Ohio University heating costs rise fuel bills hit state schools
Ohio's state universities spent about five million dollars more on winter heating than the prior year. The Ohio Board of Regents considered a 234000 request from Central State University to cover the surge and advised other institutions with similar needs to petition at the April 18 meeting. The emergency fund remains about 4.8 million and universities must document needs and show conservation efforts. The board also backed a plan for an $18 million federal funds bid to help pay winter heating costs for the aged and indigent, funded by about six million in state dollars on a 3 to 1 match.
