Legislative standstill may lead to tuition hikes at Pennsylvania's top universities
Fox News
A partisan budget dispute over funding for state universities could lead to tuition hikes for students in some of Pennsylvania's top learning institutions.
Republicans, however, have balked. House Republicans repeatedly rejected efforts to approve the aid in recent weeks, complaining that the schools are too willing to raise tuition and saying they would prefer to send money to students, not the institutions.
As a whole, the dispute over approving a final spending plan shows no signs of ending quickly. Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman, R-Indiana, sent a letter on Tuesday to his counterpart in the House about the amount of work that still needs to be done, placing the onus on the Democratic-controlled House to do so.
