Ping urges liberal university role beyond job training
Ohio University President Charles J. Ping told the Athens Kiwanis Club that a university should educate for a free society, not just job preparation. He cited a 10 percent drop in freshmen without clear vocations in 1975 and discussed future plans, including a medical school on West Green, budget challenges, and state student exchanges to cut surcharges. He praised branch campuses as sensible access to education.
