It’s about time they focus on something of paramount importance. Speaking of which, what about Sandy’s swimming hole?

My understanding is that the Athletics Facilities Master Plan has become the world's most expensive doorstop.

A pond would be good for Bob.

“Board committee recommends approval of 2023-24 room and board rates”

See the link below. From the article:

“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The room and board rate at Penn State’s University Park campus — based on a standard double room and the mid-level meal plan — would increase by $224 per semester, or 3.56%, for the 2023-24 academic year under a plan approved today (Feb. 16) by the Penn State Board of Trustees Committee on Finance, Business and Capital Planning. 

The proposed rates will next go to the full Board of Trustees for final consideration on Feb. 17.

The plan also calls for a total 2.15% increase in room and board rates at Penn State’s Abington, Altoona, Beaver, Berks, Brandywine and Harrisburg campuses, and a 1.41% increase in room and board rates at the Behrend, Greater Allegheny, Hazleton, Mont Alto and Schuylkill campuses. The aggregate room and board rate increase at the Commonwealth Campuses is proposed to be 1.78%.

Sara Thorndike, senior vice president for Finance and Business/treasurer, indicated that high inflation, particularly for food and utilities, was a primary contributor to this year’s proposed rate increases, in addition to new debt on renovated residence halls. The proposed rates include projected cost increases for employee salaries and benefits, facility maintenance and renewal, and the operation of the Residence Life program.”

Yep, money is fungible and this is taking a bunch from students.
