The United Faculty of Central Ohio Technical College is in dispute with its institution over a collective bargaining agreement amidst Ohio's new higher education regulations under Senate Bill 1. Signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine, SB 1 limits labor rights, including banning strikes by faculty, altering post-tenure review processes, and mandating evaluations based on student feedback. This law exemplifies how new regulations, particularly in Republican-led states, are influencing the rights and contracts of faculty members across various colleges, potentially reshaping labor relations in higher education.
Union and college negotiators reached a tentative agreement in March for a new, three-year union contract, and the union members voted in April to approve that deal.
SB 1 allows 'immediate and for cause post-tenure review' for university faculty members, prohibits full-time faculty from striking, bans DEI offices, and mandates online posting of undergraduate course syllabi.
