University Suspends Nine Gender, Disability and Ethnicity Majors under New Ohio Law

This is how the University of Toledo is responding to SB 1's implementation

The University of Toledo is suspending nine undergraduate programs in response to a controversial new higher education law that is set to take effect this summer. 

Admission to Africana studies, Asian studies, data analytics, disability studies, Middle East studies, philosophy, religious studies, Spanish and women’s and gender studies programs has been suspended starting with the 2025-26 school year “in compliance with SB1,” according to a Monday news release from the university. 

Students currently enrolled in one of the programs can still complete their degree and all nine of these programs will remain available as minors.
