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.>>
