University of Cincinnati announces closure of University Press as of June 30, 2025 

Following seven years of funding support, the University of Cincinnati (UC) has determined that the long-term financial sustainment of the University of Cincinnati Press is not feasible. Funding resources, including start-up funds, have been exhausted and the Press is not in a self-sustaining financial position. Therefore, the University of Cincinnati Press imprint will cease to operate June 30, 2025. 

As of July 1, 2025, scholarly in print and eBooks will be managed and distributed by University of Minnesota Press. In print regional books, including forthcoming books in the Thinking About Ohio Series, will be managed and published by Ohio University Press. All inventory and fulfillment services will continue to be managed by Chicago Distribution Center. The University of Cincinnati Libraries will continue to offer Library Publishing Services for UC faculty authors of open access books, journals and proceedings. 

Dean and University Librarian Liz Kiscaden said, “closure of the Press does not diminish its success or impact in innovative scholarly and regional book publishing.” The University of Cincinnati Press was founded in 2017 and reported to the dean of the University of Cincinnati Libraries. It is a member of the Association of University Presses, Library Publisher Coalition and the Open Educational Network. Since its opening, the Press has published over 40 books, 30% in open access, seven academic journals, won nine academic, national and regional book awards and published the UC undergraduate student showcase annually. It was committed to publishing rigorous, peer-reviewed, leading scholarship in print, eBook and open access under the governance of a faculty advisory board. 

An FAQ regarding details of the closure and availability of books as of July 1, 2025, will be available on the University of Cincinnati Press website.
