Ohio Senate approves bill banning DEI programs in colleges
The Ohio Senate backed SB 1 to bar diversity equity and inclusion programs at public colleges and universities and strip certain faculty protections. The measure, approved 21-11, would require civics courses for all students, limit student trustees voting rights, and threaten state funding for noncompliant schools. Critics labeled it anti-union and anti free speech, while supporters say it protects intellectual diversity and addresses DEI perceived bias.
