'Fighting DEI will not be politically easy, as Cirino is finding out. But for the more than half a million students attending Ohio’s institutions of higher education, it’s worth it.' -Mike Gonzalez
designed to spare them instruction in the type of sordid thinking that sees all of life in terms of group power dynamics, cancels opposing views, preaches color consciousness, and discourages merit., or DEI, requirements from Ohio’s public university system. One of the nation’s largest systems, with 14 four-year research universities, 24 regional campuses, 23 community colleges, and 13 graduate schools, the system would be better off without DEI.Some Ohioans, of course, don’t see it that way.
But the key part of the bill regarding DEI prohibits “any mandatory programs or training courses regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This section deals mostly with banning compelled speech or requiring particular ideas as a condition of admission, hiring, or obtaining a degree. It also eliminates the practice of canceling conservative speech. It requires that an institution of higher learning “declare that its duty is to ensure that, within or outside the classroom, the institution shall not require, favor, disfavor, or prohibit speech or lawful assembly.”
