Ohio Revised Code Title XXXIII. Education Libraries § 3345.064

(A) As used in this section:

(B) Each state university shall endeavor to avoid prioritizing the admission of an applicant who is not an Ohio resident over an applicant who is an Ohio resident if both applicants apply in the same general timeframe, as determined by the university, and have substantially similar qualifications that satisfy the university's admissions criteria. To the extent practicable, a state university shall ensure that Ohio resident applicants are given ample and sufficient opportunity to be admitted, as compared to applicants who are not Ohio residents, if the Ohio resident applicants satisfy the university's admissions criteria.
