Not even remotely true. First of all, financial strength and enrollment are two separate issues. Unfortunately, Akron is in crisis in both areas. The Board of regents recently issued a report on the financial position of Ohio's state universities. The strongest financially were OSU, Miami, Ohio University, BGSU, and Wright State, as I recall. Cincinnati has a ton of debt but is not in crisis in any respect.
Strongest enrollment trends are at OSU, Cincinnati, OU, and BGSU. OU has had record freshman classes in each of the past three years and is projecting additional growth this fall. Worst enrollment trends are Akron, Toledo and Central State.
