By Christina Lengyel | The contributor (The ) – Leaders of Pennsylvania's four state-related universities told lawmakers this week that without more support, they'll make up the missing funding through tuition increases. The University of Pittsburgh, Penn State University, Temple University and Lincoln University testified that declining enrollment and struggles to keep graduates in Pennsylvania means that Gov. Josh Shapiro's 7.1% funding increase won't be enough to stave off future hikes. 'Pennsylvania is going to be feeling the demographic cliff,' said Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher.
