Ohio State University’s Board of Trustees has approved a $483-million plan that will lease its campus parking operations to an Australian company for 50 years, the Associated Press reports. The university hopes that the controversial offer, which delivers the payment upfront, will raise billions to hire more faculty and support academic programs. Ohio State will maintain ownership of its parking lots and garages, which comprise more than 35,000 spaces.
