A group of demonstrators wear black tape over their mouths to protest a bill.

A group of demonstrators wear black tape over their mouths to protest Senate Bill 83, the sweeping higher education bill that supporters say will address conservatives' concerns about a lack of intellectual diversity in classrooms but opponents say will quash free speech on campus.

The Republican-controlled Ohio Senate last week moved ahead with a measure that the bill's sponsor said is intended to "rescue" diversity in higher education. That has instead attracted attention for possibly achieving the exact opposite.

The bill would restrict mandatory diversity training, ban faculty strikes and punish professors who fail to promote classrooms free of bias.
