When I came to Penn State in fall 2017, one quickly picked up that we were proud of being a "land grant" school and that this implied (and even required) a public service mission.

In 2020, High Country News released their land grant data and I was appalled to realize what it actually meant.

With votes to close 7 of our campuses, I've seen callbacks to this "land grant" language but it leaves my mouth and stomach bitter so I thought I'd write about what it really means
