February, 1991 — LION’S EYE — Page 3 PSU R&D Funds Rank In Top 10 Penn State ranks seventh among public research universities and eleventh among all universities in the United States in total research and development spending, according to recently released figures from the National Science Foundation. In fiscal year 1989, which ran from October 1, 1988, through September 30, 1989, the University spent more than $219.9 million for research and development in science and engineering. During the previous year, Penn State spent $188.4 million and was ranked fifteenth overall and tenth among public universities. “This ranking is a reflection of Penn State’s standing as a pbulic research University,” President Joab Thomas said. “It also reflects the fine qualitiy of Penn State’s faculty. And it frames the promise of exhilarating and relevant undergraduate and graduate student experience.” According to the study, Johns Hopkins University was first in spending during fiscal year 1989 with $648.4 million. The Massachusetts Institue of Technology was second with $287.2 million, and Cornell University was third with $286.7 million.

With these statistics, Penn State’s budget crisis becomes even more unpredictable. Faculty, staff and students will be kept informed about the University’s financial crisis through Campus Faculty Senate, division heads, and the Student Government Association as Penn State completes the school year.
