Ohio's public colleges spend about 20 percent on administrative costs, report says - Karen Farkas, cleveland.com

The cost of administrative employees at Ohio's two- and four-year public colleges consumes an average of about 20 percent of their general fund budgets, according to data gathered by the Ohio Department of Higher Education. Cuyahoga Community College's expenditure of 29.1 percent of its budget for 865 administrative employees led all 22 community colleges and 13 universities except for Ohio State University. Ohio State spent 33.4 percent of its budget for 8,416 administrative employees. Tri-C and other colleges dispute the data, calling it misleading and unreliable. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/10/ohios_public_colleges_spend_about_20_percent_on_administrative_costs_report_says.html
