GOP budget won't penalize YSU, aide says

YOUNGSTOWN —  A spokeswoman for Ohio House Speaker Jon Husted said Youngstown State University wouldn’t be penalized under a state Republican version of a new state budget unveiled this week.

Contrary to some reports, the additional funding proposed by Republicans wouldn’t be channeled through the state’s traditional State Share of Instruction Formula, said Karen Tabor, speaking for Husted, a Republican from Kettering.

State colleges and universities would be guaranteed a true percentage increase in their annual state subsidy, she said.
