Five educators spoke Wednesday in support of a gigantic higher education overhaul bill that would, among other things, require tenure evaluations based on if the educator showed bias, and prohibit university staff and employees from striking.

“This legislation is badly needed,” said George Dent, a professor of emeritus law at Case Western Reserve University.“As is the case with many large omnibus bills, there are sections which we hope will be refined and improved during the amendment process, but overall, we enthusiastically commend this legislation’s visionary boldness at a time when American higher education is in urgent need of a course correction,” said Michael Poliakoff, president of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.
“Many opponents of Senate Bill 83 claim that it would diminish the willingness of potential faculty members to come to Ohio,” he said. “However the data show that the current situation certainly diminishes the ability of conservative faculty to come to Ohio, because they never would be offered a faculty position.”
“Creating a general education course ensures that they know something about the American founding, the constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Federalist Papers,” he said. “This is a requirement that fills a gap that has been opened wider and wider.” [Post-tenure review/subhed]To make a point during questioning, Cirino asked Akers a question about post-tenure review and mandatory performance reviews. SB 83 would require tenure evaluations based on if the educator showed bias or taught with bias, and the students would also evaluate.
