Unfairness

AFter that, they won't have much in the way of specifics. Because of that, their is no end to their plight. Without knowing what is really upsetting them they will just live the rest of their lives bitter, angry and sad.

Their sponsors should really fill them in on the details about the why of the matter. They'd be more effective in their debates.

This is the $1,000,000 question.

Missouri set a horrible precedent of pandering to these vague demands that don't really seem to have any evidence. It is fricking dangerous, and in my honest opinion, what these kids are doing is a form of domestic terrorism. It incites race violence and causes social divisions, it impedes progress by other students and the university, and it diverts attention away from people who have actual issues both at the university and elsewhere.

We demand complete, comprehensive and detailed access to the Ohio State budget and investments immediately, as well as personnel to aid students in understanding this information.

Updates to investments and/or the budget must be publicly stated, publicly available, and provide qualified personnel to aid in understanding these changes and make the information fully accessible to all students, faculty, and staff.

We demand the administration of the Ohio State University be responsive to community calls for justice, transparency and democratic process by meeting at least one of the previously established campaign demands below.

OSU Divest: Divest from Caterpillar Inc., Hewlett Packard and G4S due to their involvement in well-documented human rights abuses in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and across the globe.

United Students Against Sweatshops: Immediately cease all negotiations of the Comprehensive Energy Management Project. The university must maintain in-house operation of its energy systems, ensure that all workers in the energy systems will continue to work for the university, and ensure student led sustainability measures are implemented.

Real Food OSU: Sign the Real Food Campus Commitment. Ensure the administration work with Real Food OSU through the entire implementation of the Real Food Campus Commitment, in place of, or as a means of attaining, the university sustainability goal of increased “production and purchase of locally and sustainably sourced food to 40% by 2025.”

it's like Alfred says, "Some men (and fat girls) just want to see the world burn." They just want to protest and destroy anything and everything.

Ohio State University should do deep background checks on parents and students regarding their views on diversity

I couldn't even make it past that line.

WTF did Scruffy just read?

Ohio State University should do deep background checks on parents and students regarding their views on diversity to prevent sexual racism and other forms of heinous and unconscious racism from entering their institution. If you're going to be running an overwhelmingly white enterprise, (basically), you should make sure that the students who enter your institution are sensitive to inclusion. Doing background checks on students and parents, such as questionnaires, can help ensure that ethnic students will have an equal educational and social experience during their time here at Ohio State University. Someone should do a documentary on how racist some of the student body is here at Ohio State, let alone, sexually racist, and how sexual racial preference here is overwhelmingly a slap in the face to beautiful ethnic students. Sexual racism on campus is not the only issue OSU has institutionally enabled, but other forms of social racism on campus undermine Ohio State University.
