How does the university afford these initiatives?
Since launching an administrative efficiencies program in 2015, Ohio State has produced $112 million in savings that have been redirected to expand student financial aid and support the Digital Flagship. The university is on track to exceed $200 million in efficiency savings through 2020, surpassing a five-year goal. (See the FY18 scorecard)
The university also directs proceeds from innovative funding projects to academic priorities. For instance, Ohio State invested $800 million from the Comprehensive Energy Management Project in endowments that provide more than $30 million a year for student scholarships, teaching excellence, faculty positions and sustainability projects.
