Ohio Governor Appoints New Trustees to State College Boards

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has appointed five new trustees to public college boards, marking some of his final higher education decisions before leaving office. These appointments, some for six-year terms, will influence institutional direction and policies. The new trustees will have expanded powers under Senate Bill 1, including oversight of faculty workloads, performance evaluations, and new policies on "intellectual diversity" and reduced diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work.
