COLUMBUS, Ohio — In order to get the Ohio House to pass a controversial bill to overhaul the higher education system, the Republican bill sponsor has removed a provision that would prevent employees from being able to strike.
Senate Bill 83 would completely change the college system. This bill focuses on what some Republicans consider “free speech” by banning public universities in Ohio from having “bias” in the classroom and limiting what “controversial topics” can be taught.The bill also prevented all university employees from being able to strike, making it a fireable offense.After immense protest, Cirino changed it to just full-time faculty.
"I've been working with Chairman Young throughout the summer and up to now on some modifications," Cirino said."There are some changes that are going to be technical in nature that will bore you to death, but there will be a couple of other things that we're still working through... But I think we're down to the final two topics that need to get reconciled."
"I don't think it's ready to," the speaker said."There are still some things, I think, that needs to work itself through the process."
