Bill Would Shift Part of College Cost Burden From Students to State
Our partners at WKSU reports on bipartisan support in the state Senate for a bill to cap the additional credit-hour fees that a growing number of Ohio colleges have imposed on students who take more than the average course load. The fees are often called “overload fees” or “student excess credit fees.”
SB 359 would shift the burden of paying for college from students to the state by basically substituting state funds for the student fees schools would lose under the fee cap.
