June Double Feature!
SENATE BILL 1
ATTACKING OHIO STATE AND
OTHER PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES
IS NOW THE LAW
The"Advance Ohio Higher Education Act"
bans diversity initiatives at public universities, forbids faculty from striking, and gives politicians control over classroom content.
In spite of over 1500 testimonies opposing
S.B. 1, Representative Ty Mathews voted for it and Governor DeWine signed it into law.
Needing nearly 250,000 signatures
The Youngstown State University’s chapter of the Ohio Education Association attempted to place a referendum on the November ballot allowing Ohio voters the chance to decide if S.B. 1 should be the law.
Unfortunately, less than 195,000 signatures were gathered by the time the Act became law.
So there will be no referendum this year.
