Temple students protest Pa. budget cuts

Temple students gathered for a rally and march down Broad Street. Their goal: to bring attention to Governor Tom Corbett's proposed funding cuts for state-supported universities. Temple officials say that if the proposed cuts were made up solely by a tuition increase it would cost each in-state student an extra $5,000 next year. "So really it's a question of priorities. You're going to spend more money on prisons, less money on schools so that you can send more kids to prisons. Who are we fighting for in Harrisburg?" said Temple senior class president Colin Saltry.
