"Penn State is one of the most expensive in-state universities in the country. Being a land-grant university, Penn State has an obligation to provide access and affordable education for Pennsylvanians."
"There's talk of raising the tuition this year, and that's not gonna happen on my watch...I'm not about to back down on these things that mean so much."
"I think the university and State College can complement each other. You can walk down College Ave. now, and it's coming back. But the types of stores we have are different. There are many that are closed down. There are many that are hanging on by the string."
"I'm looking for someone that understands that Penn State has had some lapses in leadership in the past. I have not been happy with the current president or athletic director. I think we can do better."
Barron said local police will handle the case, but it's not clear where the incident allegedly occurred or what transpired.
"The biggest issue is affordability. It is a moral issue. Our Land-Grant role is to provide affordable education to the citizens of Pennsylvania and beyond."
