Ohio is spending $24 million to create “intellectual diversity centers” at five public universities.
The centers are supposed to create spaces for debate and civil discussion, as well as prepare students to become citizens.
But opponents are concerned the centers will have the opposite effect.
We’re learning about these civic centers during this hour of All Sides.
Guests:
- Ohio Sen. Jerry Cirino, bill co-sponsor
- Pranav Jani, associate professor of English at Ohio State University/president of Ohio State’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors
- Lee Strang, executive director, Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society, Ohio State University
