Complete·6/27/25

Ohio SB1 amends governance, tenure, and diversity policies for state institutions of higher education.

Ohio SB1 amends the governance of state universities by adjusting trustee terms and voting rights. It mandates that state institutions of higher education establish a course on American civic literacy and require students to complete it for a bachelor's degree. The bill also revises tenure policies, including post-tenure reviews and disciplinary actions for underperforming faculty. Additionally, it prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion training and mandates that institutions eliminate such requirements in scholarships.
