Ohio Senate Bill 1 Continues to Reshape Higher Education, Leading to DEI Bans and Academic Program Cuts

One year after taking effect, Ohio Senate Bill 1 has significantly revamped public colleges and universities in the state. The law ended most diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work, stripped faculty members' right to strike, and led to the cutting of nearly 90 academic programs across the state, including 15 at Wright State University.
