Jerry Cirino

Sen. Jerry Cirino (R-Kirtland) wrote to university presidents, telling them they should be prepared to explain the need for their capital budget projects, but they should also bring a summary of how they're spending their money.

Hundreds of peole spoke out or filed written testimony against the bill to make changes in higher education in Ohio. Its sponsor said some of their concerns will be addressed, but other provisions will remain.

Republican Senator Jerry Cirino said he introduced the bill because he thinks liberal bias in Ohio's public universities is out of hand.
