AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The University of Akron is taking steps to filter out students who are not ready for college.

              
University trustees have approved a renewed effort to cut down on the number of students taking remedial course work that won't count toward a degree.

              
The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/12ZbbHJ ) reports that the students filtered out would be referred to area community colleges before being admitted to University of Akron.

              
The university started redirecting remedial students to community colleges last year.

MASON, Ohio (AP) — A southwest Ohio man avoided a possible life prison sentence when a judge acquitted him of raping a toddler.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/10IdqgG) reports that the investigation began when the girl told a psychologist about the abuse some two years after it allegedly occurred.

The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1735q2g) reports that a $2 inmate co-pay, mail-order drugs, requiring prisoners to buy their own aspirin, and other measures allowed the savings.

Lucky belonged to 71-year-old retired teacher Diana Schwab. They were riding together in Schwab's car on Interstate 70 near Columbus when a semi- tractor-trailer truck crashed into already backed-up traffic.

              
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Schwab and the driver of another car, 48-year-old Robin Jones, died.
