In a letter to the university, President Ann Weaver Hart announced what we already knew on Tuesday: Temple’s getting some money.

But not until the 2010 fiscal year.

And, Temple is going to have to share.

Governor Rendell announced Tuesday that he would be receiving $42 million from the federal government as a result of the stimulus package and Temple would be getting a slice of the pie, along with Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh and Lincoln University.

Hart said in her letter that Temple will still be increasingly mindful of its spending in this “economic downturn,” but “the funding will help Temple to keep tuition increases at the lowest possible levels for the next academic year.”

Keep a watchful eye on that tuition bill.
