Ohio State to cut $1.9M in student tuition, fees - Halona Black, Education Dive
Ohio State University will cut 70% of course fees while expanding in-state tuition to out-of-state military, veterans and their immediate family members, among other measures intended to save the students $1.9 million annually, Cleveland.com reported. Other measures approved by university trustees last month include waiving the cost of credit hours taken for an internship or research and launching a pilot program with the College of Social Work to offer lower-cost digital textbooks. The changes stem from a strategic plan set in 2017 that included the input of 500 OSU leaders and 1,000 online responses from across the campus community. Among their concerns was the ability to offer top-notch, affordable education and promote economic diversity.
