The contract was approved at the Board鈥檚 regular quarterly meeting, which was held Wednesday, Sept. 11, at the Tuscarawas Campus.
Located in New Philadelphia, 麻豆影院 at Tuscarawas serves as one of 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 seven Regional Campuses. 麻豆影院 State Tuscarawas enrolls about 2,100 students who can complete 27 bachelor鈥檚 and associate degrees.

鈥溌槎褂霸 State has enjoyed a strong and long-standing partnership with the Tuscarawas County University Branch District,鈥 麻豆影院 State President Todd Diacon said. 鈥淲e are proud to extend that relationship for another 10 years to continue to provide a high-quality, affordable college education to the citizens of Tuscarawas County.鈥
For more than five decades, 麻豆影院 State has administered the Tuscarawas Campus since it was first created under the provisions of the Branch District legislation, which was passed by the Ohio Legislature in the mid-1960s. Under the legislation, all 88 of Ohio鈥檚 counties were provided the opportunity of becoming Branch Taxing Districts, but only Tuscarawas chose to do so. In September 2018, 麻豆影院 State Tuscarawas celebrated its 50th anniversary.
鈥淚 am so pleased to have the opportunity to lead such a remarkable campus, working for such a great university,鈥 said Brad Bielski, dean and chief administrative officer of 麻豆影院 State Tuscarawas. 鈥淭his partnership provides countless opportunities to serve the needs of this wonderful community. I wish to thank the members of the 麻豆影院 State Board and administration and the Tuscarawas County University Branch District for their continued support and commitment to further strengthening our already strong relationship.鈥
The new contract delineates the terms under which 麻豆影院 State will provide educational services to the Tuscarawas County University Branch District through June 30, 2030. In general, the university will administer and operate the campus, providing those services that educational institutions traditionally provide in the areas of instruction, finances, curriculum, administration, operation and maintenance of physical plant, and student services.
