Enrollment is down, and the state is giving them less money, major gift and endowment funds are earmarked for specific projects because that is the law. The money goes to administrators and professors that are top in their field. See back when there was no question of the value of a college education, administrators around the campus figured well we are competing with other universities for students. You were their commodity and by God they were going to try and get you so Drexel, Penn State, nova etc. wouldn't. So they spent an assload of money on other administrators with aggressive recruitment strategies and stole people from their fields and gave them high paying tenured teaching positions. Now the economy is in the shitter, you can learn almost anything on the internet, and employers just don't care too much about degrees, all of which leaves Temple with fewer students every semester while expenses skyrocket. I am all for TUGSA getting theirs, but a large portion of the Temple University staff is non unionized, and I fear that if things continue they way they have been going, there will be mass layoffs (probably sooner than you'd think).
