No Real Hope for Higher State Funding at Ohio University
OU President Claude R. Sowle said the State Senate is unlikely to increase higher education funding and may cut House provisions. The university plans to raise student fees, citing budget delays and potential cash-flow problems if interim funding continues. Graduates face higher costs but many hold waivers or pay by the hour. Sowle praised Gov. Gilligan’s choice of Charles Holzer Jr. as trustee and defended contract policies while noting a need for careful management of nonacademic employee complaints.
