Beyond SB1: Moving Forward
[Below is a statement from our chapter president from March 28, 2025, on the passage of SB1.]
Ohio Republicans, hell-bent on destroying the legacy of the 1960s and 1970s movements for social justice, the legacy of the labor movement, and the legacy of all those who have fought for academic freedom and freedom of speech, have signed SB1 into law. We will fight the impact of this bill in every arena that we can, just as we fought it for more than two years. We know that we stand with thousands of educators, students, and parents, who are disgusted by this naked display of governmental repression of higher education. We are sad and angry today, but we are that much more dedicated to organizing, that much more dedicated to building upon the tremendous student-faculty solidarity we have seen in the past two years, as thousands have stood up against SB1 and SB83. SB1 is the reflection in Ohio of the authoritarian tendencies emerging from our federal government. We have a tough road in front of us. But the voice of the people is unstoppable -- as history has taught us again and again. Peace and solidarity, Dr. Pranav Jani President, AAUP-Ohio State |
