Today, Gov. Corbett proposed the same funding for Temple as last year’s budget. Speaking at the State Capitol building in Harrisburg this morning, Corbett announced his 2014-15 annual budget proposal that included Temple’s appropriations level.

Corbett’s proposal would see Temple receiving a little over $139.9 million, the same funding that the university has received for the last two fiscal years. All of the other state-related universities – Pennsylvania State University, the University of Pittsburgh and Lincoln University – had a zero percent increase in appropriations proposed as well.

The budget must still go through the General Assembly, which includes a series of subcommittee meetings and votes, then signed by Corbett. The new fiscal year begins on July 1, a deadline that has been narrowly met for every budget since Corbett has entered office.
