Wright State: University can overcome $6M in surprise costs LOCAL - Max Filby, Dayton Daily News

Wright State University is facing a new hurdle in its attempt to stick to its budget for the first time since 2011, but school leaders believe they can still reach their targets. Members of the school’s board of trustees were told Friday that WSU has gone $6 million over budget on employee health benefits this fiscal year. It marks at least the third time in the last year that an unexpected cost has popped up or that a source of revenue didn’t pan out. “The medical insurance was a big wild card that got thrown in…I’m still confident we’ll meet our target at this point,” said Walt Branson, Wright State’s chief business officer. http://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/wright-state-university-can-overcome-surprise-costs/WCQgWASSJMRRS8FKKvTU9H/
