Opponents speak out against Senate Bill 83, the massive Ohio higher ed bill that would require American history courses, tenure evaluations based on if the educator showed bias or taught with bias, and prohibit university staff and employees from striking
Concerned college students, worried university staff, and outraged advocates packed the Ohio Statehouse Wednesday to speak against a massive higher education bill that would significantly change college campuses.
SB 83 primarily affects public schools, but would mandate that private schools that want to use public funds sign paperwork saying they are following free speech guidelines. that was introduced by state Rep. Steve Demetriou, R-Bainbridge Twp., and state Rep. Josh Williams, R-Oregon, on April 6. “Professors will be unable to discuss important historical events and issues for fear of being perceived as biased or making students uncomfortable,” she said. “History is uncomfortable.”
“Young people will suffer because of SB 83, but we will recover,” Westlund said. “Ohio, however, will not.” SB 83 should be renamed the higher education destruction act, Pranav Jani, the president of Ohio State University’s chapter of American Association of University Professors , said during the press conference.
