YSU expected to lead community college effort

YOUNGSTOWN — A commission set up to find ways for five northeastern Ohio universities to collaborate is expected to recommend that Youngstown State University take the lead in developing a community college in the Mahoning Valley.

The members of the Northeast Ohio Universities Collaboration & Innovation Study Commission reviewed that issue and others earlier this week as the commission prepares to finalize its report to the state before the end of the month.

A final vote on the recommendations could come as early as next Thursday.
