WE WERE FLAT FUNDED THIS

05:58 - YEAR AND REQUESTED AN INCREASE

06:01 - FOR THIS YEAR.

06:03 - BEING FLAT FUNDED NEXT YEAR

06:05 - WOULD JUST ADD TO THE SITUATION

06:07 - THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY AN WHICH

06:07 - IS WE HAD TO CURTAIL EXPENSES.

06:12 - AND ORDER TO MEET OUR BUDGETS

06:15 - AND OUR BOARDS DO REQUIRE THAT

06:19 - BALANCED BUDGET. SO IF THIS

06:20 - GOES INTO A SECOND YEAR, THERE

06:23 - WILL HAVE TO BE MORE CUTS TO

06:26 - EXPENSES AND WE DO NOT WANT TO

06:26 - IMPACT STUDENTS, SUCCESS OR

06:29 - ACCESS.

06:33 - CHANCELLOR'S RETIREMENT

06:35 - RETENTION. I THINK ONE OF THE

06:35 - THINGS WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT

06:38 - IS STUDENT SAFETY AND

06:42 - MORE. SO ABOUT GOOD

06:43 - SAMARITANS ON CAMPUS WHO TRY

06:44 - TO ACT AND THE BEST INTERESTS

06:47 - OF OTHER STUDENTS WHO MAY BE

06:50 - EXPERIENCING MEDICAL

06:51 - EMERGENCIES AT BLOOMSBURG.

06:52 - THERE WERE 2 STUDENTS WHO WERE

06:54 - CHARGED AFTER.

06:57 - ACTING AS GOOD SAMARITANS.

06:58 - THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DRINKING.

06:59 - THEY WERE NOT INVOLVED WITH

07:02 - WITH A A INCIDENT THAT LED TO

07:03 - THIS INDIVIDUAL'S ALCOHOL

07:03 - POISONING. AND YET THEY WERE

07:06 - THE ONLY PEOPLE CHARGED.

07:10 - I KNOW THAT HASHI HAS A

07:11 - POLICY PROTECTING GOOD

07:14 - SAMARITANS.

07:16 - SO MY QUESTION IS TWOFOLD.

07:19 - ONE.

07:20 - ARE YOU?

07:21 - ENDING THAT POLICY IN ANY WAY

07:23 - TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE

07:24 - PROTECTING STUDENTS WHO ACT

07:24 - IN GOOD FAITH TO HELP OTHERS.

07:30 - WHAT CONSEQUENCES ARE IN PLACE

07:31 - FOR CAMPUS. POLICE WHO DON'T

07:34 - ADHERE TO THOSE POLICIES.

07:37 - I RECALL THAT THE

07:38 - CONVERSATION WE HAD AROUND THAT

07:42 - I I'M WE HAVE TO REFRESH MY

07:43 - MEMORY ON SOME OF THE FACTS

07:45 - ASSOCIATED WITH IT. BUT

07:46 - GENERALLY SPEAKING, HAVING

07:47 - SERVED AS A PRESIDENT, WE HAVE

07:50 - A POLICE FORCE ON OUR CAMPUS

07:53 - AND THAT THE POLICE FORCE.

07:54 - IT'S A COMMISSION POLICE FORCE

07:57 - AND THEY MAY MAKE THE POLICE

07:59 - JUDGMENTS. THE PRESIDENT

08:01 - DOESN'T OVERRULED THE DECISIONS

08:01 - THAT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

08:03 - DECISIONS MADE BY POLICE.

08:07 - SO I WOULD IT'S A IT'S A

08:09 - COMPLEX SITUATION. I THINK THAT

08:11 - I THAT I FRANKLY I'M VERY

08:12 - SUPPORTIVE OF THE GOOD

08:15 - SAMARITAN.

08:17 - POLICY. OUR POLICY WAS ALL WAS

08:20 - THAT.

08:21 - WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR

08:24 - STUDENTS GOT HOME SAFELY IN

08:26 - BED. AND IF SOMEBODY HAPPENED

08:28 - TO HAVE CONSUMED ALCOHOL, WE

08:29 - WOULD MUCH RATHER THAT THEY

08:30 - NOT DECIDE TO STAY OUT

08:31 - SOMEWHERE SO THAT THEY DON'T

08:33 - GET CAUGHT AND INSTEAD WOULD

08:35 - WOULD COME HOME AND BE

08:36 - CONFIDENT THAT THEY COULD

08:39 - SAFELY GET TO BED. THAT'S BEEN

08:40 - THAT'S BEEN THE TYPICAL WAY

08:41 - THAT HE'S HANDLED ON THE

08:43 - CAMPUSES. BUT WHEN THE POLICE

08:44 - BECOME INVOLVED, IT BECOMES

08:45 - MORE COMPLEX. AND I ACTUALLY

08:46 - WOULD HAVE TO THE DIG INTO IT A

08:49 - LITTLE BIT TO SEE.

08:50 - WHERE THE WHERE THE POLICY ENDS

08:52 - AND WHERE THE LAW BEGINS AND

08:54 - AND TYPICALLY OUR UNDERSTANDING

08:56 - IS THAT THE LAW WITH TRUMP

08:59 - POLICY.

09:01 - SO SO I WOULD HAVE TO REALLY

09:02 - DIG INTO IT A LITTLE MORE TO

09:02 - BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A MORE

09:03 - DEFINITIVE ANSWER THAN THAT.

09:05 - BUT IN TERMS OF THE GOOD

09:06 - SAMARITAN POLICY, IT'S A GOOD

09:10 - POLICY WORKS AGAIN, I DON'T

09:12 - RECALL THE SPECIFIC

09:13 - CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED TO THE

09:15 - DECISION THAT WAS MADE. BUT

09:18 - BUT THE I LOOK INTO IT FURTHER.

09:21 - THANK YOU. AND I I WOULD

09:23 - APPRECIATE ACTUALLY HAVING

09:23 - FURTHER CONVERSATION WITH YOU

09:24 - ABOUT PAD, ENSURING THAT THE

09:25 - POLICY ACTUALLY DOES PROTECT

09:29 - TRULY GOOD SAMARITANS AND NOT

09:32 - JUST STUDENTS HAVE WHO HAVE

09:33 - IMBIBED ALCOHOL. THANK YOU.

09:34 - THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN,

09:34 - THANKS. JEN LADY REPRESENTATIVE

09:37 - NELSON. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

09:39 - WELCOME EVERYBODY. SPECIAL

09:40 - SHOUT OUT TO DR. STANLEY, IT'S

09:41 - GREAT TO SEE YOU UP THERE AT

09:44 - THAT TABLE AFTER WORKING.

09:44 - SO MANY YEARS TOGETHER IN

09:47 - WESTMORELAND COUNTY. I'M GOING

09:50 - TO BEGIN MY QUESTIONS WITH THE

09:50 - COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THEN WILL

09:52 - SHIFT OVER TO PASSION SIDE.

09:53 - SO WE REALLY WAS A NICE

09:55 - DOVETAIL BECAUSE YOU HAD

09:56 - MENTIONED THIS CONCEPT OF A

10:00 - 3RD, YOU KNOW, AND IN AN IDEAL

10:02 - WORLD COMMUNITY COMMUNITY

10:03 - COLLEGE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE

10:04 - FUNDED IN 3.30, RIGHT? IT'S A

10:06 - A 3RD FROM THE STATE. A 3RD

10:08 - FROM THE LOCAL OR COUNTY AND

10:12 - THEN A 3RD INTUITION.

10:15 - HOWEVER, REALITY DOES, YOU

10:16 - KNOW, RARELY ACHIEVES THAT

10:17 - IDEAL. SO CAN YOU TOUCH ON WHAT

10:20 - YOU'RE SEEING? THE ACTUAL

10:22 - COMMITMENT TO THAT. 3RD,

10:23 - 3003TH, 3003003TH IS FOR OUR

10:25 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES.

10:26 - CERTAINLY. AND IT'S GREAT TO

10:27 - SEE YOU AS WELL. YOU'RE DOING

10:29 - WELL.

10:33 - SO AND IN CODE FOR COMMUNITY

10:35 - COLLEGES, IT DOES STATE THE

10:36 - 3RD, A 3RD, A 3RD. IT'S YOU'VE

10:39 - LAID OUT.

10:41 - UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE THE CODE

10:44 - WAS ENACTED, THAT HAS NOT BEEN

10:45 - REALITY AND IS DIFFERENT FOR

10:48 - EACH PARTICULAR COLLEGE.

10:50 - AND DEPENDING ON THE SOURCE IS

10:53 - THAT COME FROM THE LOCAL

10:55 - COMMUNITY IS AND THEN THE

10:58 - TUITION. UNFORTUNATELY, AT

10:59 - THIS POINT, THESE STUDENTS ARE

11:02 - BEARING MUCH OF THE BURDEN OF

11:03 - ATTENDING A COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

11:06 - SO IT IS FORTUNATE THAT WE ARE

11:06 - SO AFFORDABLE, UNREASONABLE SO

11:07 - THAT WE'RE NOT LIMITING ACCESS.

11:13 - BUT IT IS ALSO DEPENDENT UPON

11:14 - THE PARTICULAR INSTITUTION AND

11:16 - AGAIN, THEIR LOCAL SUPPORT AND

11:17 - HOW THE STATE SUPPORT FACTORS

11:19 - INTO THAT. SURE, THAT'S GREAT

11:20 - BECAUSE AT LEAST MY

11:21 - UNDERSTANDING ROUGH NUMBERS.

11:24 - OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS

11:26 - THEY'RE THEY'RE NUMBER 2

11:27 - BIGGEST POPULATION. ABOUT

11:28 - 245,000 STUDENTS GIVE OR TAKE

11:31 - AN AND I THINK THAT WORKS OUT

11:33 - TO ABOUT $1000, A STUDENT.

11:33 - WE HAD THE STATE RELATED TO AN

11:35 - EARLIER AND THEY'RE GETTING

11:41 - 5, 6, 9, SO I UNDERSTAND THE

11:42 - RICK, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING

11:43 - ABLE TO FUND ONE OF THE

11:46 - BIGGEST, YOU KNOW, LOCAL

11:46 - PARTICIPATION AREAS. I'D LIKE

11:47 - TO SHIFT OVER TO THE PATCHY

11:51 - SIDE AND WE ASKED A SIMILAR

11:55 - LINE OF QUESTIONS WITH PAT WITH

11:57 - OUR STATE RELATED AND THAT WAS

12:01 - IN THE AREA OF OUR.

12:03 - SIP CODES ARE THE

12:04 - CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL

12:06 - PROGRAMS. YOU KNOW, WE WERE

12:09 - FORTUNATE BOTH CHAMBERS

12:09 - UNANIMOUSLY ENACTED TO GROW

12:11 - PA SCHOLARSHIPS AND I'M

12:13 - FORTUNATE TO SERVE ON THAT

12:14 - FIELD BOARD. BUT THERE SEEMS TO

12:18 - BE THIS SIP GAP CONUNDRUM,

12:20 - PARTICULARLY WITH PATCHY

12:23 - SCHOOLS. IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT

12:24 - 1700 STUDENTS THAT WERE

12:27 - INITIALLY AWARDED.

12:27 - THOSE $5,000 SCHOLARSHIPS WERE

12:30 - THEN.

12:32 - SAID, WELL, YOU MAY NOT

12:33 - QUALIFY, NOT BECAUSE OF THE

12:34 - STUDENTS ACTION, BUT BECAUSE OF

12:37 - ASHE'S DISCONNECT WITH THE

12:38 - SUPERCOACH. WHAT ARE WE DOING

12:40 - TO CORRECT THAT GAP? AND THIS

12:43 - IS THAT IT'S A SILLY PROBLEM.

12:47 - I'M AFRAID WE DON'T.

12:47 - CREATE THE CEP COACH. THEY

12:49 - ARE HANDED TO US BUT YOU CHOOSE

12:53 - THE SIP. COATS ARE.

12:54 - WHAT WE THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE

12:55 - CLASSIFIED WITHIN SHIP COACH.

12:58 - BUT WE WE CAN HAVE WITHIN THIS

13:01 - GREAT STRUCTURE OF THE CODES.

13:03 - THERE ARE 2 DIGIT CODES AND

13:03 - 62 CODES AND THERE ARE

13:05 - DIFFERENT LEVELS OF REFINEMENT.

13:07 - AND I THINK WHAT HAS HAPPENED

13:09 - WAS NEVER WHAT WAS INTENDED

13:11 - BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HAVE A

13:12 - PROGRAM THAT THAT ABSOLUTELY

13:15 - NEEDS TO SPIRIT OF OF THAT.

13:18 - THE PROGRAM, BUT BECAUSE IT

13:19 - HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NAME

13:21 - OR A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FOCUS,

13:22 - IT FALLS INTO A DIFFERENT

13:24 - CATEGORY. I GUESS THE CONCERN

13:28 - IS WE WANT TO REALLY SEE OUR

13:29 - PASSION SCHOOLS LIKE

13:31 - AGGRESSIVELY LOOKING TO RESOLVE

13:32 - THE COE. AND WE'RE WE'RE

13:32 - WORKING ON IT. ABSOLUTELY.

13:33 - YOU HAVE ANY UPDATED

13:35 - INFORMATION ON THAT.

13:37 - WHEN I KNOW AND TIGHT ON,

13:39 - YES, SOME OF THAT TIME. BUT

13:40 - YEAH, I'M IN THE STATE RELATED

13:43 - STALKED ABOUT SOME GLITCHES

13:44 - THAT IT HELD UP STUDENT FUNDING

13:45 - AND OTHER THINGS FAST, BUT

13:47 - FUNDING IN PAST YEARS. YOU

13:48 - KNOW, THE STUDENTS HAVE SIGNED

13:49 - THIS MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE.

13:53 - WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

13:54 - THE STUDENTS THAT ARE COMMITTED

13:56 - TO STAYING IN PENNSYLVANIA,

13:56 - THAT, YOU KNOW, WILL PATCHY

14:00 - BE HONORING THAT WHILE WE'RE IN

14:01 - THE MIDST SO THEY DON'T GET

14:04 - HIT WITH THIS $5,000 BILL.

14:05 - YOU KNOW, ON TOP OF THE CAUSE

14:06 - THAT IT'S A BIG SWING FOR

14:09 - FAMILIES. WE'RE WORKING WITH

14:11 - FEAR AND AND TRYING TO SORT ALL

14:12 - THIS OUT. AND WE ARE ABSOLUTELY

14:14 - COMMITTED TO MAKING IT WORK.

14:18 - THIS WE GOT BLINDSIDED BY THIS.

14:19 - CERTAIN IS THAT ZOE ELSE WILL

14:21 - PASS. SHE BE HONORING THAT

14:21 - 5,000 IN HOLDING THAT OR ARE

14:23 - YOU PLANNING TO CHARGE THOSE

14:24 - STUDENTS IN THIS GAP OR YOU

14:28 - CAN HONOR THAT 5,000.

14:31 - WELL, AS AS LONG AS THE FUNDING

14:33 - IT IS IS CLARIFIED. CERTAINLY

14:34 - WE ARE PREPARED TO HONOR THE

14:35 - FUNDING FOR THE STUDENTS.

14:36 - WE DON'T WANT THIS STUFF ON

14:38 - THE STUDENT. JUST NOT THEIR

14:39 - FAULT.

14:41 - THIS IS JUST A BUREAUCRATIC

14:42 - GLITCH AND WE COMMIT TO MAKING

14:44 - SURE THAT GETS WORKED OUT.

14:44 - OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.

14:49 - THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

14:51 - REPRESENTATIVE YOUNG. GOOD

14:51 - AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. I'M GONNA

14:52 - GO AHEAD AND GET MY LITTLE

14:54 - SHAMELESS PLUG TOO COMMUNITY

14:55 - COLLEGE OF PHILADELPHIA FOR THE

15:00 - REASONS THAT I CHAIR PRINCE

15:00 - CHARMING HAVE SAID EARLIER

15:01 - REFERENCE TO HIS EXPERIENCE.

15:03 - I WILL SAY I DO HAVE

15:04 - A DAUGHTER WHO ATTENDS A

15:05 - SCHOOL. AND AS A PARENT, I'M A

15:06 - PARENT FIRST AND A SPACE THAT

15:08 - WILL EASE BY TO REMIND PEOPLE

15:10 - THAT WE INTEREST OUR CHILDREN

15:13 - WITH SYSTEMS AND PLACES THAT

15:14 - WILL HELP NURTURE THEM IN A

15:17 - HOLISTIC WAY. AND SO I WILL SAY

15:19 - MY DAUGHTER HAS FOUND HER VOICE

15:20 - AS CCP ALONG WITH THE COMMUNITY

15:22 - AND INDEPENDENTS. SO THANK YOU

15:25 - FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THAT

15:27 - SPACE. RECENTLY I ATTENDED AN

15:29 - OPENING AS CCP, WHICH IS THE

15:30 - HEALTH CARE SIMULATION LAB AND

15:32 - HAS INNOVATED AS THAT LAB IS

15:34 - AND AS WELCOMING AS IN AS

15:35 - ENCOURAGING AS THOSE STUDENTS

15:37 - WEAR WHEN THEY WAY THEY EXPLAIN

15:40 - E HOW THOSE REAL-LIFE

15:42 - EXPERIENCES HELP GIVE THEM

15:43 - CONFIDENCE IN THE WORKFORCE.

15:43 - CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN IT COMES

15:47 - TO MANAGING TIGHT BUDGETS?

15:47 - AND THIS IS NOT JUST FOR IT TO

15:49 - CCP. THIS IS FOR WHATEVER.

15:54 - BUT WHEN YOU ARE CREATING SUCH

15:55 - INITIATIVES THAT IS REALLY

15:56 - BRINGING THAT CURRENT THAT

15:56 - CLASSROOM TO CAREER TYPE A

15:57 - PATHWAY TO YOUR STUDENT BODY.

16:02 - THEY'RE EXCITED AND THEY'RE

16:03 - OPEN IN ERIC HELPFUL AND

16:04 - WONDERING LIKE WHAT THE WORLD

16:05 - CAN REALLY LOOK LIKE FOR THEM.

16:08 - BUT YOU AS A SYSTEM IS

16:09 - SOMETIMES CHALLENGED WITH

16:10 - MANAGING A TIGHT BUDGET.

16:11 - SO WHEN IT COMES TO MANAGING

16:14 - TYPE BUDGETS, HOW

16:17 - ARE YOU THE PAST HOUR? WE ARE

16:18 - PAST THE END OF UNIVERSITIES

16:19 - AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE COLLEGES,

16:21 - SOCIETY. WHAT THEY CAN SCALE

16:22 - BACK ON WHILE STILL KEEPING

16:24 - CAMPUS SAFE OF TODAY AND

16:27 - WELCOMING.

16:29 - A TRIP TO ME. I THINK IT WAS

16:32 - STRICT. IT.

16:33 - IT COULD BE FOR ANYBODY.

16:36 - BUT CLEARLY CCP CAN ANSWER AS

16:40 - WELL. CERTAINLY. SO THERE IS A

16:41 - PRIORITIZATION AROUND HEALTH

16:41 - AND SAFETY ALWAYS AT THE TOP

16:44 - OF THE LIST.

16:45 - AND SO WHEN WE'RE BUDGETING,

16:46 - THOSE ARE ALWAYS PUT INTO THE

16:49 - BUDGET.

16:51 - NOW THOSE COST DO CONTINUE TO

16:53 - INCREASE AS WELL AS THE SUPPORT

16:54 - SERVICES NEEDED AND WANTED.

17:00 - FOR STUDENT SUCCESS. SO TO YOUR

17:00 - POINT, OTHER THINGS DO HAVE TO

17:03 - GO AWAY.

17:07 - AND CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, DR

17:07 - MARSHALL MADE A VERY, VERY WISE

17:12 - DECISION TO USE OTHER FUNDS FOR

17:15 - FOR HER NEW BUILDING AND

17:16 - PROGRAMS. AND SO WHENEVER

17:19 - POSSIBLE, THE PRESIDENT ALSO

17:21 - SEEK OTHER SOURCES OF REVENUE.

17:24 - SO WHETHER THAT BE PERKINS OR

17:25 - OTHER GRANTS, FEDERAL GRANTS,

17:30 - STATE GRANTS TO TRY TO ENSURE

17:33 - THAT WE NOT ONLY HAVE HEALTH

17:34 - AND SAFETY AND STUDENT SUPPORT

17:36 - SERVICES, BUT THAT WE CAN BE

17:38 - INNOVATIVE AND MEET THE DEMANDS

17:39 - OF THE WORKFORCE AND CONTINUE.

17:43 - TO BE THE

17:43 - MULTIPLIER FOR OUR

17:44 - COMMUNITIES AND WHAT THEY NEED.

17:51 - MAY I JUST

17:52 - ADD IT? I THINK DR STANLEY IS

17:53 - ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THAT IN THIS

17:54 - TIME WHERE HIGHER EDUCATION HAS

17:56 - BECOME

17:57 - MORE COMPETITIVE, WE HAVE

18:00 - BECOME MORE AND MORE INTERESTED

18:01 - IN PRIORITIZING COLLABORATION

18:01 - AND PARTNERSHIP. AND THAT IS

18:05 - INDEED A WAY THAT WE DO KEEP

18:07 - COSTS DOWN. SO ABC 3, WE JUST

18:08 - ANNOUNCED THAT WE'RE GOING TO

18:08 - BE STARTING A RADIOLOGICAL

18:10 - TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM OR AT TECH.

18:11 - AND WE DID THAT IN PARTNERSHIP

18:12 - WITH THE HOSPITAL. THEY WILL

18:15 - BE DONATING EQUIPMENT. WE HAD A

18:17 - PRIVATE DONOR TO BUILD UP A

18:19 - LAB. SO IT REALLY DOES FALL ON

18:21 - US. AND TO, OF COURSE, ENSURE

18:22 - HEALTH AND SAFETY. BUT TO BE

18:23 - MORE INNOVATIVE IN OUR

18:25 - THINKING. AND OUR PARTNERSHIPS

18:26 - REALLY REACHING OUT AND SEEING

18:27 - WHERE WE HAVE GOOD MATCHES IN

18:29 - THE COMMUNITY.

18:32 - SINCE THERE WAS A SHOUT OUT

18:33 - TO CCP THIS COMMERCIAL. I'D

18:36 - LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT.

18:37 - THANK YOU, REPRESENTATIVE JAN,

18:38 - FOR HIGHLIGHTING OUR HEALTH

18:39 - CARE SIMULATION LAB. OPENING

18:42 - AS TUESDAY MENTIONED, WE DID

18:44 - USE ADDITIONAL FUNDS SUPPORTED

18:46 - BY PERKINS TO PROVIDE SOME OF

18:48 - THAT. AND PART OF IT IS

18:50 - EXCITING BECAUSE WE HAVE THE

18:51 - REAL-LIFE MANNEQUINS THAT HAVE

18:52 - BEEN FUNDED BY PERKINS THAT

18:54 - ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO TAKE AN

18:56 - OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN IN A

18:57 - SIMULATION SETTING, HOW THEY'RE

19:00 - GOING TO TREAT PATIENTS RIGHT

19:01 - INTO GETTING THAT CONFIDENCE

19:02 - THAT WE SPEAK ABOUT THAT

19:04 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE SO GREAT

19:05 - AT BUILDING FOR STUDENTS WHO

19:07 - ARE NOT SURE ABOUT THEIR

19:09 - PATHWAY. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT

19:11 - THAT. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE

19:12 - HAVE RECENTLY JUST LAUNCHED OUR

19:16 - NAVY EXPANSION PROJECT. THIS

19:17 - WAS A PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP WITH

19:19 - THE U.S. NAVY TO PROVIDE AN

19:21 - INVESTMENT OF 2.7 MILLION

19:23 - DOLLARS TO PROVIDE PROGRAMMING

19:25 - TO SUPPORT STUDENTS IN

19:27 - SHORT-TERM PROGRAMS ROUTE NAVAL

19:28 - WELDING AND NON-DESTRUCTIVE

19:30 - TESTING. AS WE'RE WORKING TO

19:33 - HELP CREATE A PIPELINE TO

19:34 - SUPPORT THE SHIPBUILDING

19:35 - INDUSTRY, PARTICULARLY THE NAVY

19:37 - YARD. SO IT'S AN EXAMPLE OF

19:38 - WAYS THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO

19:38 - INNOVATE. PART OF THE WORK THAT

19:42 - WE HAVE TO DO AS REPRESENTATIVE

19:44 - JAN HAS MENTIONED IS ABOUT

19:45 - INNOVATION AND MAKING SURE THAT

19:46 - WE'RE PROVIDING A HIGH-QUALITY

19:47 - EDUCATION FOR OUR STUDENTS.

19:49 - AND WE CAN'T STOP DOING THAT.

19:50 - EVEN THOUGH WE MAY HAVE SOME

19:52 - CHALLENGES ON THE FUNDING SIDE.

19:54 - SO WE ARE LOOKING AT

19:55 - ALTERNATIVE FUNDING STRUCTURES,

19:55 - BUT IT IS VERY TIGHT. SO THANK

19:58 - YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

20:01 - THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK

20:02 - YOU, JENNA LADY. REPRESENTATIVE

20:05 - HIM STILL THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN

20:06 - HARRIS. FIRST OFF, I WANT TO

20:07 - WELCOME THE FOLKS HERE FROM

20:09 - BUTLER COUNTY AND TO THANK THEM

20:10 - FOR MAKING THE TREK OUT HERE.

20:12 - DOCTOR, NEW POWER, LONGTIME

20:13 - PRESIDENT BUTLER COUNTY

20:13 - COMMUNITY COLLEGE. THE NEW

20:16 - PRESIDENT MAIN COVIL AND DR

20:18 - RILEY HERE, FIRMS CORRECT

20:21 - UNIVERSITY OF WHICH THE

20:22 - GOOD CHAIRMAN VISIT IT LAST

20:26 - YEAR, RIGHT ISSUE TO US.

20:27 - YES, EXACTLY. I DO HOPE YOU

20:28 - COME BACK NEXT TIME AND

20:28 - HOPEFULLY DR RALLY WILL BE

20:30 - THERE TO SHARE YOUR ON CAMPUS.

20:32 - I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS HERE.

20:34 - THE FIRST ONE I'D LIKE TO

20:35 - ADDRESS WITH THE 2 PRESIDENTS

20:38 - HERE. PRESIDENT COVE ON

20:40 - PRESIDENT RALLY. THE DUAL

20:41 - ENROLLMENT PROGRAM THAT WE KNOW

20:41 - IS THROUGH THE PENNSYLVANIA

20:46 - DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SO IT'S

20:47 - NOT MONEY DIRECTED TO THE

20:48 - UNIVERSITIES OF THE COLLEGES,

20:50 - BUT IT GOES THROUGH THE

20:51 - DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, KIND

20:54 - OF LIKE A

20:55 - GRANT PROGRAM. AND I KNOW BC

20:56 - 3 USES IT. I I'M NOT SURE ABOUT

20:57 - SEPARATE UNIVERSITY. IF YOU

21:01 - USE IT. AND JUST GENERALLY

21:03 - SPEAKING, WHAT TYPES OF KIDS

21:04 - USE THIS PROGRAM TO SERVE A

21:05 - PRESIDENT KOVAL, IF YOU'D LIKE,

21:08 - LIKE WHAT TYPES OF STUDENTS ARE

21:09 - YOU LOOKING FOR? DO THEY SEEK

21:10 - YOU OUT? DO YOU GO INTO THE

21:12 - HIGH SCHOOLS TO TALK ABOUT THE

21:14 - PROGRAM? YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT

21:15 - QUESTION. THANK YOU.

21:16 - REPRESENTATIVE MUSTELLO AND

21:17 - GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE IN

21:19 - HARRISBURG. A DUAL ENROLLMENT

21:21 - IS AN AREA OF GROWTH FOR MANY

21:22 - INSTITUTIONS ACROSS ALL SECTORS

21:23 - OF HIGHER EDUCATION. BUT

21:25 - PARTICULARLY I WOULD SAY FOR

21:25 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND AND

21:28 - CERTAINLY FOR BC 3. SO.

21:29 - AND IN THIS CURRENT ACADEMIC

21:30 - YEAR, WE HAD A 25% GROWTH.

21:35 - AND ON THAT AND WE ADJUSTED

21:36 - SOME COST SOME THINGS ON THE

21:38 - COST SIDE OF THE HOUSE. WE ALSO

21:39 - REALLY RAMPED UP THE

21:40 - RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR EXISTING

21:42 - HIGH SCHOOLS TO GET THOSE

21:44 - NUMBERS UP. BUT I THINK YOUR

21:46 - QUESTION ABOUT WHO IT'S FOR IS

21:47 - IT IS A REALLY GOOD ONE BECAUSE

21:48 - I THINK IT TIMES THERE CAN BE A

21:50 - MISCONCEPTION THAT IT'S FOR

21:52 - MAYBE JUST HIGH-ACHIEVING

21:53 - STUDENTS WHO JUST WANT TO, YOU

21:53 - KNOW, KNOCK OUT A FEW COLLEGE

21:55 - COURSES AT A LOWER PRICE POINT.

21:58 - AND THAT IS CERTAINLY A VERY

21:59 - DEFINED USE OF DUAL ENROLLMENT.

22:01 - BUT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE

22:02 - ARE TRYING TO EXPAND IT.

22:03 - SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS COMING

22:04 - FALL, WE WILL NOW BE AN ALL

22:06 - HIGH SCHOOLS IN BUTLER COUNTY

22:09 - AND WE REALLY VIEW IT AS A

22:10 - POINT OF ACCESS TO HIGHER

22:11 - EDUCATION. SO GETTING TO THOSE

22:14 - STUDENTS WHO AND

22:15 - MAYBE THOUGHT COLLEGE ISN'T FOR

22:16 - ME AND I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN

22:18 - DO THIS AND NOW THEY HAVE THE

22:19 - OPPORTUNITY IN THEIR HIGH

22:19 - SCHOOL AND THEY TAKE THAT CLASS

22:21 - AND THEY SAY I HAVE THAT

22:25 - CONFIDENCE. I CAN DO THAT.

22:26 - SOME STUDENTS WILL TAKE THOSE

22:28 - CREDITS AND GO TO YOU OR YOUR

22:28 - INSTITUTIONS. AND SOME WILL

22:31 - COME TO BC 3, WHICH AND EAST

22:32 - JAVA CAMPUS IN LAWRENCE COUNTY.

22:33 - WE DO THE CENTRE. YOU'RE

22:35 - REACHING OUT TO ANY OF THOSE

22:37 - KIDS IN THAT COUNTY ALSO ARE.

22:37 - YEAH, GREAT QUESTION. WE JUST

22:39 - OPENED A NEW CAMPUS IN LAWRENCE

22:40 - COUNTY, BC 3 AT LAWRENCE.

22:42 - AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS

22:44 - FALL, WE WILL BE RUNNING A

22:46 - PROGRAM CALLED EARLY COLLEGE

22:47 - PIONEERS THERE WITH A HIGH

22:47 - SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE

22:48 - TO COME TO THAT CAMPUS IN THE

22:50 - MORNING AND TO SLIP IRAQ, HAVE

22:53 - ANYTHING

22:54 - WE DO ENGAGE IN THE DUAL

22:57 - ENROLLMENT. I THINK PRETTY

22:59 - TYPICALLY FOR A FOUR-YEAR

23:00 - INSTITUTION. I WOULD SAY THAT

23:01 - ONE OF THE AREAS OF GROWTH FOR

23:05 - US HAS BEEN AND IN OUR STEM H

23:05 - PROGRAM. SO WE DO HAVE A FAST

23:09 - TRACK PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING.

23:12 - WE JUST ADDED A FULL

23:13 - COMPLIMENT OF ENGINEERING

23:14 - PROGRAMS AT SLIPPERY ROCK.

23:16 - SO I THINK THAT THAT'S GREAT.

23:20 - I THINK THAT IT'S A WE DO ALSO,

23:24 - I THINK TRY TO TARGET

23:25 - OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND HAVE

23:26 - REALLY TARGETED TEACHERS OR

23:29 - FUTURE TEACHERS.

23:30 - WE DO. ENROLLMENT INCREASE

23:33 - WAS ABOUT 1400 STUDENTS OVER

23:34 - THE PAST YEAR. SO THAT'S BEEN

23:36 - GREAT. WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT

23:38 - THAT. AND FOR UNIVERSITIES

23:41 - WITHIN PASSION DID RECEIVE

23:42 - THOSE AN AREA FOR GROWTH OR US.

23:44 - AND I DO THINK TO ECHO MEGAN'S.

23:49 - PRAISE FOR THE PROGRAM IS THAT

23:53 - IT DOES ALLOW STUDENTS TO

23:55 - SEE THEMSELVES AS A UNIVERSITY

23:56 - STUDENT AS A COLLEGE STUDENT

23:57 - AND TO COME IN WITH A LEVEL

24:00 - OF CONFIDENCE

24:01 - THAT WE DON'T SOMETIME SEE FOR

24:02 - ALL ITS GOOD. I JUST WANT TO

24:04 - SHIFT GEARS FOR A SECOND JUST

24:04 - FOR A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT SOME

24:06 - OTHER THINGS. WE'VE HEARD A

24:09 - LOT DURING THESE HEARINGS.

24:10 - I'M SURE ALL OF US WHEN WE GO

24:11 - BACK HOME TO OUR DISTRICTS, WE

24:14 - HEAR THE SAME THING ABOUT

24:17 - SKILLED WORKERS, SKILLED TRADE

24:18 - WORKERS. WHAT ARE EACH OF YOUR

24:19 - COLLEGE IS DOING TO PROMOTE

24:23 - ANY SORT OF WORK WITH STUDENTS?

24:24 - MAYBE NOT THE TRADITIONAL

24:26 - STUDENTS, THE NONTRADITIONAL

24:27 - STUDENTS.

24:28 - TO GET THEM INVOLVED IN THE

24:29 - SKILLED TRADES BECAUSE THAT'S

24:32 - ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE

24:33 - WITH DATA CENTERS, GROWTH,

24:35 - OPPORTUNITY, ALL THAT. BUT I

24:40 - KNOW THAT COLLEGES, YOU KNOW,

24:41 - UNIVERSITIES, COMMUNITY

24:41 - COLLEGES FOR HAVE A LOT MORE

24:44 - LEEWAY IN WHAT YOU CAN DO.

24:46 - IS THERE ANYTHING MAYBE SET YOU

24:48 - ABOVE AND BEYOND SOME OF THE

24:48 - OTHER SCHOOLS YET IN THOSE

24:51 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES PATCHY?

24:52 - SURE. SO LET ME TALK ABOUT

24:54 - THE PROGRAM THAT WE'RE VERY

24:55 - EXCITED ABOUT, WHICH IS A

24:58 - PARTNERSHIP WITH THE

24:59 - CARPENTERS UNION. SO WHAT WE

25:01 - DIDN'T AND REPRESENTATIVE

25:02 - COSTELLO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR

25:04 - SUPPORT OF THIS PROGRAM.

25:05 - BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AT

25:07 - SLIPPERY ROCK UNIVERSITY IS

25:10 - ACTUALLY RECOGNIZING THE

25:12 - TRAINING AND EDUCATION THAT

25:15 - ARE.

25:18 - STUDENTS GET THROUGH THE

25:18 - CARPENTERS UNION THAT IS THEN

25:21 - TRANSLATED INTO

25:23 - ACTUAL CREDIT AND IT BEARING

25:24 - ACTIVITY WITH IN SLIPPERY ROCK

25:28 - UNIVERSITY. SO THE CARPENTERS

25:29 - PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE

25:31 - CARPENTERS UNION ARE ACTUALLY

25:33 - ALLOWED TO GET A DEGREE.

25:35 - ME JUST SAY ONE MORE QUICK

25:36 - THING BECAUSE IT'S SUCH AN

25:37 - EXCITING THING I SEE IS A RED

25:38 - LIGHT KNOWN AS THE CHAIRMAN.

25:39 - IF I CAN HAVE 30 SECONDS GET

25:40 - I HAVEN'T ASKED FOR THIS

25:42 - WEEKEND. SO

25:44 - AND I HAVEN'T ASKED THIS

25:45 - WEEK. WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS

25:48 - PROGRAM IS THAT

25:50 - OFTENTIMES WE SEND PEOPLE

25:52 - BACK TO THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

25:54 - PARTNER TO GET THEIR

25:55 - ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE. THEN THEY

25:58 - CAN COME TO SLIPPERY ROCK AND

26:00 - GET EITHER AND FULL BACHELOR'S

26:03 - DEGREE OR WE'VE GOT 3 STACKABLE

26:05 - CREDENTIALS THAT STACK TO A

26:08 - BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN APPLIED

26:09 - SCIENCE. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED

26:12 - ABOUT THE PROGRAM. I HOPE THAT

26:13 - IT SERVES AS A MODEL FOR OTHER

26:13 - UNIVERSITIES MOVING FORWARD.

26:17 - THAT'S GOOD, MR. CHAIRMAN.

26:17 - CAN THE PRESIDENT'S CHAIR

26:18 - OF FALLING PRESENT COVE.

26:21 - I DID MOVE IN.

26:23 - I CAN BE VERY BRIEF. I WOULD

26:26 - JUST SAY THAT BENEFIT OF BEING

26:27 - IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND

26:28 - CERTAINLY SHARING A COUNTY WITH

26:30 - A PASSION INSTITUTION. WE'RE

26:31 - VERY CONNECTED TO LOCAL

26:33 - BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY. AND SO

26:35 - ANYTIME SOMETHING NEW IS

26:36 - HAPPENING WITH THE BUSINESS OR

26:36 - INDUSTRY. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, DOWN

26:38 - THE ROAD FROM BC 3 S

26:40 - CLEVELAND-CLIFFS, THEY JUST

26:42 - GOT SOME NEW SCENERY AND SOME

26:43 - NEW HEATING AND COOLING

26:44 - EQUIPMENT. AND SO WE WERE ABLE

26:45 - TO SET UP A PROGRAM FOR THEM TO

26:48 - TRAIN THEIR EMPLOYEES ON THE

26:49 - USAGE OF THAT NEW EQUIPMENT.

26:51 - NOW THAT THE MAY BE PRETTY

26:52 - SHORT GETTING USED TO IT, BUT

26:54 - WE CAN KEEP ABREAST OF WHAT'S

26:56 - GOING ON AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES

26:57 - QUICKLY. THAT'S GOOD. THANK

26:58 - YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR.

26:59 - CHAIRMAN WAS MORE LIKE A

27:00 - MINUTE. BUT YEAH, I

27:04 - REPRESENTATIVE MO MONTH.

27:22 - PATHS. FIRST CROSSED WEST

27:24 - CHESTER UNIVERSITY.

27:27 - WAY BACK NOW. BUT IT'S GOOD TO

27:28 - GOOD TO SEE YOU IN THE SETTING

27:32 - MY QUESTION, I WANTED TO TALK

27:34 - ABOUT ONLINE EDUCATION AND

27:36 - ENROLLMENT. WE'VE SEEN

27:37 - SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN STUDENTS

27:39 - ENROLLING IN ONLINE PROGRAMS

27:41 - OFFERED BY INSTITUTIONS LIKE

27:42 - WESTERN GOVERNOR'S UNIVERSITY

27:45 - AND SOUTHERN

27:46 - NEW HAMPSHIRE UNIVERSITY.

27:49 - AND APPROXIMATELY 45% OF

27:51 - STUDENTS ENROLLED IN FULLY

27:51 - ONLINE PROGRAMS ATTEND

27:52 - INSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE OF THE

27:55 - STATE.

27:58 - JUST WONDERING WHAT THE PLANS

27:59 - OR STRATEGIES HASHI THE STATE

28:03 - SYSTEM HAS TO TRY TO GROW ITS

28:05 - OFFERINGS FOR ONLINE ONLINE,

28:08 - LEARNING. ARE THERE BARRIERS

28:12 - THAT

28:13 - YOU'RE FACING THAT ARE

28:14 - PRESENTING CHALLENGES AND

28:15 - LIMITS. JUST LOVE YOUR

28:17 - PERSPECTIVE ON THAT. THANK YOU

28:20 - AND NICE TO SEE

28:20 - YOU, SIR.

28:21 - WELL, IF YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT

28:25 - THE WE CAN'T IGNORE.

28:28 - THE ONLINE MARKET FOR

28:29 - UNDERGRADUATE ONLINE PROGRAMS.

28:30 - IT'S HUGE IN GETTING BIGGER.

28:34 - THEY'RE VERY AGGRESSIVE

28:34 - ADVERTISERS. I CERTAINLY OUR

28:38 - OUR LONGTIME TRADITIONAL BREAD

28:40 - AND BUTTER HAS BEEN 18 TO 22

28:41 - YEAR-OLD STUDENTS WHO COME TO

28:44 - THE CAMPUS AND THAT HAS BEEN A

28:45 - DECLINING POPULATION, AS IS

28:50 - WELL KNOWN AND WE ARE WORKING

28:52 - VERY AGGRESSIVELY, ACTUALLY,

28:53 - THAT IT WAS KICKED OFF IN A

28:54 - BIG WAY DURING THE PANDEMIC, OF

28:56 - COURSE, BECAUSE WE HAD TO SHIFT

28:58 - EVERYTHING. AND WE LEARNED A

29:01 - LOT DURING THAT TIME ABOUT

29:02 - ONLINE PROGRAMS AND LEARNED

29:03 - THAT WE COULD DELIVER HIM TO

29:05 - DELIVER THEM EFFECTIVELY.

29:05 - WE HAVE A LONGER HISTORY OF

29:06 - OF OFFERING GRADUATE PROGRAMS.

29:11 - WE ARE SEEING INTEREST FROM OUR

29:12 - STUDENTS AND TAKING SOME ONLINE

29:16 - CLASSES. ONE OF THE BIG

29:19 - POTENTIAL GROWTH AREAS

29:20 - FOR US IS A NON-TRADITIONAL

29:20 - STUDENT POPULATION. PEOPLE WHO

29:22 - MAYBE TOOK SOME CREDITS, STOP

29:25 - DOUBT. I WANT TO COME BACK AND

29:25 - COMPLETE A DEGREE AND THAT'S

29:28 - MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE A.

29:32 - AN ONLINE POPULATION. AND

29:32 - WE HAVE CAMPUS AND WE'RE

29:33 - EXPANDING THE FOOTPRINT

29:35 - AGGRESSIVELY AS WE GO. WE NEED

29:39 - TO MOVE IN THIS MARKET MORE

29:40 - VIGOROUSLY BECAUSE A LOT OF THE

29:41 - MARKET IS AS MOVE IN THAT

29:41 - DIRECTION. AND IT'S AN ONGOING

29:44 - EFFORT. WERE INVOLVED IN DOING

29:45 - PROGRAM SHARING AMONG THE

29:48 - UNIVERSITY SO THAT WE CAN WE

29:49 - CAN ADD DRUG 8 AND I AND BILL

29:51 - TO HAVE THESE KINDS OF PROGRAM

29:54 - OFFERINGS MORE EFFICIENTLY BUT

29:55 - IT'S IT'S A MAJOR AREA OF FOCUS

29:57 - FOR YEARS.

29:59 - I APPRECIATE IT. AND YOU

29:59 - ACTUALLY PREEMPTED MY SECOND

30:01 - LINE OF QUESTIONING ABOUT

30:05 - ONLINE LEARNING IN THIS

30:06 - SPACE FOR NONTRADITIONAL

30:06 - STUDENTS. AND SO I APPRECIATE

30:10 - FUTURE SINK. THANKS MUCH.

30:12 - THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

30:15 - REPRESENTATIVE RUGBY.

30:16 - THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN COMMUNITY

30:17 - COLLEGES ARE REQUESTING

30:19 - 10 MILLION DOLLARS IN NEW

30:19 - FUNDING FOR FIRST RESPONDER

30:22 - TRAINING.

30:23 - CAN YOU GIVE US SOME SPECIFIC

30:24 - DETAILS ABOUT WHY YOU THE THIS

30:24 - FUNDING IN AND WHAT IT WOULD

30:27 - FUND?

30:31 - CERTAINLY, SO THE COMMUNITY

30:33 - COLLEGES THAT OFFER FIRST

30:34 - RESPONDER TRAINING, ALL OF THEM

30:36 - DO THAT AT A LOSS.

30:38 - WE DO IT AS A COMMUNITY SERVICE

30:40 - BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITIES NEED

30:43 - FIRST RESPONDERS AND THEY NEED

30:44 - THEM TO BE CURRENT AND RELEVANT

30:47 - IN THE FIELD. AGAIN, HEALTH

30:48 - AND SAFETY BEING THAT TOP

30:50 - PRIORITY AND SERVING OUR

30:52 - COMMUNITY NEEDS. HOWEVER, THESE

30:54 - ARE VERY EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS IN

30:55 - PARTICULAR. IF YOU LOOK AT FIRE

30:57 - AND YOU HAVE ACTIVE BURNED AND

30:59 - BURNED BUILDINGS, THE

31:00 - MAINTENANCE ON THE EQUIPMENT

31:04 - AND ALONE IS IS VERY HIGH.

31:08 - SO THIS FUNDING WOULD HELP

31:11 - TO OFFSET

31:12 - THE COLLEGE IS SUPPLEMENTING

31:13 - THOSE TRAINING PROGRAMS AND SO

31:16 - THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO EXPAND

31:18 - AND BE ABLE TO MEET THE

31:18 - COMMUNITY NEEDS FOR TRAINED

31:21 - FIRST RESPONDERS.

31:23 - IT WAS IN YOUR REQUESTS.

31:24 - IT AND THAT THE FUNDING FOR

31:25 - THIS TRAINING WAS DISCONTINUED

31:28 - DECADES AGO AND ALL COMMUNITY

31:29 - COLLEGE OFFERING THESE TRAINING

31:30 - PROGRAMS DO. SO THE LOSSES, AS

31:33 - YOU JUST MENTIONED.

31:34 - REPRESENTATIVE ASTELLAS SHARED

31:35 - WITH ME SOME INFORMATION ABOUT

31:38 - BC 3, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS

31:39 - RATHER IMPRESSIVE BEING A FIRST

31:43 - RESPONDER MYSELF. 35 OF 67

31:45 - COUNTIES ARE ARE SERVED.

31:47 - I YOU'RE WORKING WITH

31:48 - FIREFIGHTERS. HE ALSO OFFERED

31:51 - 110 PENNSYLVANIA

31:52 - STATE FIRE ACADEMY ACCREDITED

31:55 - PROGRAMS OVER 300 CUSTOMIZED.

31:56 - SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. WE KNOW

31:57 - AS WE SIT HERE AS A LEGISLATOR

31:59 - AND DEAL WITH THE DECLINE IN

32:02 - FIRST RESPONDERS IS THE

32:03 - 10 MILLION ENOUGH TO GET YOU

32:05 - GOING TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE,

32:07 - I GUESS HAVING NOTHING. THIS IS

32:10 - CERTAINLY A PUSH IN THE RIGHT

32:11 - DIRECTION, CORRECT? WE

32:13 - ABSOLUTELY WOULD BE VERY, VERY

32:14 - HELPFUL.

32:15 - JUST SAID TO PUT AN EXAMPLE

32:16 - TO THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES, DO

32:18 - WE ARE REGIONAL TRAINING CENTER

32:20 - AT THE SCENE, 3 FOR

32:21 - FIREFIGHTERS AND AS YOU

32:21 - MENTIONED, SERVED 35 OF THE

32:24 - 67 COUNTIES AND

32:26 - I'll SHARE WITH YOU. YOU KNOW,

32:27 - EVERY YEAR WE HAVE A LOSS ON

32:28 - OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM,

32:32 - ABOUT $500,000. BUT IT IS SO

32:32 - CRITICAL TO OUR MISSION.

32:33 - IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WANT

32:35 - TO STOP DOING. I MEAN, WE ARE

32:35 - ALL LOOKING AT ALL THE

32:37 - DIFFERENT AREAS OF OUR

32:37 - INSTITUTIONS AND WHERE WE CAN

32:39 - BE MORE EFFICIENT. MORE ROUGH

32:41 - RESOURCEFUL. BUT THIS IS SUCH A

32:42 - SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY AND WE

32:43 - WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO

32:44 - DO IT TO DO IT WELL, AND ALSO

32:48 - TO DO IT AT A REASONABLE COST

32:49 - FOR THOSE THAT WE ARE SERVING

32:51 - SO THAT MONEY WOULD BE

32:51 - TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL TO BC 3

32:52 - AND MANY OTHER INSTITUTIONS

32:55 - ACROSS THE STATE.

32:56 - I KNOW IN MY DISTRICT WE WERE

32:57 - FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE

32:58 - OUR POLICE ACADEMY INTO THE

33:00 - COMMUNITY COLLEGE NOW. SO

33:01 - STUDENTS GOING THROUGH THERE

33:02 - ALSO COMING OUT WITH A DEGREE.

33:04 - SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM

33:04 - AND I FULLY SUPPORTED. THANK

33:07 - YOU. THANK YOU.

33:09 - THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

33:10 - REPRESENTATIVE CURRY, THANK

33:12 - YOU, CHAIRMAN. HELLO, EVERYONE

33:13 - HAS A COUPLE QUESTIONS. BUT

33:16 - FIRST, I JUST WANT TO.

33:18 - SAY HOW EXCITED WE ARE THAT

33:21 - THE DELAWARE COMMUNITY CAUGHT

33:21 - DELAWARE COUNTY COMMUNITY

33:24 - COLLEGE HAS THIS NEW

33:25 - WORK FORCE CAMPUS IN THE

33:27 - SOUTHEAST. SOUTHEAST CAMPUS,

33:29 - WHICH BORDERS MY DISTRICT AND

33:32 - REPRESENTATIVE BOYD, WE'RE OVER

33:33 - THE MOON THAT THEY'RE CLOSE TO

33:35 - US NOW, INSTEAD OF OUR STUDENTS

33:38 - HAVING TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY

33:39 - OUT SEVERAL MILES, ESPECIALLY

33:40 - FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DON'T HAVE

33:43 - AS MUCH ACCESS TO

33:44 - TRANSPORTATION. SO REALLY

33:47 - EXCITED ABOUT THAT. ONE OF THE

33:48 - THINGS THAT I WANTED TO COME TO

33:52 - ASK AROUND THE PARTNERSHIP'S

33:55 - WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND

33:56 - YOU KNOW THE IMPASSE. SHE IS.

34:01 - WHEN OUR STUDENTS LEAVE

34:03 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES, RIGHT?

34:04 - USUALLY TYPICALLY THEY'RE NOT

34:04 - IN HOUSING SITUATIONS THAT ARE

34:08 - ON CAMPUS. BUT WHAT WE'RE

34:09 - FINDING IN OUR UNIVERSITIES AND

34:11 - WE'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS

34:14 - BEFORE ARE STUDENTS THAT

34:17 - ARE EXPERIENCING FOOD,

34:18 - INSECURITY, FOOD, INSECURITIES

34:19 - AND CLOTHING IN SECURITIES AND

34:21 - ALL THE INSECURITIES THAT YOU

34:22 - COULD THINK ABOUT THOSE WHO

34:25 - HAVE CHILDREN WHO ARE TRYING TO

34:29 - NAVIGATE THEIR EDUCATION

34:30 - AND CHILDCARE. WHAT ARE THE

34:31 - WHAT'S THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

34:34 - LINK TO THEN GOING INTO THE

34:38 - TRANSFER OF A FULL TIME

34:39 - UNIVERSITY. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK

34:41 - LIKE WITH THOSE PROGRAMS?

34:51 - JUST SPEAK ABOUT A FEW

34:53 - OPPORTUNITIES. SO YOUR QUESTION

34:54 - RESONATES VERY WELL WITH ME

34:56 - AS COMMITTEE CAUSE OF

34:56 - PHILADELPHIA. WE HAVE ABOUT 75%

34:59 - OF OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE SOME

35:00 - TYPE OF INSECURITY, FOOD,

35:01 - INSECURITY, HOUSING,

35:02 - INSECURITY, AND THAT'S TYPICAL

35:05 - FOR US. ADDITIONALLY, 25% OF

35:07 - OUR STUDENTS, OUR STUDENT

35:10 - PARENTS. SO PART OF WHAT WE DO

35:12 - WITH THE SORRY ABOUT 25% OF OUR

35:14 - STUDENTS, OUR STUDENT PARENTS

35:15 - AS WELL. AND WE HAVE INSTITUTED

35:17 - A LOT OF SUPPORTS FOR THAT.

35:20 - BUT PARTICULARLY AS YOUR

35:22 - QUESTION RELATES TO HOW DO WE

35:23 - SUPPORT SINCE ONCE A TRANSFER?

35:24 - WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY

35:26 - WITH SEVERAL FOUR-YEAR

35:26 - INSTITUTIONS ARE TOP TRANSFER

35:29 - INSTITUTION IS TEMPLE. PART OF

35:30 - THAT PARTNERSHIP IS THINKING

35:33 - ABOUT HOW TO PROVIDE THE

35:35 - WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT SERVICES.

35:36 - IN ADDITION TO BASICALLY

35:37 - SUPPORTS THAT, WE'RE ABLE TO

35:38 - PROVIDE THROUGH OUR OCTAVIUS

35:41 - CATTLE SCHOLARSHIP. 2 STUDENTS

35:42 - ONCE THEY TRANSFER TO THE

35:44 - FOUR-YEAR. SO WE'VE HAD VERY

35:45 - TARGETED CONVERSATIONS. THERE

35:46 - ARE AROUND THAT AND A GREAT

35:47 - EXAMPLE OF A PARTNERSHIP THAT

35:49 - WE HAVE WITH THE ASHLEY

35:51 - INSTITUTION IS OUR NEW CHENEY

35:53 - AT CCP PROGRAM, WHICH WE JUST

35:55 - LAUNCHED THAT WILL ALLOW US TO

35:56 - PROVIDE SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL

35:57 - SCHOLARSHIP. LAST DOLLAR

35:59 - SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORTS AS WELL AS

36:01 - HOLISTIC WRAPAROUND STUDENT

36:03 - SUPPORTS AND BASIC NEEDS FOR

36:05 - STUDENTS. THAT WOULD BE

36:07 - TRANSFERRING TO CHEYNEY

36:08 - UNIVERSITY, BUT THEY'RE TAKING

36:09 - COURSES ON OUR CAMPUS. SO THAT

36:11 - ELIMINATES THE TRANSPORTATION

36:12 - ISSUE. BUT IT WAS REALLY

36:14 - MODELED AFTER. HOW DO WE

36:16 - CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR

36:17 - STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED THOSE

36:19 - SAME TYPES OF SUPPORTS ONCE

36:22 - THEY GET TO THE FOUR-YEAR?

36:22 - SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

36:24 - WORRYING OF THAT PROGRAM'S SAYS

36:24 - SO, YEAH, I MAKING AND I ARE

36:25 - LOOKING AT EACH OTHER BECAUSE

36:27 - WE HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM,

36:27 - OBVIOUSLY BEING IN THE SAME

36:30 - COUNTY. WE HAVE A GREAT

36:30 - RELATIONSHIP.

36:31 - WE JUST RECENTLY WENT THROUGH

36:36 - TRAINING WITH ASK YOU AN 18

36:37 - MONTH TRAINING ON HOW TO SMOOTH

36:39 - THE TRANSLATION OF OF MOVING

36:42 - FROM A COMMUNITY COLLEGE, TOO.

36:43 - A FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTION.

36:44 - WE ALSO PARTNERED WITH CCBC IN

36:48 - THAT ACTIVITY.

36:49 - WE HAVE REP AROUND SERVICES.

36:52 - WE JUST RECEIVED A GREAT

36:53 - $60,000 GRANT FOR OUR FOOD

36:55 - BANK. WE HAVE A KIND CLOSET.

36:57 - ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE

36:59 - LEARNED FROM LISTENING TO OUR

37:01 - STUDENTS WAS WE DO A GREAT JOB

37:02 - OF MAKING SURE THAT THEIR

37:05 - CREDITS TRANSFER OR 99% OF THE

37:08 - CREDITS THAT COME FROM

37:09 - COMMUNITY COLLEGE AT SLIPPERY

37:13 - ROCK ARE DIRECTLY APPLIED TO

37:15 - THEIR TRANSCRIPTS. SO THERE'S

37:17 - NO DELAY IN THAT KIND OF A

37:17 - THING. BUT WHAT WE FOUND IS WE

37:19 - LISTEN TO ONE OF THE GREAT

37:22 - STUDENT AND HE SAID TO US, I

37:23 - LOVE SLIPPERY ROCK. I LOVED

37:24 - CCBC BUT I HAVEN'T FOUND MY

37:27 - WEEKEND. FRIENDS.

37:28 - AND SO THAT REALLY HIT THE BOTH

37:29 - OF US. AND WE SAID, WHAT ARE

37:30 - WE GOING TO DO DIFFERENTLY?

37:34 - SO OUR INTENTION IS NOW NOT

37:35 - JUST AROUND THE MECHANICS OF

37:36 - MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE NO

37:40 - BARRIERS TO TRANSFERRING IT

37:44 - FROM ANY COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO

37:44 - SLIPPERY ROCK. BUT IN

37:46 - PARTICULAR, BUTLER, COMMUNITY

37:48 - COLLEGE AND BUTLER COMMUNITY

37:50 - COLLEGE IS TAKING ON SOME VERY

37:52 - NEW INITIATIVES, BRINGING BUSES

37:55 - OF STUDENTS TOO SOCIAL

37:56 - ACTIVITIES LIKE FOOTBALL GAMES

37:59 - LIKE BASKETBALL GAMES, LIKE OUR

38:02 - ROCK. THE WEEKEND EVENTS SO

38:04 - THAT THOSE STUDENTS START TO

38:05 - DEVELOP FRIENDSHIPS AT SLIPPERY

38:08 - ROCK. SO WHEN THEY GET THERE,

38:09 - THEY'RE HITTING THE GROUND

38:09 - RUNNING, NOT JUST INSIDE THE

38:12 - CLASSROOM, BUT OUTSIDE THE

38:12 - CLASSROOM. SO WE'RE REALLY

38:15 - EXCITED ABOUT THAT. HAVE REALLY

38:15 - APPRECIATE THAT. THAT THAT JUST

38:16 - MADE ME FEEL REALLY HAPPY.

38:18 - BUT YEAH, IT'S YOU KNOW, JUST

38:19 - HAVING.

38:20 - HAVING OUR STUDENTS FEEL

38:21 - COMFORTABLE THAT THEY'RE GOING

38:23 - FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO

38:24 - ANOTHER UNIVERSITY AND HAVING

38:26 - THOSE WRAP-AROUND SERVICES ARE

38:26 - CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. THANK

38:29 - YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU.

38:30 - CHAIR. THANK THE GENTLE LADY,

38:31 - REPRESENTATIVE FLOOD. THANK

38:33 - YOU, CHAIRMAN. WELCOME. THANK

38:36 - YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS

38:38 - AFTERNOON. LAST YEAR WE

38:39 - DISCUSSED DEMOGRAPHICS AND THE

38:39 - DECLINE IN TRADITIONAL AGE HIGH

38:42 - SCHOOL GRADUATES ACROSS THE

38:44 - COMMONWEALTH. YOU ALL INDICATED

38:45 - YOU ARE FIGHTING THE DECLINE IN

38:48 - TRADITIONAL AGE STUDENTS BY

38:48 - TRYING TO ATTRACT MORE

38:50 - NONTRADITIONAL AGE STUDENTS.

38:53 - HOW ARE THOSE EFFORTS WORKING

38:57 - AND WHAT DO YOUR ENROLLMENT DO?

38:58 - YOU DOES ENROLLMENT LOOK LIKE

38:59 - THOSE TRENDS LIKE BETWEEN THOSE

39:00 - 2 GROUPS, TRADITIONAL AND

39:02 - NONTRADITIONAL AGE.

39:04 - THANK YOU. WE ARE. WE'VE MADE

39:07 - A GOOD DEAL OF PROGRESS.

39:10 - AT SOME POINT. I I READ AN

39:12 - ARTICLE ABOUT A COMPANY THAT

39:14 - SPECIALIZES IN THIS AREA THAT

39:16 - HAD WORKED NEW JERSEY AND HAD

39:17 - BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN

39:19 - ATTRACTING THOUSANDS AND

39:20 - THOUSANDS OF OF NONTRADITIONAL

39:21 - STUDENTS BACK TO THE JERSEY

39:21 - PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES. WE ENGAGED

39:25 - WITH THAT WITH THAT COMPANY AND

39:26 - THEY HAVE CONTRACTS WITH ABOUT

39:29 - HALF OF OUR UNIVERSITIES.

39:33 - NOW AND THEY SPECIALIZE IN IN

39:34 - STUDENTS WHO ARE CALLED STOP

39:35 - HOUSE. THEY TOOK SOME READ THIS

39:37 - WITH US IS ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS

39:40 - NEVER FINISH THEIR DEGREE.

39:41 - WHEN GOT A JOB STARTED THEIR

39:43 - LIVES AND

39:44 - PERHAPS TO GET TO A POINT AT

39:46 - WHICH THEY THINK, OH, I REALLY

39:46 - COULD BENEFIT FROM SOME MORE

39:49 - EDUCATION. SO

39:50 - WE WE KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE

39:53 - ARE. THEY'VE TAKEN COURSES WITH

39:54 - US. SO WE'RE SHARING THAT

39:55 - INFORMATION WITH THE COMPANY.

39:55 - THEY'RE ENGAGING PEOPLE

39:57 - IDENTIFYING THEM. DETERMINING

39:58 - IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN COMING

40:00 - BACK AND THEN FACILITATING THE

40:02 - PROCESS FOR THEM TO COME BACK.

40:05 - WE STARTED THIS YEAR. THEY TOLD

40:07 - US THAT THIS THAT THERE'S A

40:07 - RAMP UP ON EFFORTS LIKE THIS IS

40:10 - ABOUT AN 18 MONTH PROCESS TO

40:12 - REALLY START TO BUILD SOME

40:14 - NUMBERS. WE ARE WORKING VERY

40:15 - AGGRESSIVELY AND ALL THE

40:16 - INSTITUTIONS, WHETHER THEY HAVE

40:19 - ENGAGE WITH THE COMPANY OR NOT

40:23 - ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCREASING

40:24 - THEIR NON-TRADITIONAL

40:26 - ENROLLMENTS AND TRYING TO

40:26 - INCREASE THE OVERALL

40:27 - ENROLLMENTS BECAUSE IT IS A

40:29 - SIZABLE.

40:31 - EXTRA MARKET IN THE IN THE

40:32 - COMMONWEALTH AND THERE ARE

40:33 - CHALLENGES AROUND IT BECAUSE

40:36 - WE CAN'T JUST TREAT THEM AS IF

40:38 - 3.18, YEAR-OLDS COMING TO LIVE

40:39 - IN THE RESIDENCE HALL THAT

40:40 - THEY'RE THEY'RE IN A VERY

40:41 - DIFFERENT PLACE IN THEIR LIVES.

40:42 - AND WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT

40:43 - WE NEED TO BE PREPARED TO

40:46 - ACCEPT THEM WHERE THEY ARE

40:47 - GIVEN THE SUPPORT THAT THEY

40:48 - NEED, MAKE SURE THAT THE

40:48 - CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE WHEN THEY

40:51 - NEED THEM ONLINE CLASSES

40:53 - EVENING CLASSES WEEKEND

40:55 - CLASSES. ALL THESE KINDS OF

40:55 - FACTORS ARE BEING TAKEN INTO

40:56 - ACCOUNT. SO THAT IS A WORK IN

40:57 - PROGRESS. WELL, I THINK ABOUT.

41:01 - THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTO

41:02 - THEIR CAREER AND DECIDE THIS IS

41:03 - NOT FOR ME. I WANT TO MAKE A

41:05 - CAREER CHANGE AND HOW DO YOU

41:09 - GRAB THOSE PEOPLE ARE? HOW DO

41:10 - YOU MARKET? SO THEY FEEL

41:11 - THEY'RE WELCOME TO COME BACK.

41:12 - AND HEY, THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES

41:14 - FOR ME AND YOU CAN DO THIS

41:15 - BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE A

41:18 - FAMILY NOW, BUT NOW WE HAVE

41:20 - ONLINE CLASSES. HOW DO YOU

41:21 - MARKET IT THAT TO MAKE SURE

41:22 - PEOPLE KNOW THERE ARE OTHER

41:22 - OPTIONS AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO

41:26 - STAY IN THE DEAD CAREER OR, YOU

41:27 - KNOW, THEY THEY'RE STRUGGLING

41:28 - TO FIND A JOB. THEY KNOW THAT

41:31 - THEY CAN TAKE A DIFFERENT

41:32 - DIRECTION TO HOW YOU HOW ARE

41:32 - YOU REACHING THE PEOPLE?

41:36 - I THINK THAT WE'VE CREATED

41:39 - WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE 3RD ARM

41:40 - OF OUR ACADEMIC ENTERPRISE.

41:42 - SO WE HAVE UNDER GRADUATE

41:43 - PROGRAMS. WE HAVE GRADUATE

41:46 - PROGRAMS AND THEN WE HAVE

41:46 - CERTIFICATES, MICRO

41:47 - CREDENTIALS, PROFESSIONAL

41:50 - DEVELOPMENT, INC TACKLES.

41:52 - AND THE GOAL HERE IS IS 3 FULL.

41:53 - NEW PROGRAMS, NEW

41:56 - PARTNERSHIPS AND NEW

41:58 - APPROACHES. WE HAVE TO BE

41:59 - PARTNERING WITH INDUSTRY SO

42:02 - THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT

42:03 - IS AVAILABLE TO THEM AND HOW

42:04 - THEY CAN ACCESS IT. IT HAS TO

42:06 - BE DELIVERED IN A WAY THAT

42:07 - MAKES SENSE TO THEM AT TIMES

42:10 - THAT MAKE SENSE TO THEM.

42:11 - YOU KNOW, YOU MADE A REALLY,

42:11 - REALLY GOOD POINT ABOUT THE

42:14 - DEMOGRAPHIC CLIFF, BUT WHAT

42:15 - WE HAVEN'T HEARD IS THAT PEOPLE

42:17 - WILL STOP LEARNING AND WE'RE

42:20 - QUITE

42:21 - THE CONTRARY. PEOPLE'S JOBS

42:22 - WILL NOT BE MORE STATIC.

42:23 - IN FACT, THEY WILL BE MUCH MORE

42:24 - FLUID IN THE FUTURE. AND SO WE

42:28 - HAVE TO BE NIMBLE. WE HAVE TO

42:31 - BE REACTIVE TO THE MARKET AND

42:32 - BEING IN THE COMMUNITY WITH OUR

42:34 - INDUSTRY PARTNERS IS ONE WAY

42:35 - THAT WE'RE REALLY WORKING TO

42:38 - MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THINGS

42:40 - ARE BOTH AVAILABLE TO THEM AND

42:41 - THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF THEM.

42:43 - AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU SAID

42:45 - THAT BECAUSE I WORKED CLOSELY

42:48 - WITH NORTHAMPTON COMMUNITY

42:48 - COLLEGE, SHOUT OUT TO DOCTOR

42:51 - DAVE RUTH. BUT THAT'S A

42:52 - CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE ALL

42:53 - THE TIME ABOUT REACHING OUT

42:54 - INTO THE COMMUNITIES,

42:54 - PARTNERING WITH THE DIFFERENT

42:57 - INDUSTRIES

42:58 - AND JOBS.

42:58 - OUR BUSINESSES TO BE ABLE

43:01 - TO CONTINUE TRAINING FOR PEOPLE

43:03 - AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S

43:03 - AVAILABLE TO THEM. AND THEY DO

43:05 - A GREAT JOB IN CONNECTING WITH

43:06 - WORKERS AND HELPING TO TRAIN

43:08 - THEM IN REAL TIME, WHICH

43:11 - ACTUALLY LEADS ME INTO ANOTHER

43:12 - QUESTION. AND AT THE COMMUNITY,

43:15 - COLLEGES ARE REQUESTING

43:15 - 15 MILLION DOLLARS IN

43:16 - ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR NON

43:17 - CREDIT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

43:22 - COULD YOU PROVIDE? AND SOME

43:24 - DETAILS ON HOW YOU WOULD USE

43:25 - THIS FUNDING AND WHAT KIND OF

43:26 - PROGRAMS THAT WOULD SUPPORT

43:26 - BECAUSE REALLY THEY PLAY THE

43:28 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES AS WELL AS

43:31 - OUR OTHER COLLEGES PLAY A VITAL

43:33 - PART IN BEING PARTNERS IN OUR

43:34 - COMMUNITY. BUT ALL OF THE

43:35 - TRAINING IS IMPORTANT TO.

43:36 - COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE SOME

43:38 - INFORMATION

43:41 - ON THAT? CERTAINLY. SO WE HAVE

43:42 - FORMED A TECHNOLOGY AND TREATS

43:45 - CONSORTIUM THAT WE WERE

43:45 - REPLICATED ACROSS THE STATE AS

43:48 - THE WORKFORCE NEEDS ARISE.

43:49 - AND SO SPECIFICALLY AROUND

43:51 - THE 15 MILLION, IT IS CALLED

43:54 - PA WORKS.

43:56 - AND WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE MICRO

44:00 - CREDENTIALS. SO I'll JUST SAY.

44:01 - THEY'RE ALREADY IN PLACE.

44:04 - SO THIS IS FUNDING TO EXPAND

44:06 - PROGRAMS WE HAVE OVER 63 YEARS

44:09 - WITH THE FORMATION OF HALF HAS

44:10 - OUR FIRST COMMUNITY COLLEGE

44:12 - CELEBRATING THEIR 63RD YEAR.

44:14 - THESE 2 INSTITUTIONS ARE

44:16 - CELEBRATING THEIR 60TH

44:19 - ANNIVERSARY. AND SO WITHIN

44:20 - THOSE 63 YEARS, WE'VE BEEN IN

44:22 - THIS BUSINESS. WE'VE BEEN IN

44:23 - WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT THAT

44:25 - ENTIRE TIME. SO IT WOULD BE A

44:26 - PREPRINT SHIP ACADEMY MICRO

44:30 - CREDENTIAL ACADEMY AND A CAREER

44:31 - AND TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY. AND I

44:32 - CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE MORE

44:35 - DETAILS ON THAT. BUT THIS IS

44:37 - JUST TO AMPLIFY THOSE EFFORTS

44:39 - ACROSS THE STATE FOR ALL 15

44:40 - COMMUNITY COLLEGE. I REALLY DO

44:42 - APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AND THE

44:43 - PARTNERSHIPS IN THE COMMUNITY

44:44 - ARE REALLY VITAL, ESPECIALLY AT

44:46 - A TIME WHEN INFLATION IS HIGH

44:47 - AND AFFORDABILITY IS TOUGH.

44:50 - SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

44:51 - THANK THE GENTLE LADY,

44:53 - REPRESENTATIVE MALAGARI.

44:53 - THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN AND

44:54 - THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING WITH

44:55 - US TODAY. REALLY APPRECIATE

44:56 - YOUR WORK INTO YOUR STAFF'S

44:57 - WEALTH. PREPARING FOR TODAY.

45:02 - IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY OF THE

45:03 - DISTRICT, A VERY CLOSE TO

45:04 - MONTGOMERY COUNTY COMMUNITY

45:07 - COLLEGE, NOT SO FAR AWAY.

45:08 - AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A

45:09 - COUPLE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN

45:11 - HAPPENING IN OUR REGION IN THE

45:15 - IN THE VERY RECENT PAST,

45:18 - ACTUALLY. SO WE'VE SEEN 2 MAJOR

45:19 - ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM EMPLOYERS

45:21 - THAT.

45:24 - HAS BEEN MAJOR PHARMACEUTICAL

45:26 - COMPANIES WANTING ELI LILLY AND

45:26 - ANOTHER ONE, JOHNSON AND

45:29 - JOHNSON JNJ.

45:32 - AND THE GOVERNOR IS ALSO

45:33 - COMMITTED FUNDS TO CREATING

45:36 - WORKS WORKFORCE PATHWAY.

45:41 - HOW CENTRAL OUR COMMUNITY

45:41 - COLLEGES TO EXPANDING BIOTECH

45:45 - AND LIFE SCIENCES WORKFORCE

45:47 - PATHWAYS. AND HOW CAN THE

45:48 - LEGISLATURE SUPPORT? THAT WORK.

45:53 - THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

45:56 - AND FOR YOUR APPRECIATION OF

45:59 - THAT INDUSTRY. SO, YES, THOSE

46:00 - ARE EXAMPLES OF VERY SUCCESSFUL

46:01 - RECENT ENDEAVORS BY THE STATE.

46:06 - TO ATTRACT

46:07 - THE EXPANSION PHARMACEUTICAL

46:10 - COMPANIES. AND SO PRIMARILY

46:10 - LEHIGH AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY

46:12 - COMMUNITY COLLEGE ARE INVOLVED

46:14 - IN THOSE EFFORTS JUST BECAUSE

46:16 - THOSE 2 COMPANIES AND ELI LILLY

46:18 - ARE IN THEIR SERVICE AREAS.

46:21 - SO THEY WERE CALLED UPON AT THE

46:23 - VERY BEGINNING WHEN THE STATE

46:24 - STARTED HAVING CONVERSATIONS

46:26 - WITH THEM ABOUT WHAT COMMUNITY

46:28 - COLLEGES COULD PROVIDE IN

46:30 - WORKFORCE TRAINING. AND SO THE

46:31 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES WERE PART

46:34 - OF THE TEAM THAT HELPED THOSE

46:35 - COMPANIES DECIDE. PENNSYLVANIA

46:36 - WAS THE RIGHT FIT FOR THEM.

46:40 - AND SO THEY ARE CURRENTLY

46:42 - DEVELOPING CURRICULUM AND

46:43 - PROGRAMS THAT SPECIFICALLY MEET

46:45 - THE NEEDS OF THOSE 2 COMPANIES.

46:48 - AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE

46:49 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS THAT IF

46:53 - THOSE INSTITUTIONS WOULD NEED

46:53 - SOME ASSISTANCE, THE OTHER

46:57 - COLLEGES STAND READY AND ABLE

46:58 - TO ALSO DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO

47:02 - MEET THOSE WORKFORCE NEEDS TO

47:03 - HELP RECRUIT MORE CAKE, RETAIN

47:04 - STUDENTS. SO WE WOULD ASK THAT

47:08 - THE LEGISLATURE LOOK AT OUR

47:10 - REQUEST FOR WORKFORCE FUNDING

47:11 - BECAUSE THAT TIES DIRECTLY INTO

47:12 - OUR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO REACT

47:15 - TO THOSE NEEDS.

47:16 - AND HELP PENNSYLVANIANS GET

47:20 - THESE HIGH WAGE LIFE CHANGING

47:22 - JOBS. I APPRECIATE THAT.

47:23 - I JUST WANT I WAS GOING TO ASK

47:24 - IF YOU COULD JUST EXPAND A

47:26 - LITTLE BIT FURTHER ON.

47:29 - HOW THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES

47:29 - OUR MEETING THOSE NEEDS AND THE

47:31 - IN-DEMAND IN THE HIGH NEED

47:34 - FIELDS AS WELL.

47:38 - SO IN PARTICULAR, LEHIGH

47:39 - CARBON IS DEVELOPING PROGRAMS

47:42 - SPECIFICALLY FOR ELI LILLY.

47:45 - AND AND BIO CHEM BIO MEDICAL.

47:47 - FIELDS. SO THERE'S ALSO SPACE

47:48 - FOR UNIVERSITIES IN THAT AS

47:49 - WELL. SO THAT WILL DEVELOP A

47:52 - CAREER

47:54 - PATHWAY AND MONTGOMERY ALSO

47:56 - ALREADY HAS SOME OF THOSE

47:58 - PROGRAMS. SO THEY WILL BE

47:59 - TAYLOR BANK TAILORING THEM

48:00 - SPECIFICALLY FOR J AND J'S

48:03 - NEEDS. BUT THAT'S THE CASE NO

48:06 - MATTER WHAT. WE ALSO HAVE AWS

48:07 - COMING IN ON BOTH THE EAST AND

48:09 - THE MIDDLE AND THE WEST.

48:10 - AND SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH

48:13 - THEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR TO

48:15 - DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO

48:15 - SPECIFICALLY MEET THE WORKFORCE

48:17 - NEEDS THAT THEY HAVE. I

48:20 - APPRECIATE THAT.

48:21 - COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE BEEN

48:23 - VERY NIMBLE WITHIN THEIR

48:24 - EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS AND TO

48:27 - ALLOW FOR STUDENTS TO

48:28 - REALLY DO TO BE ABLE TO PICK A

48:29 - PICK, A CAREER THAT THEY WANT

48:31 - TO WORK IN, BUT ALSO THE

48:32 - COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS BEEN

48:34 - REALLY GREAT IN BEING NIMBLE

48:38 - AND ABLE TO REFLECT THE NEEDS

48:39 - OF THE WORKFORCE IN THAT IN THE

48:41 - IMMEDIATE AREA WHERE THE

48:42 - SURROUNDING AREA WHICH THEY

48:44 - SERVE. AND THAT'S A REALLY

48:44 - IMPORTANT ASPECT TO COMMUNITY

48:45 - COLLEGES WANT TO FLIP OVER TO

48:48 - THE PAST. THE SCHOOL'S

48:50 - REAL QUICK SO CAN CAN YOU

48:51 - DESCRIBE ALSO SIMILARLY WHAT

48:54 - YOU'RE DOING TO TRY AND HAVE

48:55 - THE CAREER AND THE EDUCATIONAL

48:58 - OFFERINGS IN ORDER TO BE IN

49:02 - DEMAND FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE

49:04 - LOOKING FOR IN-DEMAND FIELDS

49:04 - AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE

49:06 - CURRENT WORKFORCE AND HOW

49:07 - YOU'RE PREPARING YOUR STUDENT

49:08 - BODY FOR THAT. ABSOLUTELY.

49:11 - THANK YOU.

49:12 - WELL, WE WERE VERY FOCUSED ON

49:15 - ON THE.

49:17 - MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE

49:17 - PREPARING GRADUATES WHO ARE

49:18 - MEETING THE NEEDS THAT WE'RE

49:20 - SEEING IN THE COMMONWEALTH AND

49:21 - IF YOU LOOK AT THE THE STUDENTS

49:25 - WERE GRADUATING THIS PAST YEAR

49:29 - OVER 13,000 STUDENTS GRADUATED

49:31 - IN BUSINESS, HEALTH SCIENCES,

49:34 - NURSING OTHER OTHER HEALTH

49:34 - PROGRAMS, EDUCATION, SOCIAL

49:37 - WORK, PSYCHOLOGY, ENGINEERING,

49:39 - ALL THE MAJOR AREAS THAT THAT

49:42 - THE COMMONWEALTH NEEDS, NEW

49:42 - EMPLOYEES AND WE'RE VERY

49:45 - FOCUSED ON.

49:46 - AND DOING THAT. AND IF I COULD

49:48 - FLIP OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE TO

49:49 - TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW

49:52 - PROGRAMS AT SLIPPERY ROCK THAT

49:52 - HAVE BEEN ADDED THAT ARE

49:53 - SHOWING SIGNIFICANT ENROLLMENT

49:56 - GROWTH. SURE.

49:58 - TO YOUR POINT ABOUT BEING

50:00 - NIMBLE AND MOVING QUICKLY.

50:01 - WE ARE TRYING TO MOVE AT THE

50:02 - PACE OF INDUSTRY RATHER THAN AT

50:06 - THE PACE OF THE HISTORIC HIGHER

50:07 - ED. SO WE ADDED 3 NEW PROGRAMS

50:12 - LAST YEAR. WE ADDED A

50:13 - CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT.

50:15 - WE ADDED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

50:18 - WHICH BUILD OUT OUR ENTIRE

50:19 - ENGINEERING. SWEET. AND AND

50:21 - THEN WE ADDED ANOTHER PATHWAY

50:23 - FOR NURSING. WE LOOK AT THOSE

50:27 - 3 PROGRAMS ALONE. THE

50:30 - APPLICATIONS ARE ALMOST 400

50:31 - IN JUST THOSE PROGRAMS ALONE.

50:34 - HAD WE NOT ADDED THOSE AND

50:37 - WE'RE UP. AND IN BOTH DEPOSITS

50:38 - IN AND ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF

50:42 - THINGS THAT HAD WE NOT ADDED

50:43 - THOSE AND ADDED THEM QUICKLY,

50:45 - WE ACTUALLY WOULD BE DOWN IN

50:46 - DEPOSITS IN MORE TRADITIONAL

50:49 - PROGRAMS. SO THE TO YOUR POINT,

50:50 - WE HAVE TO BE NIMBLE. WE HAVE

50:52 - TO BE QUICK AND WE HAVE TO MAKE

50:55 - SURE THAT WE ARE OFFERING THE

50:58 - PROGRAM'S A CONTEMPORARY, A

50:59 - RATE.

50:59 - WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

51:00 - THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT.

51:03 - THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT

51:05 - TO THE COMMONWEALTH AND MAKING

51:06 - SURE THAT WE'RE TRAINING OUR

51:07 - FUTURE WORKFORCE NEEDS ABOUT TO

51:08 - THROW A FLAG ON ME. THANK YOU,

51:10 - MR. CHAIRMAN.

51:12 - THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

51:13 - REPRESENTATIVE KRUPA, THANK

51:15 - YOU, MR. CHAIR.

51:16 - THIS IS THE 4TH A BUDGET YEAR

51:18 - SINCE THE FORMAL INTEGRATION

51:20 - OF 6 UNIVERSITIES IN THE PENN

51:22 - WEST AND THE COMMONWEALTH

51:24 - UNIVERSITIES IS THE

51:25 - INTEGRATION. THE UNIVERSITY

51:25 - STILL AN ONGOING PROCESS OR

51:26 - SHOULD WE CONSIDER COMPLETE?

51:32 - WELL, THANK YOU IT. IT'S IT

51:33 - WAS PROBABLY ALWAYS GOING TO BE

51:37 - AN ONGOING PROCESS HIGHER.

51:38 - ED, AT THIS POINT ACROSS THE

51:40 - BOARD IS IS THAT A MAJOR

51:40 - INFLECTION POINT? WE HAVE SO

51:41 - MANY DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPENING

51:45 - RIGHT NOW WITHIN HIGHER

51:45 - EDUCATION. WE'VE TALKED ALREADY

51:47 - A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

51:48 - DEMOGRAPHICS. WE TALKED ABOUT

51:50 - THE SHIFT TO ONLINE EDUCATION.

51:52 - WE HAVE. WE'RE SEEING THAT A

51:54 - GREATER PERCENTAGE OF HIGH

51:55 - SCHOOL GRADUATES ARE CHOOSING

51:57 - NOT TO GO TO COLLEGE AT ALL.

51:59 - SO THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THE

52:03 - WHAT WE CAN SAY THIS POINT.

52:06 - WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL

52:07 - AND ENSURING THAT WE ARE

52:08 - CONTINUING TO OFFER PROGRAM

52:10 - OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS IN

52:12 - THESE VERY RURAL AREAS OF THE

52:12 - COMMONWEALTH AS A RESULT OF

52:15 - COMBINING

52:16 - THE SCHOOLS, THE WORK CONTINUES

52:18 - IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT

52:19 - WE'RE STREAMLINING WE'VE WE'VE

52:20 - CONTINUE TO FACE CHALLENGES

52:21 - IN TERMS OF ENROLLMENT, SAYS

52:24 - WE'VE GOING FORWARD. THE

52:26 - SCHOOLS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB,

52:27 - REALIGNING THEIR THEIR

52:28 - ADMINISTRATIONS TO BE MORE

52:30 - EFFICIENT. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE

52:31 - PROGRAM OR AGE, MAKING SURE

52:32 - THAT THE THINGS THAT WE'RE

52:34 - OFFERING ARE MEETING THE NEEDS

52:36 - OF THE COMMONWEALTH AND FOCUSED

52:37 - ON THE DEMAND THAT WE'RE SEEING

52:40 - FROM THE STUDENTS. SO WE'RE

52:41 - SEEING A LOT OF SUCCESS AS A

52:43 - RESULT OF THE INTEGRATIONS.

52:46 - BUT I WOULD I WOULD NOT SAY

52:48 - THAT THAT IT'S IT'S COMPLETE

52:49 - AND WE'RE OPERATING JUST

52:50 - BUSINESS AS USUAL. WE'RE

52:53 - CONTINUING TO WORK ON IMPROVING

52:56 - THINGS, IDENTIFYING NEW

52:57 - OPPORTUNITIES TO TO MAKE

52:58 - IMPROVEMENTS AND CONTINUING TO

53:00 - MOVE FORWARD. FROM ONE OF THOSE

53:01 - RURAL AREAS, I REPRESENT THE

53:01 - 51ST HOUSE DISTRICT THAT

53:05 - SOUTHERN FAYETTE COUNTY.

53:05 - AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT LOOKS

53:09 - LIKE OUR PAY IT THAT PENN STATE

53:11 - BRANCH CAMPUSES WILL BE

53:11 - COMPLETELY CLOSED OR AT LEAST

53:12 - IT'S IT'S TRENDING THAT WAY.

53:15 - SO MAYBE YOU'LL SEE AN INFLUX

53:16 - AND AND YOUR STUDENTS TO AS A

53:19 - RESULT OF THAT. BUT

53:20 - WITH A SPECIFICALLY TO THE

53:22 - INTEGRATION PLAN LAID OUT.

53:23 - THERE WERE SPECIFIC MILESTONES

53:23 - IN KEY FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS.

53:28 - HAVE THE UNIVERSITY'S MET THOSE

53:28 - MILESTONES AND ARE THE

53:29 - FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS STILL

53:31 - ACCURATE?

53:36 - SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOARD

53:36 - APPROVED PLAN ON THE SAVING

53:38 - SIDE, IT WAS A CONSERVATIVE

53:41 - ESTIMATE

53:43 - WE LOOKED SOLELY AT NON

53:46 - FACULTY PERSONNEL, SAVINGS.

53:47 - THEY'VE ACTUALLY EXCEEDED A

53:52 - SAVINGS BOOK THE TIME OF BOARD

53:53 - APPROVAL NOW BECAUSE THEY'VE

53:55 - BEEN MAKING CONTINUOUS

53:56 - ADJUSTMENT, SAYS THE CHANCELLOR

53:57 - MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, ENROLLMENT

53:59 - HAS DECLINED. AND SO THEY'VE

54:00 - BEEN MAKING THOSE ADJUSTMENTS

54:03 - FROM A MILESTONE PERSPECTIVE.

54:07 - THIS WOULD BE AND OF COURSE,

54:08 - THE BOARD APPROVED PLAN THE

54:11 - LAST YEAR OF THAT PLAN. THE

54:14 - ENROLLMENT SIDE. IF YOU GO BACK

54:17 - TO THOSE PROJECTIONS WAS OFF.

54:17 - AND SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE

54:18 - EXPENDITURE US MONTHS HAVE BEEN

54:20 - GREATER THAN WHAT WAS

54:21 - ORIGINALLY PROJECTED.

54:22 - THERE WERE CONCERNS WITH THE

54:24 - STRUCTURAL DEFICIT AT PENN

54:25 - WEST. WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO

54:28 - TACKLE THIS PROBLEM AND IS IT

54:28 - IMPROVING? YOU DO HAVE A TIME

54:29 - FRAME ON WHEN IT WILL BE

54:31 - ELIMINATED.

54:35 - FOR PENN WEST FROM UP.

54:36 - AND YET PERSPECTIVE, YOU

54:39 - KNOW, THANK YOU TO THE GENERAL

54:40 - ASSEMBLY FOR THE FUNDS FOR TO

54:43 - FEES MEANT SO WE WERE ABLE TO

54:46 - DEFUSE ABOUT 65 MILLION OF

54:46 - THEIR SYSTEM ISSUED BONDS WHICH

54:49 - HELP.

54:51 - ADDRESS A PIECE OF THAT

54:53 - STRUCTURAL DEFICIT THAT TOOK

54:54 - DOWN THEIR ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE

54:55 - BY ABOUT 8 MILLION. IT WAS

54:56 - AROUND 30 MILLION. THEY HAD

54:59 - I GUESS AND GOING INTO THE

55:05 - INTEGRATIONS. I THINK.

55:07 - THEY ARE CONTINUING TO ADDRESS

55:09 - AT PENN WEST IN THE PLANS THAT

55:11 - WE PRESENT TO YOU OR THAT WE

55:16 - RECEIVE HAVE ABOUT A 2 YEAR

55:16 - PLAN TO ADDRESS THE STRUCTURAL

55:17 - DEFICIT AND COMMONWEALTH THIS

55:18 - WORKING THROUGH THURSDAY AS

55:19 - WELL.

55:21 - HAVE THERE BEEN ANY

55:21 - UNEXPECTED ISSUES? A CHALLENGE

55:23 - IS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN

55:26 - THROUGH THE AND ABRASIONS.

55:31 - YEAH. THIS THIS WAS UNCHARTED

55:31 - TERRITORY TO A GREAT EXTENT.

55:34 - WE MADE ASSUMPTIONS. WE MADE

55:35 - ASSUMPTIONS AROUND HOW MUCH

55:37 - WE THOUGHT WE COULD SAVE IN

55:39 - TERMS ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD.

55:41 - WE'RE GOING THROUGH A CAREFUL

55:43 - ANALYSIS OF THAT NOW. AND

55:44 - UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK SOME

55:47 - OF THE PROJECTIONS WERE WERE

55:48 - OVER ESTIMATES OF WHAT THE

55:49 - POTENTIAL SAVINGS WERE. SO

55:51 - WE'RE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO

55:53 - THAT. WE'RE LEARNING AS WE GO

55:54 - AND WE'RE ADJUSTING TO THE NEW

55:56 - INFORMATION AS WE GET IT RIGHT

55:59 - NOW WHERE WE'RE WORKING ON THE

56:01 - ALLOCATION FORMULA THAT WE

56:01 - UTILIZE TO DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY

56:06 - THAT WE RECEIVE. IN IN STATE

56:07 - APPROPRIATION. AND IN THE LAST

56:10 - ROUND OF THAT APPROPRIATION FOR

56:10 - ME THAT WE HAD BUILDING

56:12 - ASSUMPTIONS RELATED TO THE

56:13 - POTENTIAL SAVINGS. AND SO WE'RE

56:15 - TAKING A HARD LOOK AT HOW THAT

56:16 - WORKED OUT AND WHETHER WE NEED

56:17 - TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS IN

56:19 - TERMS OF WHERE THE MONEY GOES,

56:20 - BASED ON WHAT THE OPPORTUNITIES

56:22 - ARE FOR FOR SAVINGS GOING

56:24 - FORWARD.

56:24 - LOOKS LIKE I'M OUT OF TIME.

56:25 - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING

56:27 - HERE.

56:27 - THANK YOU, JENNA LADY,

56:30 - REPRESENTATIVE FLEMING.

56:32 - GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

56:33 - I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR

56:36 - WHAT YOU DO AS

56:37 - A CHAIRMAN ALLUDED TO EARLIER,

56:39 - I'M PROUD MILLER SO GRADUATE,

56:39 - BUT I DID ATTEND HARRISBURG

56:43 - AREA, COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR ONE

56:44 - YEAR BEFORE GOING ON TO

56:45 - MILLERSVILLE. SO I WAS A

56:46 - TRANSFER STUDENT AND I WORKED

56:49 - OUT WELL AND I'M VERY FORTUNATE

56:52 - FOR THE PATH THAT WAS THAT WAS

56:55 - PROVIDED TO ME BY VIRTUE OF

56:58 - BEING ABLE TO AFFORD COMMUNITY

56:59 - COLLEGE AND THEN FOR MY

57:00 - EDUCATION AT MILLERSVILLE

57:03 - UNIVERSITY, WE

57:05 - TALKED TO THE STATE RELATED

57:07 - ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY.

57:07 - AND I WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS

57:10 - BOTH ON THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

57:11 - SIDE AND ON THE PAST SHE SIGNED

57:14 - ABOUT DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND

57:15 - HOW, YOU KNOW, DEFERRED

57:19 - MAINTENANCE FOR YOU KNOW,

57:19 - BUILDING UPGRADES AND THINGS

57:22 - LIKE THAT. HOW THAT FACTORS IN

57:23 - DO YOU GET ON? I GUESS WE'LL

57:24 - START WITH A PASSION. SIDE.

57:26 - FIRST IS IS THAT SORT OF UP TO

57:28 - EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIVERSITY AND

57:31 - THEIR BOARD OF THEIR BOARDS TO

57:33 - THEIR BOARDS OF TRUSTEES TO

57:33 - KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT'S ON

57:35 - THE PRIORITY LIST IN TERMS OF,

57:37 - YOU KNOW, WHEN BUILDINGS GET

57:38 - BILL WHEN UPGRADES ARE MADE,

57:40 - AT CETERA.

57:42 - YEAH, THAT THOSE ARE LOCAL

57:42 - DECISIONS. AND UNFORTUNATELY.

57:48 - IN A WORLD OF OF STRESSFUL

57:49 - BUDGETS. I DEFERRED MAKE THAT

57:51 - WERE DEFERRED. IS IT IS THE

57:55 - THE ACTION WORD THERE. OFTEN

57:56 - TIMES IF WE HAD HAVE TO CUT

57:57 - COSTS AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO

57:58 - SQUEEZE ONE MORE YEAR OUT OF

58:01 - THAT ROOF OR WE'RE NOT A YEAR

58:05 - AND THAT BOY OR WHATEVER.

58:05 - AND IS IT TRUE AT THIS POINT?

58:07 - IT'S IT'S REALLY ARE AT A

58:09 - CRISIS LEVEL ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

58:12 - WE HAVE HUGE AMOUNTS OF

58:13 - DEFERRED MAINTENANCE OR LET ME

58:14 - DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUE. SHE CAN

58:15 - SPEAK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE

58:18 - CIRCUMSTANCE THAT HER

58:19 - UNIVERSITY, BECAUSE IT'S IT'S

58:19 - TYPICAL IN THAT SITUATION

58:22 - ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

58:23 - SO SUPER IRAQ RIGHT NOW HAS

58:26 - ABOUT

58:28 - 180 MILLION DOLLARS OF DEFERRED

58:28 - MAINTENANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN

58:31 - BEEN MET. WE HAVE ABOUT 35%

58:34 - OF OUR ENERGY BUILDINGS ARE

58:38 - OVER 50 YEARS OLD. SO YES, LAST

58:41 - YEAR WE

58:45 - HAD TO INVEST SEVERAL MILLION

58:46 - DOLLARS WORTH OF HE PUMPS AND

58:47 - THOSE KINDS OF THINGS BECAUSE

58:50 - WE HAD SITUATIONS WHERE.

58:52 - SEVERAL OF THEM ARE BREAKING

58:54 - ALL AT ONCE. IT'S NOT THE SAME

58:57 - AS HAVING YOUR OWN FURNESS

58:58 - BREAK. WHEN I'VE GOT, YOU KNOW,

59:00 - HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS

59:01 - WITHOUT HEAT THAT HAS TO BE

59:02 - ADDRESSED RIGHT THEN. AND THAT

59:05 - BECOMES A PRIORITY. I DO WANT

59:05 - TO PUT A COUPLE OF OTHER

59:08 - THINGS. ON PEOPLE'S RADARS.

59:13 - NUMBER ONE, IT'S NOT JUST A

59:14 - ROOF OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

59:18 - WE ARE ACTUALLY BUY KICKING THE

59:21 - CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR DEFERRED

59:22 - MAINTENANCE. ALSO LIMITING THE

59:26 - EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF OUR

59:26 - STUDENTS, SOME OF THE

59:29 - FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE NO

59:29 - LONGER ARE UP TO DATE, MUCH

59:31 - LESS CUTTING EDGE. AND THAT'S

59:35 - NOT PART OF OUR MISSION.

59:35 - WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A

59:36 - LOW-COST OPTION, BUT WE ARE

59:40 - SUPPOSED TO BE PROVIDING AN

59:41 - EXCELLENT EDUCATION. THE OTHER

59:45 - THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT CYBER

59:49 - IS THE NUMBER ONE RISK FOR ANY

59:50 - HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION,

59:51 - WHETHER THAT BE A PASSION

59:52 - INSTITUTION, THE STATE RELATED

59:55 - OR COMMUNITY COLLEGE. SO WE

59:55 - TALK ABOUT DEFERRED MAINTENANCE

59:57 - FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. WE'RE ALSO

59:59 - 108 PUTTING OURSELVES AT GREAT RISK

01:00 - 05.077 FOR CYBER ATTACKS.

01:00 - 06.845 I JUST ADD REAL QUICKLY.

01:00 - 09.081 WE ONLY HAVE RESOURCES OF

01:00 - 10.916 FUNDING FOR DEFERRED

01:00 - 12.985 MAINTENANCE. WE GET KEY 93

01:00 - 15.020 FUNDS WITH THE UNIVERSITY

01:00 - 17.022 OPERATING AND THEN WE HAVE

01:00 - 18.257 STARTED TO BEGIN TO USE SOME OF

01:00 - 18.959 THE DGS CAPITAL FUNDING, WHICH

01:00 - 23.228 IS 70 MILLION A YEAR FOR ALL

01:00 - 23.997 10 UNIVERSITIES TO DO.

01:00 - 26.098 RENOVATIONS. NEW, A NEW

01:00 - 28.067 CONSTRUCTION AS WELL AS NOW.

01:00 - 29.301 SOME OF THAT LARGER DEFERRED

01:00 - 29.970 MAINTENANCE THAT SITTING ON

01:00 - 32.504 CAMPUSES. SO THE FUNDING IS

01:00 - 35.975 LIMITED.

01:00 - 37.076 SITUATIONS VERY SIMILAR.

01:00 - 37.810 A COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS OUTDATED

01:00 - 38.511 INFRASTRUCTURE, TRYING TO KEEP

01:00 - 40.679 PACE WITH THAT AS IT COMES UP

01:00 - 43.782 EACH YEAR.

01:00 - 44.817 SO THERE ARE.

01:00 - 47.419 INDIVIDUAL DEFERRED MAINTENANCE

01:00 - 48.054 PLANS THAT EACH OF THE 15

01:00 - 50.556 COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT ADDRESS

01:00 - 54.627 THEIR GREATEST NEEDS.

01:00 - 55.495 AND FOR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES,

01:00 - 57.463 THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING

01:00 - 59.231 THE OTHER 50%. THE STATE DOES

01:00 - 59.866 NOT FULLY FUND ANY CAPITAL

01:00 - 02.501 REQUESTS THAT COME IN TO US.

01:01 - 03.370 THAT'S IN CODE.

01:01 - 04.436 AND SO THAT'S ALSO BEEN A

01:01 - 08.407 LIMITING FACTOR AS WELL.

01:01 - 09.142 SO EVEN IF YOU CAN APPLY AND BE

01:01 - 11.010 FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET ANY

01:01 - 14.580 TYPE OF FUNDS FROM THE STATE.

01:01 - 15.314 WE HAVE TO TO FIND A LOCAL

01:01 - 15.915 MATCH. THAT'S ALSO BEEN

01:01 - 18.450 LIMITING. BUT PERHAPS THE

01:01 - 23.656 PRESIDENT.

01:01 - 25.391 WE WE HAVE SEVERAL TIERS OF

01:01 - 26.092 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE PROJECTS

01:01 - 27.426 THAT WE HAVE A COMMUNITY

01:01 - 30.963 COLLEGE OF PHILADELPHIA AS WE

01:01 - 32.965 MENTION, CELEBRATING 60 YEARS,

01:01 - 35.934 SOME OF OUR BUILDINGS ARE 60

01:01 - 37.703 YEARS OLD. AND SO WE WERE

01:01 - 38.303 FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO

01:01 - 38.905 PARTICIPATE AND HAVE THE

01:01 - 42.307 ADVANTAGE OF THOSE FUNDINGS

01:01 - 43.275 FROM THE STATE IN TERMS OF

01:01 - 44.143 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE PROJECTS

01:01 - 44.878 FOR THIS YEAR. SO WE'RE EXCITED

01:01 - 47.479 ABOUT THAT. OVER 20 MILLION

01:01 - 49.114 DOLLAR PROJECT. WHAT THAT IS

01:01 - 51.116 THAT THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG

01:01 - 53.185 AND AS DR STANLEY MENTIONED,

01:01 - 54.119 WE ALSO HAVE TO FIND MATCHES

01:01 - 55.088 FOR THOSE ANY TIME. WE WANT TO

01:01 - 58.957 DO THAT TYPE OF SERVICE.

01:01 - 59.591 YOU ARE BUILDING SO IT IS

01:01 - 59.893 TIGHT.

01:01 - 02.061 YEAH, I'D LOVE TO SEE SOME

01:02 - 04.263 SORT OF FUN FOR K 12 EDUCATION

01:02 - 06.498 FOR MAINTENANCE AND MAYBE WE

01:02 - 07.200 COULD CONSIDER HIGHER AS WELL.

01:02 - 08.200 SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.

01:02 - 08.935 CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

01:02 - 11.403 REPRESENTATIVE ALL SUMMER.

01:02 - 12.038 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN,

01:02 - 14.740 THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE

01:02 - 16.375 TODAY.

01:02 - 19.678 I'M A PROUD GRADUATE OF EAST

01:02 - 22.481 STROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY. SO GET

01:02 - 24.683 RIGHT TO MY QUESTION. OBVIOUSLY

01:02 - 26.652 THE BETTER PREPARED STUDENTS

01:02 - 27.886 ARE WHEN THEY ENTER YOUR

01:02 - 30.022 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, THE

01:02 - 33.192 MORE EFFECTIVE YOU CAN BE WHEN

01:02 - 35.160 EDUCATING THEM.

01:02 - 35.795 AND THE QUICKER THEY MOVE

01:02 - 40.866 THROUGH YOUR SYSTEMS TO

01:02 - 42.968 COMPLETION. BUT I'M SURE ALL OF

01:02 - 46.071 YOU MUST PROVIDE SOME FORM OF

01:02 - 50.175 REMEDIAL EDUCATION

01:02 - 51.276 IS THE NEED FOR REMEDIAL

01:02 - 54.313 EDUCATION AT YOUR COLLEGES AND

01:02 - 54.947 UNIVERSITIES INCREASING OR

01:02 - 55.682 DECREASING. AND I'll START WITH.

01:02 - 01.754 THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE'S FIRST.

01:03 - 03.622 SO I CAN GO AHEAD AND KICK

01:03 - 04.823 THINGS OFF. I DON'T HAVE THE

01:03 - 05.558 EXACT NUMBER WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

01:03 - 09.361 BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP

01:03 - 11.730 WITH YOU ON THAT. FROM WHAT I

01:03 - 12.432 UNDERSTAND IT IS AND HAS BEEN

01:03 - 15.701 INCREASING SLIGHTLY. AND SO WE

01:03 - 16.435 ARE AND, YOU KNOW, AND SO

01:03 - 17.070 NEARLY TAKING STOCK OF OUR

01:03 - 19.471 STUDENTS AND THEIR PREPAREDNESS

01:03 - 20.539 WHEN THEY

01:03 - 21.540 COME IN, ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE

01:03 - 23.876 SURE THAT WE'RE TESTING IN THE

01:03 - 24.610 APPROPRIATE WAYS FOR THE LEVELS

01:03 - 25.245 THAT THEY'RE COMING IN AT.

01:03 - 27.746 AND THEN, YOU KNOW, MODIFYING

01:03 - 30.616 OR COURSES ACCORDINGLY.

01:03 - 31.351 WE'LL SPEAK TO COMMITTEE CALLED

01:03 - 33.285 THE PHILADELPHIA ADDITIONALLY,

01:03 - 34.653 OUR NUMBERS ARE INCREASING.

01:03 - 34.988 HOWEVER.

01:03 - 37.856 WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED WHAT WE

01:03 - 38.792 CALL BACK PATHWAYS AND

01:03 - 41.426 ACCELERATED LEARNING PATHWAYS,

01:03 - 42.162 WHICH IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAIR

01:03 - 45.097 COURSES, DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES

01:03 - 45.765 WITH CREDIT COURSES AND YOU

01:03 - 49.902 ADJUST IN TIMING, MEDIATION

01:03 - 50.537 TYPE OF HAD A GOATEE WHICH

01:03 - 51.637 REALLY MINIMIZES THE TIME.

01:03 - 52.338 SO I THINK AT THE END OF THE

01:03 - 54.373 DAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GETTING

01:03 - 56.408 STUDENTS THROUGH MORE QUICKLY.

01:03 - 57.343 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW DO WE

01:03 - 58.844 DO THAT? AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT

01:03 - 59.512 BE THAT WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT

01:03 - 02.614 NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE

01:04 - 03.550 PLACING IN DEVELOPMENTAL,

01:04 - 06.418 PARTICULARLY AS YOU KNOW, THAT

01:04 - 07.419 BECAUSE OF PHILADELPHIA IS A

01:04 - 08.153 MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTION.

01:04 - 08.888 DISPROPORTIONATELY STUDENTS OF

01:04 - 11.023 COLOR TEND TO PLACE IN

01:04 - 12.925 DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION.

01:04 - 13.793 SO WE ARE AN OPEN ACCESS

01:04 - 15.828 INSTITUTION. WE HAVE HUNDREDS

01:04 - 16.862 OF STUDENTS THAT NEED THAT

01:04 - 17.564 WE'RE WORKING THROUGH. HOW DO

01:04 - 19.731 WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT

01:04 - 20.433 WASTING TIME AND THEY'RE STILL

01:04 - 24.169 MOVING THROUGH QUICKLY, EVEN

01:04 - 24.871 IF THEY COME WITH A FEW SKILLS

01:04 - 27.739 THAT THEY'RE LACKING IN MATH

01:04 - 28.374 AND ENGLISH, FOR EXAMPLE,

01:04 - 29.842 ADDITIONAL PIECE OF THAT IS

01:04 - 31.844 WORKING WITH OUR SCHOOL

01:04 - 32.978 DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT

01:04 - 34.046 WE'RE ALIGNING OUR CURRICULUM

01:04 - 34.713 SO THAT WHEN THEY GET TO US,

01:04 - 35.348 THEY HAVE WHAT THEY NEED.

01:04 - 38.884 SO WE'RE LOOKING AT TRYING TO

01:04 - 43.622 HIT AT MULTIPLE WASTE.

01:04 - 44.623 WE SPEAK ABOUT REMEDIAL.

01:04 - 45.291 EDUCATION TYPICALLY WEEK.

01:04 - 48.060 THAT MEANS FOR US. THEY DON'T

01:04 - 49.094 GET CREDIT

01:04 - 51.864 FOR IT. WE REALIZE THAT THAT

01:04 - 52.599 WAS PROBABLY A BAD IDEA BECAUSE

01:04 - 53.966 MANY STUDENTS WERE COMING IN

01:04 - 55.901 AND IN THEIR FIRST SEMESTER

01:04 - 58.136 INSTEAD OF TAKING A FULL LOAD

01:04 - 58.872 OF COURSES, THEY MAY HAVE TAKEN

01:04 - 00.939 A REMEDIAL ENGLISH CLASS AND

01:05 - 02.975 THE REMEDIAL MATH CLASS AND

01:05 - 03.909 ENDED UP WITH ONLY 6 EVEN

01:05 - 04.844 BEFORE THEY FINISH THEIR FIRST

01:05 - 06.845 YEAR. THEY'RE BEHIND THE 8 BALL

01:05 - 08.146 IN TERMS OF THE PACE FOR

01:05 - 08.815 GRADUATION. SO WE TENDED TO

01:05 - 15.921 MOVE THESE KINDS OF THINGS INTO

01:05 - 16.655 THE SUMMER AND WHAT WE FOCUS ON

01:05 - 17.156 WITH WE ARE ACCESS

01:05 - 19.291 INSTITUTIONS. WE KNOW THAT WE

01:05 - 21.126 BRING IN MANY STUDENTS WHO ARE

01:05 - 23.195 COMING WITH CHALLENGES, WHETHER

01:05 - 25.130 THEY BE ACADEMIC CHALLENGES,

01:05 - 25.798 FINANCIAL CHALLENGES, STUDY

01:05 - 28.033 SKILLS. THERE ARE A WHOLE ARRAY

01:05 - 30.168 OF CHALLENGES THAT PUT THEM AT

01:05 - 32.204 RISK IN TERMS OF BEING

01:05 - 32.972 SUCCESSFUL AND ALL OF OUR

01:05 - 36.174 INSTITUTIONS ARE NOW FOCUSING A

01:05 - 37.576 LOT OF EFFORT. LOT

01:05 - 39.945 OF PERSONNEL IN ROLES LIKE ALL

01:05 - 41.580 DIFFERENT THINGS. MENTORS,

01:05 - 42.180 CONCIERGE SUPPORT REALLY

01:05 - 42.849 FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT

01:05 - 45.250 WE'RE MEETING THE STUDENTS

01:05 - 48.253 WHERE THEY ARE AND HELPING THEM

01:05 - 49.222 TO BE PREPARED TO MEET THE

01:05 - 51.356 STANDARDS, TO MAKE PROGRESS

01:05 - 52.457 TOWARDS GRADUATION. SO THOSE

01:05 - 54.426 SUMMER WINTER PROGRAMS, IF I'M

01:05 - 58.430 NOT GO SUMMER THAN JANUARY.

01:05 - 00.265 INTEGRATION. DO YOU HAVE ANY

01:06 - 00.934 IDEA ON THE SUCCESS RATIO OF

01:06 - 03.602 THOSE STUDENTS? IT START OFF IN

01:06 - 05.437 THE SUMMER.

01:06 - 06.139 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY

01:06 - 07.639 ANECDOTES, BUT WE CAN. WE CAN

01:06 - 10.642 LOOK THAT UP AND GET THAT TO

01:06 - 12.911 YOU. MY MY MY GENERAL SENSE

01:06 - 13.646 IS THAT IT'S QUITE SUCCESSFUL.

01:06 - 14.813 THEY I MEAN, THEY COME AND THEY

01:06 - 18.850 STAND A RESIDENCE HALL PERIOD

01:06 - 20.786 OF WEEKS AND THEY GET A FEEL

01:06 - 21.853 FOR WHAT LIFE IS LIKE ON THE

01:06 - 22.788 COLLEGE CAMPUS, WHICH IS ONE,

01:06 - 23.489 OF COURSE, THE BIG CHALLENGING

01:06 - 25.891 TRANSITIONS FOR STUDENTS WHO

01:06 - 26.458 ARE COMING INTO HIGHER

01:06 - 27.126 EDUCATION AND MOVING INTO AN

01:06 - 30.262 ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY HAVE

01:06 - 30.696 MUCH GREATER.

01:06 - 31.597 A SELF RESPONSIBILITY COMPARED

01:06 - 35.500 TO WHAT THEY'RE COMING FROM

01:06 - 38.503 SO WE GENERALLY WE SEE IT TO BE

01:06 - 39.172 SUCCESSFUL. WE CAN GET SOME

01:06 - 40.572 NUMBERS. YEAH, OR JUMP START

01:06 - 43.408 PROGRAM IS EXCEEDINGLY

01:06 - 44.043 SUCCESSFUL. SO WE LOOK FOR

01:06 - 47.346 STUDENTS WHO?

01:06 - 48.281 MY FOR ANY REASON FEEL THAT

01:06 - 50.382 THEY NEED A LITTLE BIT OF AN

01:06 - 52.351 EXTRA BOOST AT THE VERY

01:06 - 54.319 BEGINNING. THIS WOULD NOT BE

01:06 - 54.921 FALLING TO THE REMEDIAL

01:06 - 56.288 CATEGORY, BUT IT DOES GIVE OUR

01:06 - 59.791 STUDENTS A LEG UP IN THAT

01:06 - 00.526 SPACE. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT

01:07 - 02.995 WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN

01:07 - 06.832 STUDENTS THAT HAVE 504, PLANS

01:07 - 08.700 AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

01:07 - 09.334 AND WE ARE WE HAVE A GREAT

01:07 - 10.069 FACULTY AND STAFF THAT ARE ABLE

01:07 - 12.404 TO MEET THOSE STUDENTS NEED.

01:07 - 15.507 SO AGAIN, AS CHANCELLOR FEARON

01:07 - 16.541 TINO SAID, OUR JOB IS NOT FOR

01:07 - 18.777 THOSE STUDENTS TO BE READY FOR

01:07 - 22.514 US. BUT UP FOR US TO BE READY

01:07 - 23.582 FOR THEM. AND SO

01:07 - 25.083 WE HAVE ADDED PROGRAMS ADDED

01:07 - 25.785 TRAINING ADDED GREAT STAFF IN

01:07 - 30.288 ORDER TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS

01:07 - 30.889 THAT COME IN, PERHAPS A

01:07 - 31.557 DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLE OR

01:07 - 33.425 LIVE DIFFERENT LEARNING

01:07 - 33.760 PROFILE.

01:07 - 35.560 THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

01:07 - 38.597 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK

01:07 - 39.765 YOU, GENTLEMEN. REPRESENTATIVE

01:07 - 40.632 BRANNAN, THANK YOU, MR.

01:07 - 41.534 CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU ALL FOR

01:07 - 43.235 BEING HERE TODAY. I'M A FORMER

01:07 - 43.903 COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROFESSOR,

01:07 - 46.004 ONE OF THE SOME OF THE BEST

01:07 - 47.839 DAYS OF MY LAST LIFE. I KNOW

01:07 - 48.508 THE TRANSFORMATIVE WORK THAT

01:07 - 51.376 YOU ALL DO IN OUR COMMUNITY.

01:07 - 53.245 COLLEGES ARE PAST THE SCHOOLS.

01:07 - 53.946 IT IS A IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE

01:07 - 56.381 KIDS COMING THROUGH AND DOING

01:07 - 57.482 GREAT

01:07 - 58.184 THINGS. SO I AM A I'M GOING TO

01:07 - 00.052 COME BACK TO A TOPIC THAT

01:08 - 03.121 REPRESENTATIVE RUGBY HAD ASKED

01:08 - 04.689 ABOUT THE 10 MILLION DOLLARS

01:08 - 05.358 AND FIRST-RESPONDER TRAINING

01:08 - 08.193 FUNDING. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY

01:08 - 08.694 MANY OF OUR LOCAL

01:08 - 12.230 MUNICIPALITIES ARE FACING A

01:08 - 12.799 CLIFF TRYING TO FIND

01:08 - 14.466 VOLUNTEERS. IT COULD BE A HUGE

01:08 - 18.403 EXPENSE FOR FOR MUNICIPALITIES.

01:08 - 19.504 I MEAN, I'M WONDERING WHEN OR

01:08 - 20.505 IF YOU COULD MAYBE ELABORATE A

01:08 - 21.540 LITTLE FURTHER ON SOME OF THE

01:08 - 23.241 SPECIFIC BENEFITS YOU'D EXPECT

01:08 - 24.576 SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT

01:08 - 25.211 BE BEING HELD BACK BECAUSE

01:08 - 26.945 WE'RE LOSING. WE DON'T HAVE THE

01:08 - 30.082 FUNDING ALLOCATED ONE OF THOSE

01:08 - 31.917 BENEFITS THAT THIS THIS FUNDING

01:08 - 33.952 MIGHT ACTUALLY GO IT. MORE OF A

01:08 - 34.686 TANGIBLE. WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE WE

01:08 - 35.388 HOLDING BACK ON AND WHAT COULD

01:08 - 37.889 BE OUT THERE TO BE USED USING

01:08 - 39.691 THAT FUN FOR?

01:08 - 42.727 SURE. I'D BE HAPPY TO TO

01:08 - 43.995 START SO.

01:08 - 46.998 THEY'RE VERY EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS

01:08 - 47.632 TO RUN, AS YOU MIGHT KNOW,

01:08 - 48.301 BECAUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT AND

01:08 - 51.937 EVEN UNIFORMS AND THINGS LIKE

01:08 - 52.504 THAT THAT HAVE TO BE.

01:08 - 53.205 ALWAYS UP TO DATE. AND, YOU

01:08 - 54.006 KNOW, SAFETY IS A PRIORITY FOR

01:08 - 55.874 US. SO WE HAVE A BURNED

01:08 - 58.877 BUILDING. IT BC 3, FOR EXAMPLE.

01:08 - 00.745 AND ANY TIME WE NEED TO DO

01:09 - 01.913 MAINTENANCE ON THAT BUILDING IS

01:09 - 03.882 UPWARDS OF $8200,000. AND

01:09 - 04.649 THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE.

01:09 - 05.318 WE ALSO HAVE A RAIL CAR AND

01:09 - 08.353 OTHER FIRE SIMULATIONS. A

01:09 - 09.055 FLASHOVER ON CAMPUS. AND THOSE

01:09 - 12.524 REQUIRE CONSISTENT ME. IT'S TO

01:09 - 15.393 BE SAFE IN TERMS OF THE

01:09 - 16.495 TRAINING WE DO OUR BEST TO

01:09 - 18.330 PROVIDE HEAVILY SUBSIDIZE AND

01:09 - 19.031 IN SOME CASE, FREE TRAINING TO

01:09 - 22.300 THE FIREFIGHTERS, PARTICULARLY

01:09 - 24.169 WITHIN OUR COUNTY. AND WE WANT

01:09 - 26.071 TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DO

01:09 - 30.175 THAT. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT

01:09 - 30.876 INCREASINGLY IS IS A RISK THAT

01:09 - 31.576 WE ARE FACING WORK. I'M BASING

01:09 - 32.278 SUCH A LOSS EVERY YEAR. ABOUT

01:09 - 34.713 HALF A MILLION DOLLAR LOSS IS

01:09 - 36.081 THAT WE?

01:09 - 38.116 ARE NO LONGER GOING TO BE ABLE

01:09 - 39.117 TO MAKE THAT RAINY EITHER

01:09 - 39.918 AFFORDABLE OR FREE IN SOME

01:09 - 40.685 CASES, ESPECIALLY AS YOU

01:09 - 41.287 MENTION FOR THE SMALLER

01:09 - 44.589 MUNICIPALITIES. I MEAN, THAT

01:09 - 45.258 THEY JUST SIMPLY DON'T HAVE

01:09 - 48.793 THAT KIND OF MONEY. MANY OF

01:09 - 50.962 THEM VOLUNTEERS. SO FOR BC 3

01:09 - 52.797 AND EQUIPMENT, BUT ALSO MAKING

01:09 - 54.032 SURE THAT WE CAN TRAIN PEOPLE

01:09 - 54.667 IN THERE FOR DOUBLE MANNER

01:09 - 56.535 WOULD BE WHERE THOSE ADDITIONAL

01:09 - 00.272 FUNDS WOULD BE TO HELP. YEAH.

01:10 - 03.141 AND I CUPHEAD IS ANOTHER

01:10 - 03.876 EXAMPLE. SO WORK AT SOME OF THE

01:10 - 06.578 COMMUNITY. COLLEGES ARE WORKING

01:10 - 08.413 WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES.

01:10 - 11.416 TO TRY TO BRING IN JUNIOR

01:10 - 13.018 FIREFIGHTERS AND TRY TO

01:10 - 13.685 ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE

01:10 - 14.420 VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTERS TO FILL

01:10 - 17.055 THAT GAP IN THE RURAL

01:10 - 19.891 COMMUNITIES.

01:10 - 20.593 WORLD STILL NEED TO BE AT LOW

01:10 - 24.462 COST OR NO COST IN ORDER TO

01:10 - 26.431 ENTICE THEM AS WELL AS TO

01:10 - 28.433 SUPPLY EQUIPMENT AND GET THEM

01:10 - 30.235 TRAINED. SO SOME OF THAT WOULD

01:10 - 30.937 FALL ON THE LOCAL FIRE HOUSES

01:10 - 34.873 AND SOME OF THAT FALLS ON THE

01:10 - 35.708 COMMUNITY. COLLEGES. AND THAT

01:10 - 38.643 HAS BEEN VERY LIMITED BECAUSE

01:10 - 40.579 OF THE INABILITY TO FURTHER

01:10 - 42.647 SUBSIDIZED. SO THOSE WOULD BE

01:10 - 44.082 EXPANDED. AND I KNOW IT'S NOT

01:10 - 44.750 GETTING ANY EASIER FOR FIRST

01:10 - 46.718 RESPONDERS AND PARTICULARLY

01:10 - 47.653 OUR VOLUNTEERS. AND I WORK

01:10 - 50.922 CLOSELY WITH.

01:10 - 51.523 BUCKS COUNTY COMMUNITY

01:10 - 52.224 COLLEGE REPRESENT A MARCEL AND

01:10 - 52.824 I HAVE A BILL THAT THAT

01:10 - 53.726 ADDRESSES SOME OF THESE FUNDING

01:10 - 56.795 ISSUES. SO I DO HOPE WE CAN.

01:10 - 57.362 WE CAN TRY AND HELP

01:10 - 57.963 YOU THERE. AND I ALSO A

01:10 - 58.631 FOLLOW-UP ON A QUESTION FROM

01:10 - 02.200 REPRESENTATIVE KINCAID WHO WHO

01:11 - 04.336 ASKED ABOUT HOW SOME OF THIS 5%

01:11 - 05.403 INCREASE FOR THE PASSION

01:11 - 06.304 SCHOOLS MIGHT BE USING ONE OF

01:11 - 07.006 THE BENEFITS. AND I JUST KIND

01:11 - 10.675 OF WANT TO LOOK AT ANOTHER SIDE

01:11 - 12.677 OF THAT IS IS THERE SCHOOLS OR

01:11 - 13.378 REGIONS THAT ARE MOST IN NEED

01:11 - 14.080 OR THAT THAT THAT ARE MOST IN

01:11 - 16.548 NEED OF THAT FUNDING WHERE THAT

01:11 - 19.718 THAT WOULD BE HURT MORE BY A

01:11 - 21.486 FAILURE, APPROPRIATE.

01:11 - 24.556 WE HAVE.

01:11 - 25.458 WE HAVE 10 INSTITUTIONS,

01:11 - 26.825 14 CAMPUSES, ALL VERY

01:11 - 27.493 DIFFERENT. AND YES THAN THE

01:11 - 31.563 NEED IS NOT EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

01:11 - 32.631 ACROSS THE CAMPUSES. WE HAVE AN

01:11 - 33.232 ALLOCATION FORMULA THAT

01:11 - 35.934 REFLECTS A LOT OF THOSE

01:11 - 38.770 FACTORS.

01:11 - 41.840 IF WE WE HAVE WE RECOGNIZE, FOR

01:11 - 42.575 EXAMPLE, THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN

01:11 - 44.976 BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH SCALE.

01:11 - 45.645 IF WE HAVE A LARGER CAMPUS,

01:11 - 51.116 THE COSTS, THE AVERAGE COSTS

01:11 - 54.786 TEND TO BE LOWER WE HAVE A SOME

01:11 - 57.622 SCHOOLS THAT HAVE GREATER.

01:11 - 58.257 THESE TO SORT OF REMEDIAL

01:11 - 59.624 ISSUES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT

01:11 - 03.495 THAT COME INTO PLAY SOME VERY

01:12 - 05.263 SMALL CAMPUSES IF THEY HAVE

01:12 - 05.964 THIS ECONOMIES OF SCALE THERE

01:12 - 06.599 THERE THEY HAVE A CERTAIN

01:12 - 09.134 OVERHEAD THAT THEY HAVE TO

01:12 - 10.168 COVER.

01:12 - 10.903 REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY STUDENTS

01:12 - 13.838 THEY HAVE. AND SO WE TAKE INTO

01:12 - 15.573 ACCOUNT IN THE FUNDING, THE

01:12 - 17.008 FACT THAT EVERYBODY HAS TO HAVE

01:12 - 17.709 AN ADMINISTRATION NOW THAT THE

01:12 - 18.678 CONSOLIDATIONS THAT WE WE

01:12 - 23.782 TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, IT WAS AN

01:12 - 24.416 ATTEMPT TO AGGREGATE SOME

01:12 - 25.116 SCHOOLS AND ELIMINATE SOME OF

01:12 - 25.751 THAT OVERHEAD. SO WE COULD

01:12 - 28.753 REDUCE SOME OF THOSE TYPES OF

01:12 - 31.389 COSTS. BUT WE DO WHATEVER WE

01:12 - 32.024 END UP RECEIVING WE RUN IT

01:12 - 33.558 THROUGH THIS FORMULA THAT'S

01:12 - 36.995 VERY CAREFULLY CRAFTED. WE TAKE

01:12 - 37.962 INTO ACCOUNT THE DIFFERENT

01:12 - 38.863 NEEDS DIFFERENT AND THEY'RE

01:12 - 39.532 DIFFERENT ACADEMIC PROGRAMS.

01:12 - 43.401 SOME PROGRAMS ARE MORE

01:12 - 44.336 EXPENSIVE THAN OTHERS. AND TO

01:12 - 45.204 SOME EXTENT WE CAN TAKE THAT

01:12 - 47.539 INTO ACCOUNT. I DON'T THINK WE

01:12 - 48.207 DO IT PERFECTLY. AND I THINK

01:12 - 51.209 PRESIDENT RALLY WOULD AGREE

01:12 - 54.045 WITH ME WHEN I SAY WE SHOULD

01:12 - 54.747 GET ALL THE MONEY. BUT BY TIME

01:12 - 57.182 WE DO OUR BEST TO UNDERSTAND

01:12 - 59.117 WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE AND

01:12 - 01.252 DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY

01:13 - 02.221 APPROPRIATELY. THANK THANKS FOR

01:13 - 05.156 YOUR TIME. THANK THE GENTLEMAN.

01:13 - 05.757 REPRESENTATIVE REICHARD.

01:13 - 06.424 THANK YOU, MISTER CHAIRMAN.

01:13 - 07.226 THIS IS A CHANCE FOR PRESIDENT.

01:13 - 09.060 I JUST, YOU KNOW, REAL QUICK

01:13 - 10.495 WANT TO JUST HIGHLIGHT OUR.

01:13 - 13.732 COMMENTS WERE A LOT OF OUR

01:13 - 14.166 MEMBERS ABOUT

01:13 - 15.367 WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. AND YOU

01:13 - 16.035 KNOW THE NEED TO ENSURE THAT

01:13 - 19.404 WHEN OUR STUDENTS GRADUATE THAT

01:13 - 20.038 THEY ARE PREPARED TO ENTER

01:13 - 20.772 DIRECTLY INTO THESE BUSINESSES.

01:13 - 21.474 AND CHANCELLOR FOR ME, I WANT

01:13 - 23.007 TO WANT TO BRAG A LITTLE BIT

01:13 - 23.676 ABOUT SHIPPENSBURG, WHICH IS

01:13 - 25.777 NOT, YOU KNOW, IN MY DISTRICT,

01:13 - 26.679 BUT IT SUPPORTS A LOT OF FOLKS

01:13 - 30.749 IN SOUTHERN FRANKLIN COUNTY.

01:13 - 31.449 AND I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE, YOU

01:13 - 32.151 KNOW, WORK BASED LEARNING THEY

01:13 - 34.319 ARE PARTNERING WITH EMPLOYERS

01:13 - 35.054 IN OUR AREA TO SHAPE CURRICULUM

01:13 - 38.323 SO THAT THOSE STUDENTS CAN FIND

01:13 - 40.358 JOBS DIRECTLY AFTER THERE

01:13 - 41.626 EXPANDING INTERNSHIPS AND JUST

01:13 - 42.261 TRULY, YOU KNOW, PREPARING

01:13 - 45.397 STUDENTS ENTER THE WORKFORCE.

01:13 - 46.098 IS THAT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT

01:13 - 47.766 SHIP IN THE TRUSTEES ARE DOING

01:13 - 48.501 DOWN THERE OR IS THAT SOMETHING

01:13 - 52.103 THAT WE'RE DOING? PASSION WIDE?

01:13 - 53.772 WELL, EVERY CAMPUS IS A

01:13 - 54.507 LITTLE DIFFERENT. I VISITED THE

01:13 - 55.807 PROGRAM THAT YOU'RE TALKING

01:13 - 57.742 ABOUT A SHIPPENSBURG AND I WAS

01:13 - 00.645 IN A LAB WITH STUDENTS WHO ARE

01:14 - 01.380 DOING INCREDIBLE WORK AND THERE

01:14 - 03.715 ARE 3 OR 4 EMPLOYERS IN THE

01:14 - 04.683 ROOM WITH THEM. AND THEY WERE

01:14 - 07.585 LEARNING IN THAT MAD LAB AND

01:14 - 08.186 THEN THEY WERE GOING AND

01:14 - 08.854 WORKING WITH THE BUSINESSES.

01:14 - 10.021 THE BUSINESSES WERE RELYING

01:14 - 11.823 ON THOSE STUDENTS TO BE SKILLED

01:14 - 13.758 WORKERS. AND JUST AN INCREDIBLE

01:14 - 16.795 PROGRAM. WE HAVE EXAMPLES OF

01:14 - 18.663 THAT AND MANY OTHER SLIPPERY

01:14 - 19.364 ROCK INCLUDED. AND ONCE AGAIN,

01:14 - 20.065 I'll DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUE WHO.

01:14 - 22.367 CAN GIVE YOU SOME MORE SPECIFIC

01:14 - 23.102 DETAIL THERE. BUT IT'S A COMMON

01:14 - 25.670 THING ACROSS THE SYSTEM AT THIS

01:14 - 27.372 GOOD.

01:14 - 28.440 YOU WANT ME TO DO I THOUGHT

01:14 - 30.241 YOU WERE GOING TO ASK ANOTHER

01:14 - 30.943 QUESTION. GREAT. FIRST OF ALL,

01:14 - 32.210 I DO HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO MY

01:14 - 33.511 GREAT COLLEAGUES BECAUSE I KNOW

01:14 - 34.180 I CAN'T TAKE ALL THE MONEY.

01:14 - 35.647 SO I JUST WANT TO BE ON THE

01:14 - 38.683 RECORD ON THAT IN ALL

01:14 - 42.487 SERIOUSNESS,

01:14 - 43.456 WHEN WE LOOK AT EXPERIENCE WILL

01:14 - 44.656 LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. I THINK

01:14 - 46.424 THAT ACROSS THE SYSTEM, PEOPLE

01:14 - 47.559 ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS.

01:14 - 48.560 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD

01:14 - 50.195 LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT AND I THINK

01:14 - 50.896 THAT THIS HAPPENS AT SLIPPERY

01:14 - 53.865 ROCK AS WELL AS ACROSS ALL OF

01:14 - 55.867 THE PAST. THE SCHOOLS IS WE

01:14 - 56.802 HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS, AS

01:14 - 58.369 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, WHO ARE

01:14 - 58.938 PELL ELIGIBLE, A FIRST

01:14 - 01.873 GENERATION WHO ARE THIS IS AN

01:15 - 02.907 ACCESS INSTITUTION. WE DON'T

01:15 - 06.411 WANT OUR STUDENTS TO HAVE TO

01:15 - 07.012 MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN AN

01:15 - 11.249 EXPERIENCE TO LEARNING ACTIVITY

01:15 - 12.350 AND A JOB. SO WE DON'T WANT

01:15 - 14.519 BACK TO KUZ INTERNSHIPS THOSE

01:15 - 16.988 KINDS OF THINGS TO BE ONLY

01:15 - 17.590 ACTIVITIES, A PRIVILEGE.

01:15 - 20.525 WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE

01:15 - 21.393 CAN BREAK DOWN THE BARRIER THAT

01:15 - 25.029 A DES ALLOWS PEOPLE WHO DON'T

01:15 - 26.931 HAVE FUNDS OR HAVE TO WORK TO

01:15 - 29.133 NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THOSE

01:15 - 29.969 KINDS OF ACTIVITIES. SO WE'RE

01:15 - 31.069 VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE

01:15 - 34.138 DOING. AND WE'RE CONTINUALLY

01:15 - 35.006 LOOKING FOR WAYS TO FUND THOSE

01:15 - 35.674 KINDS OF ACTIVITIES. IF THAT

01:15 - 39.143 MAKES SENSE. ABSOLUTELY NO.

01:15 - 39.878 AND I YES, THAT'S OR LEADS INTO

01:15 - 40.546 MY. MY FINAL QUESTION IS, IS

01:15 - 42.914 HOW CAN WE BETTER PARTNER ON

01:15 - 43.415 THESE THINGS AND,

01:15 - 46.117 YOU KNOW, IT'S IT SOUNDS LIKE

01:15 - 48.553 THERE'S THERE'S.

01:15 - 49.221 MONEY REQUESTS SEEN BUT YOU,

01:15 - 51.322 YOU KNOW, I THINK THINKING

01:15 - 54.392 ABOUT HOW DO WE HELP?

01:15 - 55.493 INCENSE

01:15 - 56.295 DIFFERENT CORPORATIONS IN

01:15 - 02.166 INDUSTRIES TO PROVIDE THOSE

01:16 - 03.735 KINDS OF SOMETHING MAY BE

01:16 - 06.838 SIMILAR TO. I CAN SEE IT.

01:16 - 07.740 SEE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A CREDIT

01:16 - 08.973 WHERE CERTAINLY WE DON'T WANT

01:16 - 09.875 TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM OUR

01:16 - 11.342 K 12 PARTNERS BECAUSE WHAT

01:16 - 16.014 THEY'RE DOING IS AMAZING.

01:16 - 19.017 BUT KIND OF A PROGRAM THAT

01:16 - 21.185 WOULD INCENT CORPORATIONS TO

01:16 - 23.087 PROVIDE FUNDING FOR INTERNSHIPS

01:16 - 24.023 AND PRACTICAL WOULD BE AMAZING.

01:16 - 26.124 I MEAN, EXTRAORDINARY NOVEL

01:16 - 27.058 APPROACH. AND I CERTAINLY

01:16 - 27.726 APPRECIATE THAT. AND I LOOK

01:16 - 29.060 FORWARD TO PARTNERING WITH ALL

01:16 - 29.962 OF YOU ON ON WAYS THAT WE CAN

01:16 - 31.062 CONTINUE TO DO THAT. SO THANK

01:16 - 34.032 YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

01:16 - 34.599 THANK YOU. THANK YOU,

01:16 - 35.233 GENTLEMEN. REPRESENTATIVE

01:16 - 35.935 BROWN, THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN AND

01:16 - 40.305 I AM THRILLED TO SEE 2 OF MY

01:16 - 40.905 SCHOOLS HERE.

01:16 - 41.707 SO DOCTOR, ALL RIGHT,

01:16 - 45.677 PRESIDENT KOVAL AND DR RILEY,

01:16 - 47.512 THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO

01:16 - 48.180 FOR LAWRENCE COUNTY. THESE 2

01:16 - 50.582 WOMEN, AS YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN

01:16 - 51.549 ABLE

01:16 - 52.184 TO TELL, HAVE DONE AMAZING

01:16 - 56.254 THINGS THAT THE THE SCHOOLS.

01:16 - 58.957 SO

01:16 - 59.592 AT A PREVIOUS HEARING, WE

01:16 - 01.459 DISCUSSED UNIVERSITY AND

01:17 - 04.529 AFFILIATE HOUSING. DEBTS.

01:17 - 05.863 I'M SORRY.

01:17 - 07.765 WE ACTUALLY JUST WHAT WE DID

01:17 - 08.833 DISCUSS THAT. BUT WE ALSO

01:17 - 10.602 DISCUSSED UNDER UTILIZATION

01:17 - 13.905 OF SYSTEM FACILITIES AND THAT

01:17 - 15.974 MANY CAMPUSES HAVE HOUSING OR

01:17 - 17.542 CLASSROOMS THAT ARE

01:17 - 18.243 UNDERUTILIZED AND THE NEED TO

01:17 - 24.749 FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO REPURPOSE

01:17 - 25.718 THESE. SO THEY BENEFIT ALL

01:17 - 27.452 THOSE INVOLVED. AND TYPICALLY

01:17 - 28.187 THIS INVOLVES PARTNERSHIPS THAT

01:17 - 33.891 TAKE TIME IN THE COMMUNITY.

01:17 - 36.995 BUT A RECENT ARTICLE

01:17 - 39.631 FOR YOU, DOCTOR RILEY QUOTED

01:17 - 43.267 SLIPPERY ROCK IS BEING. ONE

01:17 - 45.069 OF THE MOST EXTENSIVE ARE

01:17 - 45.638 HAVING ONE OF THE MOST

01:17 - 47.405 EXTENSIVE ACADEMIC OVERALL

01:17 - 50.508 HALLS IN MODERN HISTORY.

01:17 - 52.910 SO IF YOU TALK TO

01:17 - 54.979 HOW THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT

01:17 - 56.881 YOU'VE DEVELOPED HAVE HELPED TO

01:17 - 59.984 DO THIS IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

01:18 - 03.054 SURE, IN. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

01:18 - 03.888 WE ARE NOT ONE OF THE

01:18 - 04.857 ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAS EXCESS

01:18 - 06.958 SPACE OR EXCESS HOUSING.

01:18 - 07.659 SO I DO WANT TO BE VERY, VERY

01:18 - 08.260 CLEAR ABOUT THAT. WE'RE

01:18 - 11.162 ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT ON THE

01:18 - 12.064 OTHER SIDE WHERE

01:18 - 13.464 WE'VE GOT.

01:18 - 14.133 A GOOD PERCENTAGE OF OUR

01:18 - 16.267 FIRST YEAR. STUDENTS IN TRIPLE

01:18 - 17.002 ROOMS RATHER THAN DOUBLE ROOMS.

01:18 - 20.505 BUT

01:18 - 22.440 I THINK THAT THE OUR

01:18 - 26.010 STRATEGIC PLAN WAS THAT WE

01:18 - 26.979 WOULD BE A FIRST CHOICE

01:18 - 28.012 ORGANIZATION FOR

01:18 - 29.881 PARTNERSHIPS. AND THAT WAS

01:18 - 31.482 WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

01:18 - 34.552 AND SO WE HAVE MADE AN

01:18 - 35.487 INTENTIONAL

01:18 - 38.222 GOAL.

01:18 - 39.257 FOR US TO GO OUT AND SEEK

01:18 - 42.527 PARTNERSHIPS TO LISTEN TO OUR

01:18 - 46.230 INDUSTRY PARTNERS TO MODIFY OUR

01:18 - 48.066 ACADEMIC SO WHAT? WE HAVE A

01:18 - 50.702 GREAT PROVOST AND WE HAVE GREAT

01:18 - 53.638 FACULTY AND WHAT THEY DID WAS

01:18 - 54.206 LISTEN TO OUR INDUSTRY

01:18 - 56.140 PARTNERS.

01:18 - 57.875 AND CHANGE HOW OUR

01:18 - 00.078 DEPARTMENTS WERE ORGANIZED.

01:19 - 01.979 WHAT THIS ALLOWED US TO DO AND

01:19 - 03.481 WHAT IT ALLOWED OUR FACULTY

01:19 - 06.517 TO DO WAS TEACH MORE IN IN AN

01:19 - 07.919 INTERDISCIPLINARY WAY, WHICH

01:19 - 10.354 ALLOWED FOR MORE EFFECTIVENESS,

01:19 - 11.956 MORE NIMBLENESS AND MORE COST

01:19 - 15.827 SAVINGS.

01:19 - 16.828 TRANSFORMATION HAS REALLY

01:19 - 19.097 MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR US.

01:19 - 19.732 AND WE'VE BEEN EXCEEDINGLY

01:19 - 22.333 FORTUNATE. WE'VE BEEN

01:19 - 25.970 ESSENTIALLY UP IN A DOWN MARKET

01:19 - 26.939 AND OUR RETENTION NUMBERS ARE

01:19 - 28.139 ARE.

01:19 - 29.108 WELL, WE'VE SET UP A PATCHY

01:19 - 31.109 RECORD FOR RETENTION THIS YEAR.

01:19 - 33.044 SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT

01:19 - 35.246 THAT. WE'RE ADDED, JUST JUMP IN

01:19 - 35.948 A SECOND TO ADDRESS THE OTHER

01:19 - 38.449 ISSUE YOU RAISED ABOUT ABOUT

01:19 - 39.151 EMPTY BUILDINGS.

01:19 - 42.954 WE ARE ACTIVELY PURSUING

01:19 - 43.555 OPPORTUNITIES. TO TRY TO

01:19 - 46.057 REPURPOSE SOME OF THESE

01:19 - 46.759 BUILDINGS THAT THAT THERE ARE

01:19 - 50.695 CONVERSATIONS GOING ON THAT ARE

01:19 - 51.395 VARIOUS STAGES BECAUSE WE

01:19 - 51.997 RECOGNIZE THAT THESE ARE

01:19 - 54.599 BUILDINGS THAT ARE SITTING

01:19 - 56.067 THERE COSTING US MONEY. AND IF

01:19 - 56.668 WE CAN TO THE BENEFIT OF

01:19 - 01.439 COMMUNITY, WE REALLY WANT TO

01:20 - 04.475 DO THAT. ALSO, IN MANY CASES OF

01:20 - 05.076 WE'VE HEARD HOW ALL THE

01:20 - 05.810 COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE, SCHOOLS

01:20 - 06.512 ARE ARE EVEN OLDER. AND SO WE

01:20 - 08.946 HAVE SOME BUILDINGS THAT ARE,

01:20 - 10.982 YOU KNOW, MORE THAN 60 YEARS

01:20 - 13.084 OLD AND REALLY ARE PAST THEIR

01:20 - 13.752 USEFUL LIVES. AND AS WE HAVE

01:20 - 16.721 HAD DOWNSIZING EXERCISES ON

01:20 - 18.756 SOME OF THE CAMPUSES WE'VE

01:20 - 19.791 WE'VE MOVED OUT OF THESE

01:20 - 21.192 BUILDINGS AND WE'RE LOOKING

01:20 - 21.926 FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE

01:20 - 22.528 TO DEMOLISH THEM BECAUSE

01:20 - 25.997 THEY'RE SITTING, THEY'RE

01:20 - 26.665 COSTING US MONEY. SO IN SOME

01:20 - 29.901 CASES, IF A BUILDING IS PAST

01:20 - 30.635 ITS USEFUL LIFE, THE BEST

01:20 - 31.302 STRATEGY IS NOT TO REPURPOSE

01:20 - 32.004 ITS TO JUST KNOCK IT DOWN AND

01:20 - 34.605 ELIMINATE ALL THE COSTS

01:20 - 37.375 ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AND WE DO.

01:20 - 38.075 I'll OKAY SOME OF OUR CAPITAL.

01:20 - 38.777 FUNDS TO DEMOLITION AND WE'VE

01:20 - 41.579 HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT TRYING

01:20 - 42.713 TO

01:20 - 43.614 IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT

01:20 - 44.583 WE COULD. WE COULD I BE ABLE TO

01:20 - 46.150 UTILIZE FOR DEMOLITION BECAUSE

01:20 - 48.119 THAT WOULD BENEFIT US BECAUSE

01:20 - 52.089 IT REMOVES IS CARRYING COSTS

01:20 - 52.757 THAT OUR IN OUR BUDGETS THAT

01:20 - 53.424 THE MAN THEY CREDIT AND AND

01:20 - 54.292 WE SO APPRECIATE THAT. I CAN

01:20 - 55.194 TELL YOU THAT AFTER SITTING IN

01:20 - 57.829 THESE HEARINGS FOR A COUPLE

01:20 - 58.564 WEEKS NOW AND

01:20 - 01.933 LISTENING TO ALL THE

01:21 - 05.336 INEFFICIENCIES AND THE

01:21 - 06.038 INEFFECTIVENESS OF SOME OF OUR

01:21 - 08.940 DEPARTMENTS. IT'S VERY, VERY

01:21 - 09.641 REWARDING TO HEAR. THE THINGS

01:21 - 12.043 THAT YOU'RE DOING ON THE OTHER

01:21 - 16.347 SIDE OF THAT. SO VERY QUICKLY,

01:21 - 17.049 PRESIDENT COVIL WHEN YOU CAME

01:21 - 20.685 TO LAWRENCE COUNTY WITH OR YOU

01:21 - 21.386 MOVE TO YOUR NEW LOCATION THAT

01:21 - 24.989 THE NEWSPAPER WAS QUOTED AS

01:21 - 25.891 SAYING YOU WERE,

01:21 - 27.959 ARE YOU DEVELOPED A TRUE

01:21 - 29.694 INTEGRATION INTO LAWRENCE

01:21 - 30.395 COUNTY? SO CAN YOU TALK TO US

01:21 - 34.265 ABOUT SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF

01:21 - 35.333 THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT I HAVE

01:21 - 37.468 WORKED FOR YOU IN DOING THAT?

01:21 - 38.303 YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO AT BC 3

01:21 - 40.705 HAS BEEN IN LAWRENCE COUNTY

01:21 - 41.305 FOR 2627 YEARS. AND WE

01:21 - 41.940 RECENTLY MOVED LOCATIONS.

01:21 - 43.307 WE HAD A SPACE THAT WAS JUST

01:21 - 47.011 TOO BIG FOR US.

01:21 - 47.646 AND SO WE DECIDED TO YOU

01:21 - 49.881 RIGHT SIZE AND MOVE INTO A NEW

01:21 - 50.515 LOCATION THAT'S LOCATED IN

01:21 - 51.816 SHENANGO TOWNSHIP. AND THAT'S

01:21 - 53.417 KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF TIME.

01:21 - 56.554 FORMER STRIP MALL THAT HAS

01:21 - 57.655 REALLY BEEN REPURPOSE IN.

01:21 - 58.523 EVEN IN MAKING THAT NEW ING

01:21 - 00.658 AT. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY

01:22 - 01.360 TO INTEGRATE FURTHER INTO THAT

01:22 - 03.194 COMMUNITY WHERE RIGHT NEXT DOOR

01:22 - 05.062 TO SHENANGO HIGH SCHOOL.

01:22 - 07.131 SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE

01:22 - 08.165 DID I MENTIONED EARLIER, HOW

01:22 - 09.233 AND COLLABORATION IS SO

01:22 - 11.168 IMPORTANT TO US AND WE DID NOT

01:22 - 11.903 BUILD A CHEMISTRY LAB. SHENANGO

01:22 - 12.571 HIGH SCHOOL HAS A CHEMISTRY

01:22 - 15.506 LAB. SO NOW OUR STUDENTS WILL

01:22 - 16.174 GO OVER THERE AND TAKE THEIR

01:22 - 19.377 LAPS WHENEVER IT'S TIME FOR

01:22 - 19.944 THEM TO DO SO. WE ALSO

01:22 - 20.678 COLLABORATED WITH THE LAWRENCE

01:22 - 21.313 COUNTY LEARNING CENTER AND

01:22 - 24.382 THEY'RE NOW SHARING SPACE WITH

01:22 - 26.417 US. SO VERY SIMILAR MISSIONS.

01:22 - 27.251 AND THEY WERE IN NEED OF SOME

01:22 - 27.953 SPACE. WE HAD SOME EXTRA SPACE

01:22 - 31.022 AND THAT IS ONLY TO THE BENEFIT

01:22 - 32.823 OF OUR STUDENTS.

01:22 - 34.759 AGAIN, WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU'RE

01:22 - 35.460 DOING IN OUR COMMUNITY AND HOW

01:22 - 37.495 CREATIVE YOUTH IN WITH YOUR

01:22 - 40.665 BUDGETS.

01:22 - 44.602 THANKS, JENNA. LAINE.

01:22 - 46.570 CHAIRMAN CUTLER.

01:22 - 47.239 THANK YOU, MISTER CHAIRMAN,

01:22 - 49.941 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING

01:22 - 50.508 HERE THIS AFTERNOON. I

01:22 - 50.943 APPRECIATE IT.

01:22 - 53.010 I APPRECIATE TAKING TIME OUT

01:22 - 53.845 TO BE VERY BUSY SCHEDULES.

01:22 - 57.048 I ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL OF

01:22 - 59.250 YOU CONCEPTUALLY HAS IT BOTH A

01:22 - 00.484 FATHER AND A TUITION PAIR ARSON

01:23 - 03.321 VERY SUMMER TO REPRESENTATIVE

01:23 - 04.088 FLEMING. HE STARTED HACKED THE

01:23 - 04.823 ONE ROAD IN HIGH SCHOOL AND NOW

01:23 - 07.158 HE'S GOING TO GRADUATE FROM

01:23 - 08.759 MILLERSVILLE. THIS MAY. SO I I

01:23 - 09.394 PERSONALLY APPRECIATE THE

01:23 - 10.895 INTEGRATION THAT I'VE SEEN

01:23 - 15.933 BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES

01:23 - 16.734 AND AND THE PATCHY SYSTEM.

01:23 - 17.369 BUT THE QUESTION I HAVE A

01:23 - 19.503 SPECIFIC ABOUT THE GROVE PA

01:23 - 20.137 PROGRAM. I KNOW IT'S NEW.

01:23 - 20.806 WE HEARD SOME GROWING PAINS

01:23 - 22.740 THIS MORNING, PARTICULARLY

01:23 - 24.942 RELATED TO SOME OF THE COATING

01:23 - 26.811 BECAUSE SOME PROGRAMS QUALIFY

01:23 - 29.547 AT SOME SCHOOLS BUT KUZ THEIR

01:23 - 30.215 COAT A CERTAIN WAY. AND THEN

01:23 - 33.451 THEY MAY NOT QUALIFY TO OTHER

01:23 - 35.052 SCHOOLS. SO AS WE'RE LOOKING TO

01:23 - 36.954 USE THIS TOOL FOR BUILDING THE

01:23 - 37.756 WORKFORCE HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA.

01:23 - 40.791 FOR THOSE HIGH IN-DEMAND

01:23 - 41.892 OCCUPATIONS.

01:23 - 44.762 THAT PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES

01:23 - 45.464 IN-STATE TUITION DISCOUNTS TO

01:23 - 47.631 OUT OF STATE STUDENTS WHO ARE

01:23 - 48.333 WILLING TO COMMIT TO LIVE AND

01:23 - 51.569 WORK IN PA IN THAT OCCUPATION

01:23 - 53.504 FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FROM YOUR

01:23 - 56.574 VIEW, ARE THERE ANY OTHER

01:23 - 57.108 CHANGES WE SHOULD BE

01:23 - 58.043 CONTEMPLATING AS A GENERAL

01:23 - 00.177 ASSEMBLY IN ORDER TO MAKE THE

01:24 - 01.379 PROGRAM MORE SOME OF THE

01:24 - 02.014 BUREAUCRACIES SUCH AS THE

01:24 - 04.815 CODING ISSUE THAT CAME UP

01:24 - 06.784 EARLIER TODAY.

01:24 - 07.552 I THINK THAT THE PROGRAM IS

01:24 - 11.622 GREAT. OBVIOUSLY WE'VE HAD MORE

01:24 - 12.591 TRACTION IN STATE

01:24 - 14.425 REMEMBER WHERE WE'RE ASKING

01:24 - 16.594 PEOPLE TO COME TO SCHOOL HERE

01:24 - 18.496 AND COMMIT TO STAYING HERE

01:24 - 19.230 AFTER. THAT'S A BIGGER DECISION

01:24 - 20.065 FOR SOMEBODY FROM OUT OF STATE

01:24 - 23.868 THAN IT IS FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S

01:24 - 27.104 HERE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

01:24 - 27.705 WE HAVE EXPERIENCED. THE

01:24 - 28.373 PRESIDENT RILEY MENTIONED A

01:24 - 30.408 MOMENT AGO THAT THAT IT'S A

01:24 - 32.476 SLIPPERY ROCK HAS NO ACCESS.

01:24 - 34.678 A TORY SPACE ON ITS CAMPUS.

01:24 - 35.212 SEVERAL OTHER OF OUR

01:24 - 35.914 UNIVERSITIES ARE IN A SIMILAR

01:24 - 38.716 POSITION. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE

01:24 - 39.417 ANY MORE ROOM. AND SINCE

01:24 - 40.085 STUDENTS COMING FROM OUT OF

01:24 - 41.719 STATE ARE TYPICALLY NOT GOING

01:24 - 43.687 TO BE COMMUTER STUDENTS,

01:24 - 45.756 THEY'RE GOING TO NEED HOUSING

01:24 - 46.491 AND THE SCHOOLS FIND THEMSELVES

01:24 - 49.160 IN THE DIFFICULT POSITION OF

01:24 - 51.195 HAT HAVING TO ACTUALLY.

01:24 - 52.863 BACK AWAY FROM COMMITMENTS TO

01:24 - 53.931 IN-STATE STUDENTS TO MAKE ROOM

01:24 - 55.099 FOR OUT OF STATE STUDENTS.

01:24 - 55.734 AND AND WE DON'T WE DON'T

01:24 - 57.535 BELIEVE THAT THAT'S WHAT THE

01:24 - 00.538 GENERAL ASSEMBLY INTENDED FOR

01:25 - 01.206 US TO BE DOING. SO THERE ARE

01:25 - 03.874 CERTAINLY SCHOOLS WHERE WE HAVE

01:25 - 04.476 THE HOUSING. WE HAVE THE

01:25 - 07.711 OPPORTUNITIES WE'RE WE'RE

01:25 - 08.313 TRYING TO DEVELOP BETTER

01:25 - 10.648 PROCESSES. IN FACT, I MET WITH

01:25 - 12.783 WITH JIM STEELY FROM FIA.

01:25 - 14.085 WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT

01:25 - 14.786 PIGGYBACK OUR OUR RECRUITMENT

01:25 - 17.354 ACROSS STATE LINES. FIA WORKS

01:25 - 18.189 IN

01:25 - 18.590 OHIO AND

01:25 - 21.659 AND A NEW MARYLAND AND WEST

01:25 - 22.793 VIRGINIA, FOR EXAMPLE.

01:25 - 24.128 AND THEY'RE TAKING OUR

01:25 - 24.830 MATERIALS WITH THEM WHEN THEY

01:25 - 27.498 GO AND MEET WITH STUDENTS,

01:25 - 28.200 PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS IN THOSE

01:25 - 31.068 AREAS, IT IS TAKING LONGER TO

01:25 - 31.803 RAMP UP THE YEAH. STAY PROGRAM.

01:25 - 33.704 BUT WE WE ARE GETTING MATERIALS

01:25 - 34.439 OUT THERE. WE'RE COMMUNICATING.

01:25 - 38.843 WE ARE SCHOOLS. DO RECRUIT.

01:25 - 40.845 AGGRESSIVELY IN IN THE STATE?

01:25 - 42.379 THE RING STATES AROUND THE

01:25 - 43.048 COMMONWEALTH. AND HOPEFULLY

01:25 - 44.315 WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE

01:25 - 45.816 TRACTION AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

01:25 - 50.020 BUT I THINK THE PROGRAM IS IS

01:25 - 50.688 VERY GENEROUS. IT PROVIDES A

01:25 - 51.356 GREAT OPPORTUNITY AGAIN, NOT

01:25 - 54.258 SURPRISING THAT WE'RE HAVING

01:25 - 55.392 MORE SUCCESS.

01:25 - 57.962 WITH THE IN-STATE STUDENTS.

01:25 - 58.696 80% OF OUR GRADUATES TO TEND TO

01:25 - 59.397 STAY IN THE COMMONWEALTH WHEN

01:25 - 02.333 THEY GRADUATE AND TAKE THEIR

01:26 - 03.134 FIRST JOB HERE BUT HOPEFULLY

01:26 - 03.835 WE'RE GOING TO SEE IMPROVEMENT

01:26 - 06.871 IN THE OUT OF STATE TO ATTRACT

01:26 - 10.708 OF THESE 2 GOING FOR.

01:26 - 11.543 THANK ADDITIONALLY WITH THAT

01:26 - 14.145 PROGRAM ARE, ARE THERE ANY

01:26 - 17.181 CONCERNS WITH?

01:26 - 17.715 MAINTAINING THAT?

01:26 - 18.483 WORKLOAD, IF YOU WILL, OF

01:26 - 21.285 STUDENTS AS THEY PROGRESS

01:26 - 22.086 THROUGH THE 4 YEARS, GIVEN SOME

01:26 - 23.054 OF THE FUNDING ISSUES IT MEANT.

01:26 - 25.089 SO MY COLLEAGUES BROUGHT UP

01:26 - 28.893 EARLIER. IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT

01:26 - 29.594 EFFORTS CAN BE MADE 2 INSURER

01:26 - 31.629 THAT ONCE SOMEONE IS ENROLLED

01:26 - 34.899 IN A PROGRAM THAT THEY CONTINUE

01:26 - 38.269 TO BE SO AND, YOU KNOW, ALSO

01:26 - 40.337 STAY IN THE CORRECT CAREER PATH

01:26 - 42.273 TO STILL QUALIFY VERSUS

01:26 - 43.241 CHANGING MAKERS, WHICH I KNOW

01:26 - 45.109 HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME WITH

01:26 - 45.676 STUDENTS. HOW ARE YOUR

01:26 - 46.344 INSTITUTIONS HANDLING THAT?

01:26 - 49.046 LET ME MAKE A QUICK COMMENT AND

01:26 - 50.047 THEN HAND IT TO TO PRESENT

01:26 - 50.347 RILEY.

01:26 - 51.016 WE ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE

01:26 - 53.951 COMMITTING SIGNIFICANT

01:26 - 56.187 RESOURCES

01:26 - 56.887 TO SUPPORT FINANCIALLY BEYOND

01:26 - 57.622 THE TRADITIONAL SOURCES THAT WE

01:26 - 59.857 HAVE AND MAYBE YOU COULD GET A

01:26 - 01.792 COUPLE EXAMPLES.

01:27 - 05.663 YEAH, I MEAN, I I THINK FIRST

01:27 - 08.599 OF ALL, THAT I WILL ECHO

01:27 - 09.333 CHANCELLOR FERRANTI KNOWS

01:27 - 09.968 COMMENTS ABOUT THE PROGRAM

01:27 - 13.037 ITSELF. SO IT'S SLIPPERY ROCK.

01:27 - 15.906 WE HAVE 381 STUDENTS WHO ARE

01:27 - 20.077 PROGRAM AT AT THE TUNE OF ABOUT

01:27 - 21.812 1.8 MILLION DOLLARS. SO IT'S A

01:27 - 22.514 GREAT PROGRAM AND WE CONTINUE

01:27 - 25.249 TO TRY TO GET MORE STUDENTS.

01:27 - 25.917 WE GOT ABOUT 5,000 STUDENTS.

01:27 - 27.818 WE LOOKED AT RIGHT NOW THAT

01:27 - 30.888 WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT.

01:27 - 31.556 OUR DEDICATION TO THOSE HIGH

01:27 - 33.591 NEED A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

01:27 - 34.292 PROGRAMS IS IS WHY WE HAVE SO

01:27 - 37.094 MANY OF THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE

01:27 - 38.229 WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO US FOR

01:27 - 42.433 US. YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE

01:27 - 45.369 WE TRY TO. STACK FINANCIAL AID.

01:27 - 46.904 AND SO WE HAVE A GREAT STAFF

01:27 - 49.974 THAT LOOKS AT EACH INDIVIDUAL

01:27 - 50.975 STUDENT AND WORKS WITH THEIR

01:27 - 53.043 FAMILY TO SAY, OH, ARE YOU

01:27 - 53.911 ELIGIBLE FOR THIS? ARE YOU

01:27 - 54.479 ELIGIBLE FOR THIS OR A

01:27 - 57.681 RELATABLE FOR THIS? ARE YOU

01:27 - 59.550 ELIGIBLE FOR THIS

01:27 - 01.619 WE FILL IN A LOT OF THAT AID

01:28 - 04.688 WITH OUR OWN INSTITUTIONAL AID.

01:28 - 07.591 WE SPEND ABOUT 7 MILLION

01:28 - 08.293 DOLLARS ON JUST OUT OF OUR IAN

01:28 - 10.527 G BUDGET IN ORDER TO BRIDGE

01:28 - 12.529 SOME OF THOSE GAPS. AND THEN

01:28 - 14.965 WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING TO GET

01:28 - 17.201 PHILANTHROPY MORE INVOLVED.

01:28 - 19.169 ALTHOUGH WE ARE PUBLIC

01:28 - 19.804 INSTITUTIONS, SOME OF WHAT

01:28 - 22.239 WE'RE LEARNING IS THAT WE NEED

01:28 - 24.875 TO ACT A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE

01:28 - 25.810 THE PRIVATES AND UP ARE

01:28 - 27.645 PHILANTHROPIES GAME SLIPPERY.

01:28 - 28.346 ROCK IN PARTICULAR IS WORKING

01:28 - 42.126 DOLLARS OVER THE PAST 2 AND A

01:28 - 42.827 HALF YEARS. SO OUR COMMITMENT

01:28 - 46.664 TO FUNDING OUR STUDENTS TO

01:28 - 47.299 MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE

01:28 - 48.465 AGAIN, THE HIGHEST QUALITY

01:28 - 50.067 EDUCATION, THAT THE LOWEST

01:28 - 53.103 POSSIBLE COST. IT'S NOT ONLY

01:28 - 53.805 ACCESSING THE FUNDS THAT YOU

01:28 - 57.341 PROVIDE FEDERAL DOLLARS AS WELL

01:28 - 57.975 AS OUR OWN DOLLARS IN

01:28 - 58.543 PHILANTHROPIC DOLLARS.

01:29 - 25.969 THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEVEL.

01:29 - 26.838 AT THE PASSION LEVEL AND THE

01:29 - 30.040 STATE RELATED LEVEL. I CAN TELL

01:29 - 30.941 YOU FROM MY EXPERIENCE, THERE

01:29 - 31.709 ISN'T A DIFFERENCE IN THE

01:29 - 32.344 QUALITY OF EDUCATION, BUT

01:29 - 35.679 THERE'S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENCE

01:29 - 36.714 IN THE COST. SO THANK YOU FOR

01:29 - 38.682 PROVIDING WHAT IS TRULY THE

01:29 - 41.785 DEFINITION OF AFFORDABLE

01:29 - 42.586 QUALITY EDUCATION FOR

01:29 - 43.254 PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS. I'M A

01:29 - 47.358 VERY QUICK. I THINK I'D BE

01:29 - 49.760 REMISS IF I DIDN'T GIVE PROPS

01:29 - 52.730 TO INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF

01:29 - 53.964 PENNSYLVANIA ON THE UP RIGHT

01:29 - 57.034 IN MY DISTRICT AND THE

01:29 - 58.469 FIRST-EVER SOON-TO-BE.

01:29 - 00.971 COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE

01:30 - 01.673 WITHIN THE STATE SYSTEM MAKING

01:30 - 02.973 TREMENDOUS STRIDES TO ADDRESS

01:30 - 05.242 OUR ROLE. HEALTH CARE NEEDS

01:30 - 07.277 AND PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL

01:30 - 09.380 OPTION FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS AND

01:30 - 10.080 I THINK IT'S JUST GOING TO BE

01:30 - 10.782 OUTSTANDING. SO I APPLAUD THAT

01:30 - 12.683 EFFORT. I KNOW YOU'RE WELL

01:30 - 14.651 AWARE OF THE CHANCELLOR.

01:30 - 15.452 SO WE WANT TO SEE THAT

01:30 - 16.187 CONTINUE. BUT VERY QUICKLY, YOU

01:30 - 18.622 KNOW, WE HAD TO STAY RELATED

01:30 - 20.591 WITH US

01:30 - 21.225 THIS MORNING TALKING ABOUT

01:30 - 21.860 THEIR INCREASING BUDGETARY

01:30 - 26.096 REQUEST. AND I KNOW THAT YOU

01:30 - 26.764 HAVE SIMILAR REQUESTS AND IN

01:30 - 27.499 MIND DON'T KNOW. THE GOVERNOR'S

01:30 - 31.335 FLAT LINED UP PRETTY MUCH ALL

01:30 - 32.403 OF OUR EDUCATION ENTITIES HAVE

01:30 - 34.204 YOUR ENROLLMENT OVERALL

01:30 - 34.838 UNDERSTANDING THERE ARE A

01:30 - 35.507 GEOGRAPHICAL DISCREPANCIES.

01:30 - 41.345 HAVE YOUR ENROLLMENT INCREASED.

01:30 - 42.479 WE'VE HAD A SUSTAINED PERIOD

01:30 - 44.381 OF DECLINE AND IN THE PAST 2

01:30 - 47.284 YEARS WE'VE SEEN THEM

01:30 - 49.186 LEVEL OFF AND THEN TOOK UP

01:30 - 50.320 A LITTLE BIT. YOU INCREASING.

01:30 - 52.523 IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING FOR

01:30 - 53.224 US TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE

01:30 - 55.225 COMING YEAR. IT'LL BE NICE TO

01:30 - 58.328 SEE A TICK UP AGAIN. WE ARE

01:30 - 00.230 NOW

01:31 - 01.098 FACING ANOTHER ANTICIPATED

01:31 - 01.732 DECLINE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL

01:31 - 02.434 GRADUATING POPULATION. THAT'S

01:31 - 03.567 EXPECTED TO START THIS YEAR AND

01:31 - 07.371 THEN CONTINUE IN THROUGH THE

01:31 - 10.073 NEXT DECADE.

01:31 - 11.208 AS I COMMENTED EARLIER, WE DO

01:31 - 12.309 FOCUS LOT OF EFFORT NOW ON

01:31 - 14.445 TRACK TO USE THE

01:31 - 16.246 NON-TRADITIONAL TYPE

01:31 - 17.080 POPULATION. WE'RE VERY FOCUSED

01:31 - 17.782 ON RETAINING STUDENTS HAVEN'T

01:31 - 20.184 REALLY TALKED ABOUT RETENTION

01:31 - 22.119 HERE

01:31 - 24.054 TODAY. BUT RETAINING A STUDENT

01:31 - 25.055 IS IS A VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE

01:31 - 27.124 IT STUDENT WHO DOESN'T RETAIN

01:31 - 28.058 IS NOT GOING TO GRADUATE.

01:31 - 29.027 RIGHT. AND IF THEY RETAIN, THEY

01:31 - 31.628 CONTINUE TO BE PAYING CUSTOMERS

01:31 - 32.429 AND THAT CONTINUES TO GENERATE

01:31 - 33.097 REVENUE ENROLLMENTS FOR ALL

01:31 - 37.034 THESE KINDS OF THINGS REMAIN

01:31 - 38.735 VERY IMPORTANT

01:31 - 39.803 WHAT I'M HEARING FROM THE

01:31 - 40.405 PRESIDENT'S IS THAT THE

01:31 - 42.940 INDICATIONS AT THIS POINT ARE

01:31 - 45.976 THAT

01:31 - 46.710 WE'RE SEEING A MODEST UPTICK IN

01:31 - 47.378 APPLICATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

01:31 - 50.147 FROM PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS GOING

01:31 - 52.683 FORWARD.

01:31 - 53.418 BUT AT THIS POINT NEAR TOO SOON

01:31 - 55.686 TO TELL WHERE ON THE LINE, OK

01:31 - 56.687 AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEVEL.

01:31 - 59.823 SO THIS YEAR WE WERE UP

01:31 - 01.725 ACROSS THE 154%. THAT DOES,

01:32 - 04.895 YOU KNOW, VARY BY INSTITUTION.

01:32 - 07.831 BUT OVERALL, JUST LIKE HASHI,

01:32 - 08.766 WE LEVELED OFF AND NOW WE'RE

01:32 - 09.867 SEEING A SLIGHT INCREASE AND IT

01:32 - 12.102 IS TOO EARLY FOR THE COMMUNITY

01:32 - 15.439 COLLEGES TO PREDICT WHAT NEXT

01:32 - 16.573 YEAR WILL LOOK LIKE.

01:32 - 18.208 OKAY. I APPRECIATE THE

01:32 - 20.544 HONESTY RELATED TO AN ROLLINS.

01:32 - 21.278 I THINK AGAIN, IT SPEAKS TO THE

01:32 - 21.913 NEED TO RIGHT-SIZE HIGHER

01:32 - 25.349 EDUCATION OVERALL AND MAKE SURE

01:32 - 26.383 THAT WE'RE MEETING THE NEEDS OF

01:32 - 27.150 OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS THE

01:32 - 27.685 COMMONWEALTH IN ALL

01:32 - 30.254 GEOGRAPHICAL AREA. SO THANK

01:32 - 35.325 YOU.

01:32 - 38.829 THANK THE GENTLEMAN.

01:32 - 44.334 AND BY LOOKING AT ME.

01:32 - 45.569 DO I HAVE A IT NOW

01:32 - 47.771 THE ONLY QUESTION NOW HAVE

01:32 - 48.706 US FOR THE PRESIDENT OF CCP

01:32 - 50.707 TO TALK TO US ABOUT WHERE WE

01:32 - 51.376 ARE IN THE PROCESS WITH THE

01:32 - 53.944 A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH CHEYNEY

01:32 - 55.212 UNIVERSITY.

01:32 - 57.981 YES, I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE

01:32 - 59.116 LAUNCHING THE CHAIN YET CCP

01:32 - 59.717 PROGRAM. AS I MENTIONED

01:32 - 02.286 EARLIER, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY

01:33 - 06.189 TO HAVE BACHELOR'S DEGREE

01:33 - 07.190 PATHWAYS FOR OUR STUDENTS AT

01:33 - 08.191 OUR CAMPUS. RIGHT. AND SO IT

01:33 - 08.893 ELIMINATES THE TRANSPORTATION

01:33 - 10.561 ISSUE THAT SOME OF OUR STUDENTS

01:33 - 13.730 MIGHT HAVE IF THEY WANTED TO

01:33 - 14.532 PURSUE AND EDUCATION

01:33 - 16.266 AT CHENEY. WE'RE FOCUSING IN

01:33 - 16.901 ON 4 PATHWAYS, BUT WE ARE

01:33 - 18.869 LAUNCHING IN STARTING WITH

01:33 - 19.604 BUSINESS AND EDUCATION. WE WANT

01:33 - 22.539 TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE

01:33 - 23.907 CONTRIBUTING TO.

01:33 - 24.608 THE PIPELINE FOR TEACHER

01:33 - 25.276 EDUCATION. AND WE KNOW THAT

01:33 - 28.111 THERE'S A SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS

01:33 - 29.646 IN THE COMMONWEALTH AND CCP

01:33 - 30.348 REALLY WANTS TO BE A PART OF

01:33 - 33.450 THAT. SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT

01:33 - 34.084 EDUCATION IS ONE OF

01:33 - 34.786 THE PATHWAYS AT THE COMMUNITY

01:33 - 36.853 COLLEGE OF PHILADELPHIA.

01:33 - 38.522 WE HAVE OVER 400 EDUCATION

01:33 - 39.257 MAJORS. AND SO WE'RE PRIMED AND

01:33 - 42.192 READY TO DO THAT. WE'RE EXCITED

01:33 - 43.660 ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP AND WE

01:33 - 44.328 LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH

01:33 - 45.029 CHENEY AND CREATING ADDITIONAL

01:33 - 46.063 OPPORTUNITIES AS THE PROGRAM

01:33 - 48.231 GROWS. SO WE'RE LAUNCHING IN

01:33 - 51.301 THE FALL.

01:33 - 53.203 IT'S

01:33 - 54.871 SO VERY HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT

01:33 - 55.572 THIS PARTNERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN

01:33 - 56.307 INVOLVED IN IT. QUITE HONESTLY.

01:33 - 58.208 I THINK IT'S A PARTNERSHIP.

01:33 - 01.044 THAT ALL OF US SHOULD BE

01:34 - 01.713 LOOKING AT. AND WITH REGARDS

01:34 - 04.748 TO OUR STATE SYSTEM, SCHOOLS

01:34 - 06.550 AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT

01:34 - 08.685 ARE NESTED IN OUR FOOTPRINT.

01:34 - 10.654 I THINK IT'S AWESOME

01:34 - 12.923 OPPORTUNITY. WE TALK ABOUT HOW

01:34 - 13.491 WE CREATE A STRONGER

01:34 - 15.025 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMMUNITY

01:34 - 17.661 COLLEGES IN OUR STATE SYSTEMS.

01:34 - 20.364 BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS

01:34 - 20.932 GENERAL ASSEMBLY, THIS

01:34 - 23.433 GOVERNMENT IS PROVIDING

01:34 - 23.935 RESOURCES TO BOWL.

01:34 - 27.771 AND ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO

01:34 - 30.941 CUT COST FOR OUR OUR STUDENTS

01:34 - 33.143 IN TURN MAKES THE DOLLARS AND

01:34 - 35.345 CENTS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING GO

01:34 - 39.282 EVEN FURTHER. SO I WELCOME.

01:34 - 41.385 AND ANY MORE INGENUITY AND

01:34 - 42.020 CREATIVITY THAT MARRIES A

01:34 - 44.421 COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND ASKED

01:34 - 46.156 A SYSTEM TO THE BENEFIT OF THE

01:34 - 48.291 END USER, WHICH ARE ALL OF OUR

01:34 - 50.360 STUDENTS AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT

01:34 - 52.896 YOU DO EVERY SINGLE DAY.

01:34 - 56.566 ALL OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES

01:34 - 57.534 TO CONTINUE TO EDUCATE AND

01:34 - 58.136 PUSH FORWARD FOR FOR THE
