The President and Governor are now just starting to outline plans to gradually open up businesses and the economy.
But how will it all effect one of the valley's largest employers, which is Youngstown State University?

YSU has over 12,000 students and over 2,000 employees.
They all want to know what their future looks like at YSU.
President Jim Tressel says plans are in place for any outcome.

YSU President Jim Tressel says he already expects all summer 2020 classes to be done remotely. The question now is when will face to face classes resume?
Tressel says they have plans already in place for any scenario.

"There's contingency plans being put together for what if we can't go back to school maybe a month late? what if we have to be totally remote for a whole semester? what's the contingency plan for what if we have to be remote for the whole year?" said Tressel.

Funding is always a concern for any university. And Tressel says the loss of sports on campus has already taken a financial toll.

"I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of $5 million dollars is what we would generate with our athletic programs and that is no small amount," added Tressel.

And state funding, which YSU greatly depends upon, has been diminished due to the coronavirus.

"We've already taken in this last 8 week period, an 8% cut which is about 5% of the whole year's and that's a couple million dollars at least!" said Tressel.

If face to face classes were still done away with this fall YSU could see another $5-$10 million dollar loss in funding from the state. And since people aren't working as much in Ohio that means the state state is taking in less income tax revenue and Tressel is concerned that could mean another 20% reduction in university funding next year.
