KENT

Kent State University wants to hire more research faculty with savings from buyouts offered to existing faculty members ready to retire.

Officials say the school plans to use projected savings of nearly $19 million from the buyout to hire tenure track, research-focused faculty over the next eight years. The university’s board of trustees approved the buyout offer Wednesday.
