Feds to Rendell: Include Pitt, PSU in Application for Stimulus Money
Governor Ed Rendell cannot exclude the University of Pittsburgh and three other state-related universities from an application for $42 million in federal stimulus money.
That's according to the US Department of Education.
Congressman Glenn Thompson says Rendell must reapply for the money and include Pitt, Penn State, Temple and Lincoln.
Rendell's original application includes only the 14 state colleges.
“The bottom line is that the governor can’t make up new rules as he goes along and arbitrarily declare these institutions as not public because they `are not under the absolute control of the Commonwealth,’” said Thompson.
