Campus Recreation experiencing budget cuts over course of three years - Hardika Singh, Athens Post

Campus Recreation will have a decreased budget over three years as a step to reduce spending by 7 percent. The annual Division of Student Affairs report shows a 0.7 percent decrease in budget allocation for Campus Recreation in 2018 from 2017, according to Ohio University Budget Director Katie Hensel. “The (2017) expense budget for Campus Recreation was $6,337,985, and for (2018) the expense budget is $6,293,297, a slight decrease,” Hensel said in an email. Executive Director of Campus Recreation Mark Ferguson said overall services will be maintained, however, changes in Campus Recreation will be seen in the way students are managed. That would mean cutting costs on staff for officiating levels of some intramural sports. https://www.thepostathens.com/article/2018/10/ohio-university-campus-recreation-budget-cuts
