Update: Missouri House Committee Passes "Intellectual Diversity" Bill

An initiative that would require the creation of institutional ombuds to protect intellectual diversity was approved by the Missouri House Higher Education Committee. The vote split the committee along party lines. Committee chairman Gayle Kingery (R) said the bill would be sent to the House Rules Committee for approval before the House votes on it.
