operating budget, no new charges
or even increases in current fees

Thomas' letter spelled out the
steps Penn State would take to
work through the financial crisis.
Decreasing expenditures such as
university-funded maintenance,
use of reserve funds, and request
for travel expenses to be kept to a
minimum will keep the
university financially fit.

the impact of a 12 percent
reduction in funding," Thomas
said because the fiscal is now
more than half over, and funds
have been committed.
Thomas also noted that with
the cuts, University funding for
the 1990-91 fiscal year is just
under the amount Penn State
received in 1989-90.
Only three states rank lower
that Pennsylvania in funding
higher education.
