ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Four students were arrested at an Ohio University meeting as trustees approved a tuition increase.
According to The Columbus Dispatch (bit.ly/17AJiIv), one arrested student read a statement saying the increase redistributes wealth from poor students to highly paid administrators and coaches.
