Governor visits campus to discuss education budget
Gov. Ted Strickland aims to “reverse the disinvestment in higher education and begin the reinvestment” through a plan he promoted
on campus March 28. “It’s important to do that not just for the students but for the state,” he said.
At a press conference hosted by President Ribeau, the governor outlined his proposals for the biennial budget. They include
discontinuing aid to for-profit institutions not recognized by the Ohio Board of Regents, making financial aid more need-based
and, most importantly for state colleges, calling for a tuition freeze for the next academic year.
In return, he said, the state will make a number of short- and long-term commitments to state colleges and universities, including
a 5 percent increase in state share of instruction for those universities that adopt the tuition freeze next year and a promise
of an additional 2 percent in 2009 for those that keep tuition increases at 3 percent or less.
