Some Penn State students may be seeing a rise in their tuition as part of a university initiative to raise about $33.8 million in revenue.

It's the monthly news story that we just can't escape. Penn State announced yesterday on its Progress website that the cost of related expenses to the Jerry Sandusky fallout has reached nearly $51.8 million.

Transparency has always been a buzz word at Penn State, especially during the last two years. Legions of alumni and students have urged Penn State to become more open with its budget, decision making, and communications, although there is a natural resistance from the university to that push. Ryan Bagwell, a 2002 graduate and former Board of Trustees candidate, has taken that push one step forward into the courts. Bagwell takes habit of filing Right to Know Law requests -- 26 of them, according to his website -- to obtain documents relating to the business of the Board of Trustees and the university.

The latest development in the legal back of forth between judge Louis Freeh and former Penn State President Graham Spanier was filed today. In a strongly worded criminal docket, Freeh's attorneys blasted Spanier for trying to use the media against Freeh and asked for more specific information about why Spanier is suing Freeh for defamation.

Nearly 300 Joe Paterno supporters and anti-Board of Trustees crusaders met and mingled last night at the State College Days Inn for a program called "Upon Further Review" organized by the movement's leaders.

The "Upon Further Review" town hall meeting will be held this Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Days Inn in State College. The event will be hosted by Franco Harris and include presentations from March for Truth organizer Eileen Morgan, blogger/investigator Ray Blehar, and, of course, John Ziegler.
