WE ARE BUCKEYES

The Ohio State University curriculum is designed to engage the campus community in meaningful conversations and encourage the respectful exchange of ideas. You may actively agree or disagree with a point-of-view but please remember we are Buckeyes.  We hold ourselves to an intellectual decorum that supports dignity and politeness.  To quote former President Michael Drake:

<<We pride ourselves on being an inclusive, welcoming and ultimately safe place for people and ideas from all corners of our society and all around the world. It is in fact the collective sum of our experiences and backgrounds that makes us so strong.>>

Office of Diversity and Inclusion

<<Founded in 1970, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion is one of the oldest and most comprehensive offices of its kind in the nation, with a mission to help build Ohio State into a world class model of inclusive academic excellence.  With the changing face of the nation itself, the terms “diversity” and “inclusion” have expanded over time to include persons from a growing array of backgrounds, cultures, identities and experiences. Because diversity is dynamic, not static, the university will continue to reflect these changes, understanding that a diverse learning environment benefits everyone. >>
