Columbus, OH– Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today signed House Bill 2, allowing the governor to appoint the chancellor of the Board of Regents as a member of his cabinet.
“This legislation is a historic step toward preparing all Ohioans for the 21st century,” Strickland said. “Legislative leaders in both houses and Chancellor Fingerhut deserve great credit for helping build a system of higher education that we all hope will rival the nation in accountability and innovation.”
