"Pennsylvania higher-education officials are in talks with Mayor Nutter's office about opening a state university campus in Philadelphia, state and city officials confirmed yesterday.
'It is something we would be interested in participating in,' said Kenn Marshall, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, which oversees 14 universities, including West Chester and Cheyney.
System chancellor John Cavanaugh said shortly after starting the job in 2008 that he planned to explore the idea to help Nutter boost the city's college-degree attainment rate, one of Nutter's inauguration goals."
