Additionally, the board approved a new financial sustainability process to use at each university, according to Pittsburgh Business Times.

“We’ve made substantial progress in many areas such as transparency and affordability that are central to the success of public higher education in Pennsylvania,”  said state system chancellor Dr. Dan Greenstein in a statement. “I want to thank the Board for its leadership and for its confidence in our vision for transforming the state system.
