Abstract	Beginning this past summer, all new employees at some Ohio public universities, including those accepting teaching positions, are being confronted with politically sensitive and intrusive questions. In addition to the "Have you solicited any individual for membership in an organization on the U.S. Department of State Terrorist Exclusion?" inquiry, a new teaching assistant, for example, at some of the public campuses is now required to disclaim several other types of potentially suspect affiliation or activity. The origin of this novel job requirement is Ohio's Patriot Act, which took effect in April with remarkably little fanfare. This article discusses the security-related provisions of Ohio's Patriot Act, particularly the license requirement and questionnaire for academic employment, and the implications of the said legislation on academic freedom of teachers and professors.
