Ohio University's budget could be cut by $12 million - Danielle Keeton-Olsen, Ohio U Post

Ohio Republicans have proposed a budget amendment that could cause significant cuts to Ohio University’s budget. That assessment comes via OU Budget Director Chad Mitchell who says the proposal, which would allow out-of-state students to receive in-state tuition if they register to vote in Ohio, will hit OU’s bottom-line. Mitchell calculated that if all out-of-state students were to register to vote in Ohio, there could be a $12 million reduction in tuition revenue if the proposal passed, according to OU President Roderick McDavis. “The financial impact of that loss would significantly impede our ability to build strong academic programs, maintain our campus infrastructure and provide a transformative learning experience for our students,” McDavis said in a statement. http://thepost.ohiou.edu/content/ohio-universitys-budget-could-be-cut-12-million
