claiming the service was employed in any capacity covered by that 89

       If the board determines that a position of any member in any 108
calendar year prior to January 1, 1935, was a part-time position, 109
the board shall determine what fractional part of a year's credit 110

cent.122

       (2) When the member is paid on a per diem basis, the service 123
credit for any single year of the service shall be determined by 124
using the number of days of service for which the compensation was 125
received in any such year as a numerator and using two hundred 126
fifty days as a denominator.127

       (3) When the member is paid on an hourly basis, the service 128

by all such employee members, a corresponding payment shall be 171
paid into the employers' accumulation fund by that municipal 172
corporation as the employer of the employees.173

       (3) Where a member also is a member of the state teachers 174
retirement system or the school employees retirement system, or 175

to section 145.37 of the Revised Code or as provided in section 177

Revised Code.194

dividing by three the sum of the three full calendar years of 196
contributing service in which the member's earnable salary was 197

contributing service in the year the member's employment 199
terminates and the member's earnable salary for the partial year 200
is higher than for any comparable period in the three years, the 201
member's earnable salary for the partial year shall be substituted 202
for the member's earnable salary for the comparable period during 203
the three years in which the member's earnable salary was lowest.204

       (2) If a member has less than three years of contributing 205

year of credit for each year of service as an elected official 347
shall be considered to have earned a full year of credit for each 348

       (Y) When a member has been elected or appointed to an office, 364
the term of which is two or more years, for which an annual salary 365
is established, and in the event that the salary of the office is 366
increased and the member is denied the additional salary by reason 367
of any constitutional provision prohibiting an increase in salary 368
during a term of office, the member may elect to have the amount 369
of the member's contributions calculated upon the basis of the 370
increased salary for the office. At the member's request, the 371
board shall compute the total additional amount the member would 372
have contributed, or the amount by which each of the member's 373
contributions would have increased, had the member received the 374
increased salary for the office the member holds. If the member 375
elects to have the amount by which the member's contribution would 376
have increased withheld from the member's salary, the member shall 377
notify the employer, and the employer shall make the withholding 378
and transmit it to the retirement system. A member who has not 379
elected to have that amount withheld may elect at any time to make 380
a payment to the retirement system equal to the additional amount 381
the member's contribution would have increased, plus interest on 382
that contribution, compounded annually at a rate established by 383
the board and computed from the date on which the last 384
contribution would have been withheld from the member's salary to 385
the date of payment. A member may make a payment for part of the 386
period for which the increased contribution was not withheld, in 387
which case the interest shall be computed from the date the last 388

institution of higher education or a facsimile thereof affixed 1598
thereto or printed thereon and shall be executed by such officers 1599

by facsimile signatures. Any obligations or assurances may be 1601
executed by an officer who, on the date of execution, is the 1602
proper officer although on the date of such obligations or 1603
assurances such person was not the proper officer. In case any 1604
officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears 1605
on any such obligation or assurance ceases to be such officer 1606
before delivery thereof, such signature or facsimile is 1607
nevertheless valid and sufficient for all purposes as if the 1608
person had remained such officer until such delivery; and in case 1609
the seal of the institution has been changed after a facsimile of 1610

attached thereto as to principal alone or as to both principal and 1621

assurances, the institution of higher education may issue interim 1629
receipts or certificates which shall be exchanged for such 1630
definitive obligations or assurances.1631

additionally by a trust agreement or indenture between the 1633
institution of higher education and a corporate trustee, which may 1634
be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company 1635
within or without this state but authorized to exercise trust 1636
powers within this state. Any such agreement or indenture may 1637
contain the resolution authorizing the issuance of the obligations 1638

resolution authorizing such notes. Such notes may be additionally 1684

       The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall establish 2473
procedures to allocate the foregoing appropriation items 235501, 2474
State Share of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction 2475
- Federal Stimulus - Education, based on the formulas, enrollment, 2476
course completion, degree attainment, and student access factors 2477
in the instructional models set out in this section.2478

       The foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share of 2479
Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction – Federal 2480
Stimulus – Education, shall be combined for the purposes of 2481
allocating the state share of instruction subsidy. 2482

       (A) FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) ENROLLMENTS AND COMPLETIONS2483

       (1) As soon as possible during each fiscal year of the 2484
biennium ending June 30, 2011, in accordance with instructions of 2485
the Board of Regents, each state-assisted institution of higher 2486
education shall report its actual enrollment, consistent with the 2487
definitions in the Higher Education Information (HEI) system's 2488
enrollment files, to the Chancellor of the Board of Regents.2489

       (2) In defining the number of full-time equivalent students 2490
for state subsidy purposes, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents 2491
shall exclude all undergraduate students who are not residents of 2492
Ohio, except those charged in-state fees in accordance with 2493
reciprocity agreements made under section 3333.17 of the Revised 2494
Code or employer contracts entered into under section 3333.32 of 2495
the Revised Code.2496

       (3) In calculating the core subsidy entitlements for 2497
university branch and main campuses, the Chancellor of the Board 2498
of Regents shall use the following count of FTE students:2499

       (a) The subsidy eligible enrollments by model shall equal 2500
only those FTE students who successfully complete the course as 2501
defined and reported through the Higher Education Information 2502
(HEI) system course enrollment file; 2503

       (b) For those FTE students with successful course 2504
completions, identified in division (3)(a) of this section, 2505
completions that were achieved by a student that was eligible to 2506
receive Ohio need-based financial aid shall have their enrollments 2507
weighted by the following:2508

       (i) Campus-specific course completion rates by discipline 2509
area and level; and 2510

       (ii) A statewide average OIG/OCOG course completion weight 2511
determined for each discipline area and level. The statewide 2512
average OIG/OCOG course completion weight shall be determined by 2513
calculating the difference between the percentage of traditional 2514
students who complete a course and the percentage of Ohio 2515
Instructional Grant and Ohio College Opportunity Grant recipients 2516
who complete the same course.2517

       (4) In calculating the core subsidy entitlements for Medical 2518
II models only, the Board of Regents shall use the following count 2519
of FTE students:2520

       (a) For those medical schools whose current year enrollment, 2521
including students repeating terms, is below the base enrollment, 2522
the Medical II FTE enrollment shall equal: 65 per cent of the base 2523
enrollment plus 35 per cent of the current year enrollment 2524
including students repeating terms, where the base enrollment is:2525

The Ohio State University 1010 2526
University of Cincinnati 833 2527
University of Toledo 650 2528
Wright State University 433 2529
Ohio University 433 2530

       (b) For those medical schools whose current year enrollment, 2532
excluding students repeating terms, is equal to or greater than 2533
the base enrollment, the Medical II FTE enrollment shall equal the 2534
base enrollment plus the FTE for repeating students.2535

       (c) Students repeating terms may be no more than five per 2536
cent of current year enrollment.2537

       (5) The state share of instruction to state-supported 2538
universities for students enrolled in law schools in fiscal year 2539
2010 and fiscal year 2011 shall be calculated by using the number 2540
of subsidy-eligible FTE law school students funded by state 2541
subsidy in fiscal year 1995 or the actual number of 2542
subsidy-eligible FTE law school students at the institution in the 2543
fiscal year, whichever is less.2544

       (B) TOTAL COSTS PER FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT STUDENT2545

       For purposes of calculating state share of instruction 2546
allocations, the total instructional costs per full-time 2547

ENTITLEMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS2610

       (1) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2611
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2612
Stimulus - Education, 5 per cent of the appropriation for 2613
state-supported community colleges, state community colleges, and 2614
technical colleges in fiscal year 2011 shall be allocated to 2615
colleges in proportion to their share of college student success 2616
factors. In fiscal year 2011, student success factors shall 2617
include all measureable student outcomes that contribute to 2618
student achievement as determined by the Chancellor of the Board 2619
of Regents based on the recommendation of the consultation created 2620
in the Section of this actsections of Am. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 2621
128th General Assembly entitled "Studies to Determine Weights for 2622
Fiscal Year 2011 State Share of Instruction Formula."2623

       (2) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2624
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2625
Stimulus - Education, up to 12.89 per cent of the appropriation 2626
for university main campuses in each fiscal year shall be reserved 2627
for support of doctoral programs to implement the funding 2628
recommendations made by representatives of the universities. The 2629
amount so reserved shall be referred to as the doctoral set-aside.2630

       The doctoral set-aside shall be allocated to universities as 2631
follows:2632

       (a) 90 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2010 2633
and 80 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2634
shall be allocated to universities in proportion to their share of 2635
the total number of Doctoral I equivalent FTEs as calculated on an 2636
institutional basis using the greater of the two-year or five-year 2637
FTEs for the period fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 1998 with 2638
annualized FTEs for fiscal years 1994 through 1997 and all-term 2639
FTEs for fiscal year 1998 as adjusted to reflect the effects of 2640
doctoral review and subsequent changes in Doctoral I equivalent 2641
enrollments. For the purposes of this calculation, Doctoral I 2642
equivalent FTEs shall equal the sum of Doctoral I FTEs plus 1.5 2643
times the sum of Doctoral II FTEs.2644

       (b) 5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2010 2645
and 10 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2646
shall be allocated to universities in proportion to each campus's 2647
share of the total statewide doctoral degrees, weighted by the 2648
cost of the doctoral discipline. In calculating each campus's 2649
doctoral degrees the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use 2650
the three-year average doctoral degrees awarded for the three-year 2651
period ending in the prior year. 2652

       (c) 2.5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2653
2010 and 5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2654
shall be allocated to universities in proportion to their share of 2655
research grant activity, using data collected and published by the 2656
National Science Foundation. Grant awards from the National Health 2657
Institute shall be weighted at 50 per cent.2658

       (d) 2.5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2659
2010 and 5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2660
shall be allocated to universities based on other quality measures 2661
that contribute to the advancement of the Chancellor's strategic 2662
plan. These other quality measures shall be identified by the 2663
Chancellor in consultation with universities. If for any reason 2664
metrics for distributing the quality component of the doctoral 2665
set-aside are not identified prior to the fiscal year allocation 2666
process, this portion of the doctoral set-aside funds shall be 2667
allocated to universities based on division (D)(2)(a) of this 2668
section.2669

       (3) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2670
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2671
Stimulus - Education, 6.96 per cent of the appropriation for 2672
university main campuses in each fiscal year shall be reserved for 2673
support of Medical II FTEs. The amount so reserved shall be 2674
referred to as the medical II set-aside.2675

       The medical II set-aside shall be allocated to universities 2676
in proportion to their share of the total number of Medical II 2677
FTEs as calculated in division (A) of this section, weighted by 2678
model cost.2679

       (4) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2680
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2681
Stimulus - Education, 1.61 per cent of the appropriation for 2682
university main campuses in each fiscal year shall be reserved for 2683
support of Medical I FTEs. The amount so reserved shall be 2684
referred to as the medical I set-aside.2685

       The medical I set-aside shall be allocated to universities in 2686
proportion to their share of the total number of Medical I FTEs as 2687
calculated in division (A) of this section.2688

        (5) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2689
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2690
Stimulus - Education, 5 per cent of the fiscal year 2010 2691
appropriation for university main campuses and 10 per cent of the 2692
fiscal year 2011 appropriation for university main campuses shall 2693
be reserved for support of associate, baccalaureate, master's, and 2694
professional level degree attainment.2695

       The degree attainment funding shall be allocated to 2696
universities in proportion to each campus's share of the total 2697
statewide degrees granted, weighted by the cost of the degree 2698
programs. 2699

       In calculating the subsidy entitlements for degree attainment 2700
at university main campuses, the Chancellor of the Board of 2701
Regents shall use the following count of degrees and degree costs:2702

       (a) For those associate degrees awarded by a state-supported 2703
university, the subsidy eligible degrees granted are defined as 2704
only those earned by students attending a university that received 2705
funding under GRF appropriation item 235418, Access Challenge, in 2706
fiscal year 2009. 2707

       (b) In calculating each campus's count of degrees, the 2708
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the three-year 2709
average associate, baccalaureate, master's, and professional 2710
degrees awarded for the three-year period ending in the prior 2711
year. 2712

       Eligible associate degrees defined in division (D)(5)(a) of 2713
this section and all bachelor's degrees earned by a student that 2714
was eligible to receive Ohio need-based financial aid shall have 2715
their associates degree cost weighted by a statewide OIG/OCOG 2716
degree completion weight.2717

       The statewide average OIG/OCOG degree completion weight shall 2718
be determined by calculating the difference between the percentage 2719
of traditional students who earned a degree and the percentage of 2720
Ohio Instructional Grant and Ohio College Opportunity Grant 2721
recipients who earned a degree during the same time period. 2722

       (6) Each campus's state share of instruction base formula 2723
earnings shall be determined as follows:2724

       (a) For each campus in each fiscal year, the instructional 2725
costs shall be determined by multiplying the amounts listed above 2726
in divisions (B) and (C) of this section by (i) average 2727
subsidy-eligible FTEs for the two-year period ending in the prior 2728
year for all models except Doctoral I and Doctoral II; and (ii) 2729
average subsidy-eligible FTEs for the five-year period ending in 2730
the prior year for all models except Doctoral I and Doctoral II.2731

       (b) The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute the 2732
two calculations listed in division (D)(6)(a) of this section and 2733
use the greater amount as each campus's instructional costs.2734

       (c) The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute a 2735
uniform state share of instructional costs for each sector.2736

       (i) For the state supported community colleges, state 2737
community colleges, and technical colleges, the Chancellor of the 2738
Board of Regents shall compute the uniform state share of 2739
institutional costs by dividing the earmark in division (C)(1) of 2740
Section 371.20.90 of this actAm. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 128th General 2741
Assembly, less the student college success allocation as described 2742
in division (D)(1) of this section, by the sum of all eligible 2743
campuses' instructional costs as calculated in division (D)(6)(b) 2744
of this section.2745

       (ii) For the state supported university branch campuses, the 2746
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute the uniform state 2747
share of institutional costs by dividing the earmark in division 2748
(C)(2) of Section 371.20.90 of this actAm. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 2749
128th General Assembly by the sum of all campuses' instructional 2750
costs as calculated in division (D)(6)(b) of this section.2751

       (iii) For the state supported university main campuses, the 2752
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute the uniform state 2753
share of institutional costs by dividing the earmark in division 2754
(C)(3) of Section 371.20.90 of this actAm. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 2755
128th General Assembly, less the doctoral set-aside, less the 2756
medical I set-aside, less the medical II set-aside, and less the 2757
degree attainment funding as calculated in divisions (D)(2) to (5) 2758
of this section, by the sum of all campuses' instructional costs 2759
as calculated in division (D)(6)(b) of this section. 2760

       (d) The formula entitlement for each sector's campuses shall 2761
be determined by multiplying the uniform state share of costs 2762
calculated in division (D)(6)(c) of this section by the campus's 2763
instructional cost determined in division (D)(6)(b) of this 2764
section.2765

       (7) In addition to the student success allocation, doctoral 2766
set-aside, medical I set-aside, medical II set-aside, and the 2767
degree attainment allocation determined in divisiondivisions2768
(D)(1) to (D)(5) of this section and the formula entitlement 2769
determined in division (D)(6) of this section, an allocation based 2770
on facility-based plant operations and maintenance (POM) subsidy 2771
shall be made. For each eligible campus, the amount of the POM 2772
allocation in each fiscal year shall be distributed based on what 2773
each campus received in the fiscal year 2009 POM allocation.2774

       Any POM allocations required by this division shall be funded 2775
by proportionately reducing formula entitlement earnings, 2776
including the POM allocations, for all campuses in that sector.2777

       (8) STABILITY IN STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FUNDING2778

       In addition to and after the adjustments noted above, in 2779
fiscal year 2010, no campus shall receive a state share of 2780
instruction allocation that is less than 99 per cent of the prior 2781
year's combined state share of instruction, access challenge, and 2782
success challenge amounts. Funds shall be made available to 2783
support this allocation by proportionately reducing formula 2784
entitlement earnings from those campuses, within each sector, that 2785
are not receiving stability funding.2786

       In fiscal year 2011, in addition to and after the adjustments 2787
noted above, no campus shall receive a state share of instruction 2788
allocation that is less than 98 per cent of the prior year's 2789
combined state share of instruction, access challenge, and success 2790
challenge amounts. Funds shall be made available to support this 2791
allocation by proportionately reducing formula entitlement 2792
earnings from those campuses, within each sector, that do not 2793
receive stability funding.2794

       (9) CAPITAL COMPONENT DEDUCTION2795

       After all other adjustments have been made, state share of 2796
instruction earnings shall be reduced for each campus by the 2797
amount, if any, by which debt service charged in Am. H.B. 748 of 2798
the 121st General Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 850 of the 122nd General 2799
Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 640 of the 123rd General Assembly, H.B. 2800
675 of the 124th General Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 16 of the 126th 2801
General Assembly, and Am. Sub. H.B. 699 of the 126th General 2802
Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 496 of the 127th General Assembly, and Am. 2803
Sub. H.B. 562 of the 127th General Assembly for that campus 2804
exceeds that campus's capital component earnings. The sum of the 2805
amounts deducted shall be transferred to appropriation item 2806
235552, Capital Component, in each fiscal year.2807

       (E) EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES2808

       Adjustments may be made to the state share of instruction 2809
payments and other subsidies distributed by the Chancellor of the 2810
Board of Regents to state-assisted colleges and universities for 2811
exceptional circumstances. No adjustments for exceptional 2812
circumstances may be made without the recommendation of the 2813
Chancellor and the approval of the Controlling Board.2814

       (F) APPROPRIATION REDUCTIONS TO THE STATE SHARE OF 2815
INSTRUCTION2816

       The standard provisions of the state share of instruction 2817
calculation as described in the preceding sections of temporary 2818
law shall apply to any reductions made to appropriation items 2819
235501, State Share of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of 2820
Instruction - Federal Stimulus - Education, before the Board of 2821
Regents has formally approved the final allocation of the state 2822
share of instruction funds for any fiscal year.2823

       Any reductions made to appropriation items 235501, State 2824
Share of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - 2825
Federal Stimulus - Education, after the Board of Regents has 2826
formally approved the final allocation of the state share of 2827
instruction funds for any fiscal year, shall be uniformly applied 2828
to each campus in proportion to its share of the final allocation.2829

       (G) DISTRIBUTION OF STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION2830

       The state share of instruction payments to the institutions 2831
shall be in substantially equal monthly amounts during the fiscal 2832
year, unless otherwise determined by the Director of Budget and 2833
Management pursuant to section 126.09 of the Revised Code. 2834
Payments during the first six months of the fiscal year shall be 2835
