An update regarding the 'Advance Ohio Higher Education Act'

The following message was shared with the University community on Monday, March 31.

Dear Ohio University community,

As you may be aware, late Friday afternoon Governor Mike DeWine signed the "Advance Ohio Higher Education Act," bringing the legislative process for Senate Bill 1 to a close. We are in active conversations with University leaders to finalize the process and timing of operational changes that will come as a result of this new legislation.

We realize many of you have immediate questions about how this legislation may impact your work or some of the programs and services offered on our campuses. As decisions are made or next steps are determined, we will share more information with our University community. We are working with urgency to be able to provide more details soon.

In the interim, we welcome your questions so that we might consider those in our planning and communications. Please submit questions through our online form so that they can be shared with the appropriate teams.

Sincerely,

Lori Stewart Gonzalez
President

Donald J. Leo
Executive Vice President and Provost
