Anon,

The school is not subsidizing study abroad programs. Rather, it is waving previous tuition and fee requirements that students who study abroad previously had to pay to OSU during their time abroad regardless of the fact that they were not taking classes at OSU and were not receiving any services from their paid fees. Students correctly do not have to pay OSU for these classes and services that they are not receiving. This policy is fair to students, encourages studying abroad by removing ridiculous, unnecessary costs, and should be extended indefinitely.
