Some observations:
PASSHE State funding is actually up over the 10 year period that enrollment has been falling.
In 2010-11 the PASSHE got a temporary infusion of federal cash in the form of the ARRA. That bloated the PASSHE budget beyond a taxpayer sustainable level.
PASSHE funding per student is up 31%.
