House GOP Moves to Block Student Access to the Ballot BoxColumbus—Ohio House Republi- cans have inserted aprovision in the state's biennial budget that requires universities to charge in-state tuition forany student who is issued a utility bill by theschool that can be used to establish residency for voting purposes. The GOP claims the language is meant to lower tuitioncosts in the state, but the amendment language creates a perverse incentive whereby schools would be forced to make a decision to deny access to a utility bill, thereby making it harder for their students to vote, or losemillions in funding. The Inter-University Council esti- mates that this would cost Ohio schools up to $370 million yearly. Sen.
