First, undo the insane East and West PASSHE consolidation. Then start funding them all closer to the levels of the 1970’s. Then provide student loans at the 1970’s level: 6% state and 3% federal. The 14 PASSHE schools were all originally teacher colleges with a great record of feeding high numbers of new teachers to the PA, and the nation’s, classrooms, until the last 30 years when non-union PSU - with around 25 branch campuses - were converted to 4-year degree granting schools providing more than agricultural higher education to students, and unfair competition to PASSHE schools.

The name "Penn West" just sounds like a shitty for-profit trade school designed to bilk people out of money a la ITT Tech.
