Rendell Proposes Cuts for Pitt, Libraries

Pennsylvania's state-related universities – including the University of Pittsburgh – would see a total of $82 million in funding cuts according to figures Governor Ed Rendell released late this morning.

Earlier this month Rendell ordered his department heads to cut $500 million from his budget proposal.

Among the cuts they announced today are $7.5 million for public libraries and $45 million for PHEAA grants.

They've also eliminated funding for the Classrooms for the Future program ($22 million) and museums throughout the state.
