Ohio, shame! From the Ohio Capital Journal: “An Ohio state senator recently introduced a bill that would give the five Ohio ‘civics centers’ created last year by Republican lawmakers more autonomy at their various universities. Ohio Senate Bill 461 would give academic centers the “rights and privileges of an independent college of the university,” according to the bill’s language. Ohio state Sen. Jerry Cirino, R-Kirtland, introduced the bill, which would give the centers’ directors sole authority to hire faculty and staff and to determine their rank, salary, and tenure.”
