	"description": "Support of higher education is key to the research and education Ohioans will need if our state is to survive the interlocking twenty-first century crises of COVID, climate change, economic uncertainty, political dysfunction, and ongoing racial injustice. Nevertheless, this spring, $110 million was cut from Ohio’s public higher education system, already weakened by years of declining public funding. Higher education is one of the largest employers in Ohio, and thousands of staff and faculty have so far been furloughed or laid off, badly damaging communities already suffering from COVID-related expenses and losses. Ohioans are told that the state can’t afford to increase support for higher education and other essential public services. But just this month, Ohioans learned that we had been bilked of over a billion dollars by legislators secretly working with private energy interests. Redirected, those funds could cover Ohio’s entire public education deficit with funds to spare. It’s time to transform our system and spend Ohio public revenues on community needs, not private greed. It&#x27;s time for Ohio to reinvest in public education.",
