Looks like they'll be expanding into Columbus with this gift from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation.

Joe McLaughlin & Steve Hays will decide what the money should really be used for though :)

Nice to see OHIO picking up the 105 million. I guess that balances out the decision last week to cut the MBA program.

corrected for you.


COB will still offer masters programs. They're just a little more sensible than other depts. to know when they need to change.

That the school is not offering a full time MBA program is indicative of how the school is going down the tubes outside of winning research grants. Undergratuate education is holding steady, while traditional graduate education is under fire. The school leadership has to place more emphasis on doing something for the grauduate community in Athens. I'm okay with the change toward a part time MBA program. Its just not the right way to handle every graduate program. I have some ideas on the subject that I'm working on.
