OSU spokesman Jim Lynch told Heartwire<\/em> that the compensation system at OSU is modeled on other public and private universities and colleges. The\u00a0Daily News<\/em> reported that OSU officials said that medical school and athletic department bonuses were “self-funded and don’t draw from tax or tuition dollars.” Lynch told the\u00a0Daily News\u00a0<\/em>that the five electrophysiologists “were hired five years ago to build a nationally respected program in cardiac electrophysiology. Today, that program is the largest in the state and treats patients from throughout a multistate region.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
