[Fightingscot82]

While our schools struggle with high school level facilities, don't worry - Pennsylvania just granted private university RMU $7 million toward construction of an on-campus hockey arena.

Harrisburg University continues to struggle. Their president has abruptly resigned - but this is usually a condition of emergency financing to stay afloat. Similar things have happened at AB and elsewhere.

I've never heard of Harrisburg University. Not joking ... didn't know such a place existed.

Probably because they weren't founded until 2001.

Full name is Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. 6,500 students. They pay their president more than PASSHE pays the Chancellor. Go figure.

They haven’t healed from all of the burns they received for paying in full for the Angelo Dome.

I think there was another "never heard of this" thread, possibly with Nation. They've gotten a lot of publicity on Harrisburg area TV stations. It was most irritating when they got several stories featuring their e-sports team, when area PSAC schools such as Ship and Millersville can't get pub for any of their sports teams — not even team previews or announcing scores on the air. Apparently there was something magnetic about nerds sitting on their butts playing video games.
