Ohios new higher education law, Senate Bill One, has significantly impacted college students and faculty, banning diversity efforts, prohibiting faculty strikes, and regulating classroom discussions. The law, which went into effect in June, has led to a bleak atmosphere, with restrictions on speech and student expression. Ohio State University, for instance, banned chalking and mandated Ohio State-specific dorm decor. The law also sets rules for discussing controversial topics in classrooms, causing concerns among faculty about their ability to teach effectively. Diversity centers across Ohios public universities have closed due to the law, leaving students feeling their identities have been wiped off the building.
