Governed by the Ohio Board of Regents, the University System of Ohio was legally unified by Governor Ted Strickland in 2007. It is made up of all Ohio's public institutions of higher education: 13 four-year state universities (plus 24 branch and regional campuses), 23 two-year community and technical colleges, and one public medical college (NEOUCOM). The system has an annual enrollment of over 400,000 students making it one of the five largest state university systems in the U.S.
Former state senator Eric Fingerhut was appointed by the Ohio Board of Regents as the first Chancellor of the system and was tasked by Governor Strickland with formulating a ten-year strategic plan for the overhaul and restructuring of Ohio's public system of higher education. The plan was released to the public on March 31, 2008.[1]
