Senate bill would create ‘intellectual diversity’ centers at Ohio State and the University of Toledo
Republican sponsor says centers would be antidote to ‘predominantly liberal’ college faculty

A Senate bill is trying to create new centers at Ohio State University and the University of Toledo that expand and affirm “intellectual diversity.”

“There is a structural preponderance of one line of thought in our universities today,” Cirino said during a recent Senate Workforce and Higher Education Committee meeting. “One of the ways to change the structural preponderance of one line of thought is to set institutes like these up to assist our universities in moving forward with more intellectual diversity.”

He went on to say that university faculty are
predominantly liberal.

“This causes a single ideological perspective to dominate academia,” Cirino said. “With the passage of this legislation, we are giving students and their parents’ options within the market to choose an education that is best suited for them.”

“The number one issue right now is protecting our constitution from liberal interests that look to hijack our constitution,” Merrin asserted. “We can pass whatever bill we want in the House, in the Senate, but if we’re going to allow our constitution to be hijacked, it completely ruins all the work of the people’s representatives have done.”

Like helping get people to the polls, helping them vote , getting them cheaper meds , rail safety etc


The top priority on that faction’s list is raising the threshold needed for voters to amend the Ohio Constitution. They say this is to protect the laws legislators have made. The sponsor of the proposal in a December letter to House colleagues specifically pointed to protecting the state’s abortion ban and the constitution from further anti-gerrymandering reform.
