Ohio Governor Mike DeWine vetoed a provision in a budget bill that would have allowed Republican legislators to deny up to $75 million in funding to universities based on compliance with Senate Bill 1. Senate Bill 1 establishes rules for higher education, including post-tenure reviews, prohibits faculty strikes, and bans diversity, equity, and inclusion offices. DeWine justified the veto by asserting that the provision infringed on executive authority and lacked clarity on handling disagreements among committees. He noted that the Ohio Department of Higher Education was equipped to determine compliance and manage fund distribution.
Gov. Mike DeWine's veto of a budget provision prevents GOP legislators from withholding up to $75 million in funding to public universities over compliance with a new higher education law.
