Ohio Governor's Office, Press Release

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement about antisemitic incidents at the Ohio State University.

"Two antisemitic incidents have occurred in the past 24 hours against Ohio State students. We will not tolerate hate and violence on our college campuses or anywhere in Ohio.  These are despicable acts, and as Governor, I will ensure that the State continues our efforts to protect all Ohio students.

"I have instructed the Ohio State Highway Patrol to coordinate with the Ohio State University Police Department and the Columbus Police Division of Police to provide extra patrols for the area around the OSU campus. These patrols will begin immediately  and will assist in ensuring the students and public in and around the university area safe."
