Gov. John Kasich tasked university presidents of Ohio to work together to allocate capital budget funding, and Ohio State took the largest share of the distribution.
The Higher Education Capital Funding Commission, which OSU President E. Gordon Gee chairs, representatives from 37 universities came together to submit recommendations on how to spend the state's roughly $350 million capital budget for higher education.
"You've heard me talk … about creating a university system, rather than a system of universities," Kasich said. "Whenever there was a capital build that came before the legislature there were formulas that distributed these dollars."
