Each fiscal year the legislature allocates funding to higher education. A significant amount of work goes into decisions that determine where and how the money gets spent. Regents staff work with the Office of Budget and Management, the Legislature and higher education institutions to develop budgets. Regents staff coordinate commmitees, consultations and councils, analyze data, write new and review current policies, draft amendments, make presentations to the legislature and develop documentation to support their recommendations and decisions. The result of all that work can be explored and examined in the documents, presentations, spreadsheets and Web sites linked from this page.

Campus Financial Accountability - Senate Bill 6
Senate Bill 6 of the 122nd General Assembly was enacted into law in 1997. It is designed to increase financial accountability of state colleges and universities by using a standard set of measures with which to monitor the fiscal health of campuses. Using the year-end audited financial statements submitted by each public institution, the Board of Regents annually applies these standards to monitor individual campus finances.
Higher Education Facilities Bonds
The State of Ohio provides funding for capital projects to higher education institutions by issuing Higher Education Facilities Bonds. The debt and the associated interest expense are recorded on the financial records of the State of Ohio and do not appear on the records of individual institutions.
