SOUTH OVAL (WEST OF OHIO STATE STUDENT UNION)
1739 N. High St, Columbus, Ohio
(@ the intersection of W. 12th avenue and College Road. There are two parking garages adjacent to the union if needed.)
There are over 60,000 students at Ohio State University; yet a board of 17 trustees, each with heavy ties to large corporations, have a monopoly on the fate of our university.
There is only one graduate and one undergraduate trustee. Neither have a vote and are both appointed by the governor, rather than elected by respective student body populations.
Students, staff and faculty have no say over policies at OSU, like class size, parking privatization, and racist gentrification of Columbus communities.
It’s time to change that! It’s time to have a voice! Support student, staff and faculty suffrage now!
“No Tuition without Representation!”
An Appeal to OSU Staff & Faculty
There are over 40,000 employees at Ohio State University; each of them contributes to the continuation of this institution.
Without the faculty, there would be no instruction, no education and no institution. Ohio State would not function.
Yet the decision-making power at Ohio State lies in the hands of only 17 trustee members, all with heavy ties to corporations. These trustees get to decide on tuition increases, who will receive a job at Ohio State, and where our tuition and tax dollars go. They decide whether or not the Near East becomes gentrified or whether or not our parking lots become privatized.
Unlike students, faculty and staff don’t even have a non-voting trustee member to represent them on the board.
It’s time to re-imagine what Ohio State would be like if its governance structure accurately reflected its academic structure; if faculty, staff and students had voting power. It’s time to re-imagine OSU.
