Senate Bill 117 was added to the state budget.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
An amendment to SB 117 — added on the Senate floor days before the budget was signed into law — tacked on Miami, Cleveland State and Cincinnati to the list of universities to get centers for civics, culture and society. Democratic senators said those universities didn’t receive a heads up about being added to the bill.
The state’s budget allocates $24 million for these centers — $5 million each fiscal year to Ohio State, $1 million each fiscal year to Toledo and $2 million each fiscal year for each center at Miami, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. The council at all five universities will conduct a nationwide search for candidates for a director, who will ultimately report directly to the provost or university president.Ohio State has until Nov. 20 to appoint the center’s academic council, and their center will have at least 15 faculty members.
