❌ SB1
Enact Advance Ohio Higher Education Act
Summary
The bill enacts the Advance Ohio Higher Education Act, which amends various sections of the Revised Code related to the operation of state institutions of higher education. It requires the chancellor of higher education to develop educational programs for board members of state institutions and mandates that each institution make course syllabi publicly available. Additionally, it establishes guidelines for the governance and operation of state universities, including the appointment and terms of trustees.
Rationale
The bill introduces increased government oversight and regulation of higher education institutions, which conflicts with Libertarian principles advocating for minimal government intervention in education and free markets. However, it does include elements that promote transparency and accountability, which align with some Libertarian values.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over education
- Potential for bureaucratic inefficiencies
- Restrictions on institutional autonomy
