University Statement Regarding the Proposed FY18 PA Budget

The students, faculty and staff of the University of Pennsylvania recognize the severity of the Commonwealth’s budget challenges. The Governor’s proposed budget does not include the annual appropriation that supports clinical services, research and scholarship at Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine. This is an opportunity to expand awareness of the Vet School’s historic partnership with the Commonwealth, which was designed to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Pennsylvania and its largest industry, agriculture.
