Given OSU received $41 million of a $6.2 billion fund, they’re receiving about 0.6% of the funds total. OSU has a total enrollment of almost 60,000 students, making it one of the 5 largest institutions in the country. 0.6% doesn’t seem to be too much of a money grab under these circumstances, especially when students struggling to find employment and make ends meet are receiving over $21 million of that money.

Also, OSU completely needs the government to survive – that’s the entire point of a public university system. Government university assistance allows tuition to only be 10 grand a year rather than the 40 grand a year at the average private school, giving millions more kids the opportunity to earn a college degree.
