OU Promised Money Still Faces Enrollment Worries
Ohio University will receive its promised 2 million dollar state subsidy this year according to Board of Regents Chancellor James Norton. He noted OU’s enrollment drop has regents concerned, with preliminary Athens campus head count at 13 610, about 1 000 below budget and 2 240 less than last year. Norton called the budget tight but defensible as President Crewson urged frugality. The regents pursue reciprocity plans with other states to ease out of state surcharge and seek 1.3 billion for education in the next biennium.
