Save Ohio Higher Ed

Save Ohio Higher Ed (SOHE) is a coalition of AAUP faculty and students in Ohio. We seek to protect higher education as a public, accessible, and equitable good.

A reminder that SB 83 is the worst attack on collective bargaining rights since SB 5 in 2011. Any lawmaker who supports SB 83 is emphatically anti-union. #StopSB83

We are SO grateful to Cynthia Peeples for her leadership at @Honesty4OhioEd. Her vision and guidance have been inspiring.

And we're excited to see the baton passed to Dr. Collins!

Welcome to the family, Dr Collins ❤️

Gayle Manning has accepted support from labor for years as a career politician. Last week, she betrayed working people and voted to strip away collective bargaining rights for public university employees. Gayle you failed us and we won’t forgive or forget.

[Ohio Conference AAUP @OHaaup]

Just a reminder that in response to the outpouring of opposition to SB 83 and the subsequent stalling of the bill in the House, the bill sponsor and other lawmakers THREATENED to make the bill WORSE. Imagine having that much contempt for the people you're supposed to represent.

[We Are Ohio @We_Are_Ohio]

Arrogance of Power! The House Higher Education Committee voted to hurt public employees at public universities by stripping away at their collective bargaining rights. It was a 3 MINUTE HEARING (watch the video). Sign our letter to oppose SB 83 here.

@We_Are_Ohio labor coalition not happy about the #GayleFail that occurred this week with @GayleManningOH turning her back on unions and fellow educators. Over 100 unions signed multiple letters to her opposing SB 83, and none of us will forget that she chose politics over people.

"SB 83 creates a narrative about Ohio universities that does not exist in reality. Students are being silenced, and our voices are constantly ignored! We must listen to the majority and #StopSB83"
-Maria Vitoria de Rezende Grisi, PhD student at The @OhioState University

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

"What we are witnessing in Florida is an intellectual reign of terror. There is a tremendous sense of dread, not just among faculty; it’s tangible among students & staff as well. People are intellectually & physically scared. We are being named an enemy of the State."

Important read. Faculty of all political persuasions oppose SB 83. It is a threat to academic freedom, quality education, and the union rights that protect them. #StopSB83

[Ohio Conference AAUP @OHaaup]

We've said it before and we'll say it again: Don't take our word for it. You only need to look to Florida to see where bills like SB 83 will leave Ohio higher education. #StopSB83

“The human toll in Florida is catastrophic.”

The @AAUP special report about political interference and academic freedom in Florida is out now. The sobering report traces the impact of state legislation on faculty and students alike.

The harm being done to students and faculty in Florida is terrible. This is what Cirino & Co want to bring to Ohio.

We do not believe that there is an immediate push for SB 83 to move to the House floor for a vote, but we urge you to use the link in the tweet below to contact Reps and urge them to reject SB 83.

[Rachel Coyle @RachelCoyleOhio]

UPDATE: @GayleManningOH has abandoned Ohio workers and students

Her yes vote just allowed SB 83 to pass committee

This not only places the future of Ohio colleges and universities at risk, it's also one of the worst attacks on workers' rights in over a decade

[How Things Work at the Ohio Statehouse @HowThingsWorkOH]

Thank you to all @OHHouseDems who voted NO on SB 83 in committee this morning

Special thanks to @JoeMiller4Ohio for demanding time to read Ohioans' testimonies & @RepWeinstein for passionately reminding his colleagues that SB 83 makes it hard to teach facts about the Holocaust

[AAUP-Ohio State @osuaaup]

Complete sham of a process.

#StopSB83

[How Things Work at the Ohio Statehouse @HowThingsWorkOH]

We're confident that most Republicans in the Ohio legislature realize how devastating SB 83 would be to our colleges/universities, our workforce, & our state's economic future

Thank you to Republican Reps Justin Pizzulli (R-Scioto Co) & Gail Pavliga (R-Portage Co) for voting NO

[Honesty For Ohio Education @Honesty4OhioEd]
