Penn State Applications Are Up

Applications to attend Penn State University are up.

University president Graham Spanier says applications for enrollment are still coming in at a record pace, up more than 5 percent from last year across the Penn State system.

Penn State has an enrollment of roughly 92,000 among its 24 campuses statewide as well as online students.

Spanier says Penn State's financial status remains sound, though the school is taking steps to ensure a stable outlook.

He reiterated that university employees will likely not get raises next academic year.
