Ohio State VP orders student demand group to vacate sit-in, threatens them with arrest

A sit-in at Ohio State University (OSU) has been cut short after the administration threatened to arrest or expel about 70 protesters who refused to leave Bricker Hall after repeated warnings.

The sit-in, organized by “ReclaimOSU,” began Wednesday in protest of OSU reportedly refusing to be “completely transparent” with where the university is investing its money. The group issued demands prior to the sit-in saying they wouldn’t leave Bricker Hall until the demands are met.

“We are occupying to show that we will not remain complacent while Ohio State continually represses its students, faculty, staff, and those affected by Ohio State’s investments,” the demand says, “We are here because these voices deserve to be heard and these demands deserve to be met. We are here because we are fighting for justice and nothing less.”
