, but the far-reaching bill would still make a huge impact on how students learn and professors teach at Ohio's public colleges and universities for years to come. The role of faculty, students, staff, administration and trustees in the shared governance of universities is"the hallmark of American higher education," according to the statement."Our faculty bring expertise to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge," it continued.
The bill also includes"unclear provisions that could introduce new barriers to student success," trustees said, and could hurt programs like scholarships that help low-income Ohio students get financial aid. SB 83 contains"ambiguous provisions that could cause administrative gridlock and First Amendment challenges," trustees said.
