       If the board determines that a position of any member in any 107

paid into the employers' accumulation fund by that municipal 171
corporation as the employer of the employees.172

dividing by three the sum of the three full calendar years of 195

contributing service in the year the member's employment 198
terminates and the member's earnable salary for the partial year 199
is higher than for any comparable period in the three years, the 200
member's earnable salary for the partial year shall be substituted 201
for the member's earnable salary for the comparable period during 202
the three years in which the member's earnable salary was lowest.203

       (2) If a member has less than three years of contributing 204

       (b) For each month for which the member's earnable salary is 334

year of credit for each year of service as an elected official 346
shall be considered to have earned a full year of credit for each 347

       (Y) When a member has been elected or appointed to an office, 363
the term of which is two or more years, for which an annual salary 364
is established, and in the event that the salary of the office is 365
increased and the member is denied the additional salary by reason 366
of any constitutional provision prohibiting an increase in salary 367
during a term of office, the member may elect to have the amount 368
of the member's contributions calculated upon the basis of the 369
increased salary for the office. At the member's request, the 370
board shall compute the total additional amount the member would 371
have contributed, or the amount by which each of the member's 372
contributions would have increased, had the member received the 373
increased salary for the office the member holds. If the member 374
elects to have the amount by which the member's contribution would 375
have increased withheld from the member's salary, the member shall 376
notify the employer, and the employer shall make the withholding 377
and transmit it to the retirement system. A member who has not 378
elected to have that amount withheld may elect at any time to make 379
a payment to the retirement system equal to the additional amount 380
the member's contribution would have increased, plus interest on 381
that contribution, compounded annually at a rate established by 382
the board and computed from the date on which the last 383
contribution would have been withheld from the member's salary to 384
the date of payment. A member may make a payment for part of the 385
period for which the increased contribution was not withheld, in 386
which case the interest shall be computed from the date the last 387
contribution would have been withheld for the period for which the 388
payment is made. Upon the payment of the increased contributions 389
as provided in this division, the increased annual salary as 390
provided by law for the office for the period for which the member 391
paid increased contributions thereon shall be used in determining 392
the member's earnable salary for the purpose of computing the 393
member's final average salary.394

       (Z) "Five years of service credit," for the exclusive purpose 395
of satisfying the service credit requirements and of determining 396
eligibility for benefits under section 145.33 of the Revised Code, 397
means employment covered under this chapter or under a former 398
retirement plan operated, recognized, or endorsed by the employer 399

bond proceedings or otherwise by the institution of higher 1581
education;1582

institution of higher education or a facsimile thereof affixed 1597
thereto or printed thereon and shall be executed by such officers 1598
as are designated in the bond proceedings, which execution may be 1599
by facsimile signatures. Any obligations or assurances may be 1600
executed by an officer who, on the date of execution, is the 1601
proper officer although on the date of such obligations or 1602
assurances such person was not the proper officer. In case any 1603
officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears 1604
on any such obligation or assurance ceases to be such officer 1605
before delivery thereof, such signature or facsimile is 1606
nevertheless valid and sufficient for all purposes as if the 1607
person had remained such officer until such delivery; and in case 1608
the seal of the institution has been changed after a facsimile of 1609
the seal has been imprinted on such obligations or assurances, 1610

attached thereto as to principal alone or as to both principal and 1620
interest, their exchange for obligations or assurances so 1621

obligations or assurances with coupons attached thereto of any 1623
obligations or assurances registered as to both principal and 1624
interest, and for reasonable charges for such registration, 1625

assurances, the institution of higher education may issue interim 1628
receipts or certificates which shall be exchanged for such 1629
definitive obligations or assurances.1630

       (I) Such obligations or assurances may be secured 1631
additionally by a trust agreement or indenture between the 1632
institution of higher education and a corporate trustee, which may 1633
be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company 1634
within or without this state but authorized to exercise trust 1635
powers within this state. Any such agreement or indenture may 1636
contain the resolution authorizing the issuance of the obligations 1637

       The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall establish 2472
procedures to allocate the foregoing appropriation items 235501, 2473
State Share of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction 2474
- Federal Stimulus - Education, based on the formulas, enrollment, 2475
course completion, degree attainment, and student access factors 2476
in the instructional models set out in this section.2477

       The foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share of 2478
Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction – Federal 2479
Stimulus – Education, shall be combined for the purposes of 2480
allocating the state share of instruction subsidy. 2481

       (A) FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT (FTE) ENROLLMENTS AND COMPLETIONS2482

       (1) As soon as possible during each fiscal year of the 2483
biennium ending June 30, 2011, in accordance with instructions of 2484
the Board of Regents, each state-assisted institution of higher 2485
education shall report its actual enrollment, consistent with the 2486
definitions in the Higher Education Information (HEI) system's 2487
enrollment files, to the Chancellor of the Board of Regents.2488

       (2) In defining the number of full-time equivalent students 2489
for state subsidy purposes, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents 2490
shall exclude all undergraduate students who are not residents of 2491
Ohio, except those charged in-state fees in accordance with 2492
reciprocity agreements made under section 3333.17 of the Revised 2493
Code or employer contracts entered into under section 3333.32 of 2494
the Revised Code.2495

       (3) In calculating the core subsidy entitlements for 2496
university branch and main campuses, the Chancellor of the Board 2497
of Regents shall use the following count of FTE students:2498

       (a) The subsidy eligible enrollments by model shall equal 2499
only those FTE students who successfully complete the course as 2500
defined and reported through the Higher Education Information 2501
(HEI) system course enrollment file; 2502

       (b) For those FTE students with successful course 2503
completions, identified in division (3)(a) of this section, 2504
completions that were achieved by a student that was eligible to 2505
receive Ohio need-based financial aid shall have their enrollments 2506
weighted by the following:2507

       (i) Campus-specific course completion rates by discipline 2508
area and level; and 2509

       (ii) A statewide average OIG/OCOG course completion weight 2510
determined for each discipline area and level. The statewide 2511
average OIG/OCOG course completion weight shall be determined by 2512
calculating the difference between the percentage of traditional 2513
students who complete a course and the percentage of Ohio 2514
Instructional Grant and Ohio College Opportunity Grant recipients 2515
who complete the same course.2516

       (4) In calculating the core subsidy entitlements for Medical 2517
II models only, the Board of Regents shall use the following count 2518
of FTE students:2519

       (a) For those medical schools whose current year enrollment, 2520
including students repeating terms, is below the base enrollment, 2521
the Medical II FTE enrollment shall equal: 65 per cent of the base 2522
enrollment plus 35 per cent of the current year enrollment 2523
including students repeating terms, where the base enrollment is:2524

The Ohio State University 1010 2525

       (b) For those medical schools whose current year enrollment, 2531
excluding students repeating terms, is equal to or greater than 2532
the base enrollment, the Medical II FTE enrollment shall equal the 2533
base enrollment plus the FTE for repeating students.2534

       (c) Students repeating terms may be no more than five per 2535
cent of current year enrollment.2536

       (5) The state share of instruction to state-supported 2537
universities for students enrolled in law schools in fiscal year 2538
2010 and fiscal year 2011 shall be calculated by using the number 2539
of subsidy-eligible FTE law school students funded by state 2540
subsidy in fiscal year 1995 or the actual number of 2541
subsidy-eligible FTE law school students at the institution in the 2542
fiscal year, whichever is less.2543

       (B) TOTAL COSTS PER FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT STUDENT2544

       For purposes of calculating state share of instruction 2545

ENTITLEMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS2609

       (1) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2610
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2611
Stimulus - Education, 5 per cent of the appropriation for 2612
state-supported community colleges, state community colleges, and 2613
technical colleges in fiscal year 2011 shall be allocated to 2614
colleges in proportion to their share of college student success 2615
factors. In fiscal year 2011, student success factors shall 2616
include all measureable student outcomes that contribute to 2617
student achievement as determined by the Chancellor of the Board 2618
of Regents based on the recommendation of the consultation created 2619
in the Section of this actsections of Am. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 2620
128th General Assembly entitled "Studies to Determine Weights for 2621
Fiscal Year 2011 State Share of Instruction Formula."2622

       (2) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2623
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2624
Stimulus - Education, up to 12.89 per cent of the appropriation 2625
for university main campuses in each fiscal year shall be reserved 2626
for support of doctoral programs to implement the funding 2627
recommendations made by representatives of the universities. The 2628
amount so reserved shall be referred to as the doctoral set-aside.2629

       The doctoral set-aside shall be allocated to universities as 2630
follows:2631

       (a) 90 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2010 2632
and 80 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2633
shall be allocated to universities in proportion to their share of 2634
the total number of Doctoral I equivalent FTEs as calculated on an 2635
institutional basis using the greater of the two-year or five-year 2636
FTEs for the period fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 1998 with 2637
annualized FTEs for fiscal years 1994 through 1997 and all-term 2638
FTEs for fiscal year 1998 as adjusted to reflect the effects of 2639
doctoral review and subsequent changes in Doctoral I equivalent 2640
enrollments. For the purposes of this calculation, Doctoral I 2641
equivalent FTEs shall equal the sum of Doctoral I FTEs plus 1.5 2642
times the sum of Doctoral II FTEs.2643

       (b) 5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2010 2644
and 10 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2645
shall be allocated to universities in proportion to each campus's 2646
share of the total statewide doctoral degrees, weighted by the 2647
cost of the doctoral discipline. In calculating each campus's 2648
doctoral degrees the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use 2649
the three-year average doctoral degrees awarded for the three-year 2650
period ending in the prior year. 2651

       (c) 2.5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2652
2010 and 5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2653
shall be allocated to universities in proportion to their share of 2654
research grant activity, using data collected and published by the 2655
National Science Foundation. Grant awards from the National Health 2656
Institute shall be weighted at 50 per cent.2657

       (d) 2.5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2658
2010 and 5 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in fiscal year 2011 2659
shall be allocated to universities based on other quality measures 2660
that contribute to the advancement of the Chancellor's strategic 2661
plan. These other quality measures shall be identified by the 2662
Chancellor in consultation with universities. If for any reason 2663
metrics for distributing the quality component of the doctoral 2664
set-aside are not identified prior to the fiscal year allocation 2665
process, this portion of the doctoral set-aside funds shall be 2666
allocated to universities based on division (D)(2)(a) of this 2667
section.2668

       (3) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2669
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2670
Stimulus - Education, 6.96 per cent of the appropriation for 2671
university main campuses in each fiscal year shall be reserved for 2672
support of Medical II FTEs. The amount so reserved shall be 2673
referred to as the medical II set-aside.2674

       The medical II set-aside shall be allocated to universities 2675
in proportion to their share of the total number of Medical II 2676
FTEs as calculated in division (A) of this section, weighted by 2677
model cost.2678

       (4) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2679
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2680
Stimulus - Education, 1.61 per cent of the appropriation for 2681
university main campuses in each fiscal year shall be reserved for 2682
support of Medical I FTEs. The amount so reserved shall be 2683
referred to as the medical I set-aside.2684

       The medical I set-aside shall be allocated to universities in 2685
proportion to their share of the total number of Medical I FTEs as 2686
calculated in division (A) of this section.2687

        (5) Of the foregoing appropriation items 235501, State Share 2688
of Instruction, and 235644, State Share of Instruction - Federal 2689
Stimulus - Education, 5 per cent of the fiscal year 2010 2690
appropriation for university main campuses and 10 per cent of the 2691
fiscal year 2011 appropriation for university main campuses shall 2692
be reserved for support of associate, baccalaureate, master's, and 2693
professional level degree attainment.2694

       The degree attainment funding shall be allocated to 2695
universities in proportion to each campus's share of the total 2696
statewide degrees granted, weighted by the cost of the degree 2697
programs. 2698

       In calculating the subsidy entitlements for degree attainment 2699
at university main campuses, the Chancellor of the Board of 2700
Regents shall use the following count of degrees and degree costs:2701

       (a) For those associate degrees awarded by a state-supported 2702
university, the subsidy eligible degrees granted are defined as 2703
only those earned by students attending a university that received 2704
funding under GRF appropriation item 235418, Access Challenge, in 2705
fiscal year 2009. 2706

       (b) In calculating each campus's count of degrees, the 2707
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the three-year 2708
average associate, baccalaureate, master's, and professional 2709
degrees awarded for the three-year period ending in the prior 2710
year. 2711

       Eligible associate degrees defined in division (D)(5)(a) of 2712
this section and all bachelor's degrees earned by a student that 2713
was eligible to receive Ohio need-based financial aid shall have 2714
their associates degree cost weighted by a statewide OIG/OCOG 2715
degree completion weight.2716

       The statewide average OIG/OCOG degree completion weight shall 2717
be determined by calculating the difference between the percentage 2718
of traditional students who earned a degree and the percentage of 2719
Ohio Instructional Grant and Ohio College Opportunity Grant 2720
recipients who earned a degree during the same time period. 2721

       (6) Each campus's state share of instruction base formula 2722
earnings shall be determined as follows:2723

       (a) For each campus in each fiscal year, the instructional 2724
costs shall be determined by multiplying the amounts listed above 2725
in divisions (B) and (C) of this section by (i) average 2726
subsidy-eligible FTEs for the two-year period ending in the prior 2727
year for all models except Doctoral I and Doctoral II; and (ii) 2728
average subsidy-eligible FTEs for the five-year period ending in 2729
the prior year for all models except Doctoral I and Doctoral II.2730

       (b) The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute the 2731
two calculations listed in division (D)(6)(a) of this section and 2732
use the greater amount as each campus's instructional costs.2733

       (c) The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute a 2734
uniform state share of instructional costs for each sector.2735

       (i) For the state supported community colleges, state 2736
community colleges, and technical colleges, the Chancellor of the 2737
Board of Regents shall compute the uniform state share of 2738
institutional costs by dividing the earmark in division (C)(1) of 2739
Section 371.20.90 of this actAm. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 128th General 2740
Assembly, less the student college success allocation as described 2741
in division (D)(1) of this section, by the sum of all eligible 2742
campuses' instructional costs as calculated in division (D)(6)(b) 2743
of this section.2744

       (ii) For the state supported university branch campuses, the 2745
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute the uniform state 2746
share of institutional costs by dividing the earmark in division 2747
(C)(2) of Section 371.20.90 of this actAm. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 2748
128th General Assembly by the sum of all campuses' instructional 2749
costs as calculated in division (D)(6)(b) of this section.2750

       (iii) For the state supported university main campuses, the 2751
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute the uniform state 2752
share of institutional costs by dividing the earmark in division 2753
(C)(3) of Section 371.20.90 of this actAm. Sub. H.B. 1 of the 2754
128th General Assembly, less the doctoral set-aside, less the 2755
medical I set-aside, less the medical II set-aside, and less the 2756
degree attainment funding as calculated in divisions (D)(2) to (5) 2757
of this section, by the sum of all campuses' instructional costs 2758
as calculated in division (D)(6)(b) of this section. 2759

       (d) The formula entitlement for each sector's campuses shall 2760
be determined by multiplying the uniform state share of costs 2761
calculated in division (D)(6)(c) of this section by the campus's 2762
instructional cost determined in division (D)(6)(b) of this 2763
section.2764

       (7) In addition to the student success allocation, doctoral 2765
set-aside, medical I set-aside, medical II set-aside, and the 2766
degree attainment allocation determined in divisiondivisions2767
(D)(1) to (D)(5) of this section and the formula entitlement 2768
determined in division (D)(6) of this section, an allocation based 2769
on facility-based plant operations and maintenance (POM) subsidy 2770
shall be made. For each eligible campus, the amount of the POM 2771
allocation in each fiscal year shall be distributed based on what 2772
each campus received in the fiscal year 2009 POM allocation.2773

       Any POM allocations required by this division shall be funded 2774
by proportionately reducing formula entitlement earnings, 2775
including the POM allocations, for all campuses in that sector.2776

       (8) STABILITY IN STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FUNDING2777

       In addition to and after the adjustments noted above, in 2778
fiscal year 2010, no campus shall receive a state share of 2779
instruction allocation that is less than 99 per cent of the prior 2780
year's combined state share of instruction, access challenge, and 2781
success challenge amounts. Funds shall be made available to 2782
support this allocation by proportionately reducing formula 2783
entitlement earnings from those campuses, within each sector, that 2784
are not receiving stability funding.2785

       In fiscal year 2011, in addition to and after the adjustments 2786
noted above, no campus shall receive a state share of instruction 2787
allocation that is less than 98 per cent of the prior year's 2788
combined state share of instruction, access challenge, and success 2789
challenge amounts. Funds shall be made available to support this 2790
allocation by proportionately reducing formula entitlement 2791
earnings from those campuses, within each sector, that do not 2792
receive stability funding.2793

       (9) CAPITAL COMPONENT DEDUCTION2794

       After all other adjustments have been made, state share of 2795
instruction earnings shall be reduced for each campus by the 2796
amount, if any, by which debt service charged in Am. H.B. 748 of 2797
the 121st General Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 850 of the 122nd General 2798
Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 640 of the 123rd General Assembly, H.B. 2799

General Assembly, and Am. Sub. H.B. 699 of the 126th General 2801
Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 496 of the 127th General Assembly, and Am. 2802
Sub. H.B. 562 of the 127th General Assembly for that campus 2803
exceeds that campus's capital component earnings. The sum of the 2804
amounts deducted shall be transferred to appropriation item 2805
235552, Capital Component, in each fiscal year.2806

       (E) EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES2807

       Adjustments may be made to the state share of instruction 2808
payments and other subsidies distributed by the Chancellor of the 2809
Board of Regents to state-assisted colleges and universities for 2810
exceptional circumstances. No adjustments for exceptional 2811
circumstances may be made without the recommendation of the 2812
Chancellor and the approval of the Controlling Board.2813

       (F) APPROPRIATION REDUCTIONS TO THE STATE SHARE OF 2814
