Links for today! And perhaps a bit more editorializing than usual :).
Poll: Most in PA Oppose Corbett Education Cuts
Thanks to Bill Lalicker for bringing this to my attention; for PASSHE faculty member and APSCUF leader Terry Madonna reports on the results of a poll indicating that huge majorities of Pennsylvanians, including most members of the Assembly, do NOT support Corbett’s proposal.
That, however, does NOT alleviate the need to keep pushing and fighting. Until our budget is protected, we must keep after it.

Tom Corbett’s Proposed Higher Education Cuts Draw Protests
Good coverage including student responses from Penn State and Pitt. By the way, PASSHE students, this ups the stakes for you. Gotta get the same kind of press, right?

Corbett Defends Higher Education Cuts
The Governor points to Penn State’s tuition increases as the explanation for his draconian budget cuts. It doesn’t seem to occur to him that PASSHE and Penn State are different. And this guy has the guts to talk about anybody, ever, making an informed decision about anything?

Budget Proposal Targets the Wrong Special Interests
Editorial from The Mercury (Potttown/Tri-County) does a nice job laying out the social class issues involved in the Governor’s proposal.
