AP Wire | 01/19/2005 | Rendell wants to extend Penn State law school’s campus life:
“HARRISBURG, Pa. – Gov. Ed Rendell said Wednesday he wants Penn State University to make a longer commitment to keeping its current law school campus in Carlisle if it opens a second campus in State College.
“The university has proposed making the Dickinson School of Law a two-campus school, opening a new facility at its flagship University Park campus by 2010. The plan received preliminary approval from Dickinson’s board of governors on Saturday.
“The agreement, which awaits action by the Penn State trustees on Friday, calls for the Carlisle campus to remain open for 10 years, but university officials have made no promises beyond that.
“‘We’re looking at extending that, making it a more significant number of years,’ Rendell said during a news conference, declining to be more specific. ‘That’s a matter of negotiation.’ …”
