Ohio's next two-year budget freezes public college-university tuition - MICHAEL BRATTON, WKSU

Gov. John Kasich signed a two-year state budget last night that includes a freeze on college tuition in Ohio. The freeze is offset by increases in state funding for higher education. The new budget also requires that universities look for ways to reduce student costs by 5 percent over the next two years. State Chancellor John Carey says one way to do that is through competency-based learning, which includes testing students on their knowledge of a subject before moving to new material. http://www.wksu.org/news/story/43521
