To: Governor Tom Wolf
Governor Wolf, preserve, sustain and revitalize Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.
A national treasure, for nearly 180 years, this institution has produced exceptional citizens who have changed the world for the better. We want Governor Wolf and the PA State Assembly to preserve, sustain and revitalize Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.
Why is this important?
Cheyney University has been the bridge to success for thousands of students. Because of its historic background, for many minority families, it is still the first higher education choice of first-time college-going students. Sadly, over the past 20 years, this university has suffered due to a lack of adequate state support; weak, state imposed leadership; and the systematic dismantling of its signature programs. It is time for the Commonwealth to acknowledge and respect the essential contributions to the general welfare and commercial strength of Pennsylvania and the United States that emanate from this historic, landmark institution; and to preserve, sustain, and revitalize this great institution.
