Ohio Senate passes higher education bill

The Ohio Senate passed S.B. 1, a bill aimed at eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in public universities and banning faculty strikes, as introduced by State Senator Jerry Cirino.
Bobby McAlpine, the undergraduate student president of Ohio State University, stated that 78% of surveyed students feel free to express their political views, contradicting claims of anti-conservative bias.
Opponents of S.B. 1, including student governments and faculty, argue that the bill imposes undue restrictions on academic freedom and could harm educational quality.
Gabe Guidarini, president of the University of Dayton's College Republican Club, testified in favor of S.B. 1, claiming it is necessary to combat the politicization of higher education.
