See the link below. From the article:
”As the University begins the spring 2021 semester in the midst of the pandemic and continues unfolding its COVID-19 safety plans, Penn State President Eric J. Barron in a question-and-answer session shares more about the University’s financial outlook and how COVID-19 has affected the institution’s fiscal health.
2020 was a challenging year for everyone across a number of fronts, including our University. Can you talk about how you think Penn State has navigated the pandemic so far?
President Eric Barron: As I’ve said a number of times, the University’s response has been deliberate, coordinated and flexible, all with health and safety as our priority. I again want to give credit to our resilient and innovative faculty and staff, as well as our students, who all quickly transitioned to various modes of teaching, learning and working. The efforts that have been put in place to continue to provide a world-class Penn State education to our students are nothing short of phenomenal.
The pandemic has had a significant financial impact on the University, however, through revenue shortfalls and additional investments needed to respond to the pandemic. So far, we have been able to manage the financial impacts through a combination of federal aid and a series of strategies we have employed to reduce expenditures. While it has been challenging and we remain concerned, we are positioned to come out of the pandemic financially stable.”
The article just oozes got-thisness. Well, I think that’s the ooze.
