They write, "That 0.4% is an investment in the soul of Penn State and the heart of our land-grant mission to bring access to the university to people across the commonwealth. That 0.4% seems like a small price to pay for our soul." I guess that unless soul is a freebie, Old Main isn't interested.

...in an operation with a $10 billion budget that amounts to a 0.4% investment in the commonwealth. Not 4% but rather 4 tenths of 1 percent."

Jay Paterno, Ted Brown, Alice Pope, Randy Houston, and Jeff Ballou write in their op-ed ,"The data around the Commonwealth Campuses suggest that we are losing roughly $40-$50 million per year operating them. That seems like a big number but...

Penn State's constant insistence that it is pennies away from absolute destitution is absurd. That the answer to any financial shortfall should be to slash and burn Commonwealth Campuses which are the oft overlooked hubs of learning meant to reach as many Pennsylvanians as possible, is shameful.

Direct answers aren't Penn State's jam. Transparency is out of style; sidestepping is de rigueur.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

The President of the United States is a traitor to America and Ukraine. Trump has betrayed America’s values and ended the era of Pax Americana. This is not an American Presidency, this is a coup.

Just look at the way Kamala was always flailing around screaming while Tim Walz insisted on being thanked for stuff! I'm so glad that a chunk of voters realized that Trump/Vance was "the lesser of two evils."

As long as these two abusers are congratulated for the way they treat humans, they will become more emboldened, and as we know of domestic and child abuse perpetrators, become insatiably violent.
Kate Rosenberg (@kxrosey.bsky.social) reply parent
When I watched Trump and Vance going after Zelinskyy, I saw abuse. This is how parents emotionally and psychologically abuse children. They attempt to humiliate and shame, take away their child's voice, and withhold anything approximating respect and empathy.

We are Americans. We’re the most powerful nation on the planet. What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak. What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted. What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

Yet one more opportunity to thank all of the voters who "just weren't sure Harris has what it takes" for voting for a bullying ogre and his spiteful, bratty sidekick. No question she and Walz would be the epitome of class and generosity.

We're the bad guys. We've cast our lot with Russia, North Korea, and Iran. And we've shouted down the true hero in this battle, Volodymyr Zelensky. We've shamefully berated and bullied him.
