Greg R. Lawson, a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute, made remarks after the Ohio General Assembly passed Senate Bill 1, which is now awaiting approval from Governor Mike DeWine.
Lawson praised the new legislation, stating, "Ohio took a major step towards improving higher education in Ohio with the adoption of the policies in Ohio Senate Bill 1, and Senator Jerry Cirino deserves a round of applause for his tireless efforts and leadership on these critical reforms. If enacted, the reforms in Senate Bill 1 will better position Ohio’s public universities to teach students and equip them for success after graduation."
The bill represents a significant change in the approach to higher education, aiming to enhance the ability of public universities in Ohio to better prepare students for life after their studies. The next step is for Governor DeWine to review and potentially enact the bill.
