Temple responds to Gov. Corbett's budget plan

Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed budget is getting a lot of reaction, especially his plan to slash almost $1.2 billion in funding for education. Kenneth E. Lawrence Jr., Temple's senior vice president for government, community and public affairs, said the school will ask legislators to continue their investment in higher education. "The governor's budget proposal to cut the Commonwealth appropriation to Temple and to the other state-related universities by 50 percent would dramatically alter the relationship between the Commonwealth and these schools," said Lawrence.
