- General Information
- Up until 2023, OSU had a Diversity and Inclusion Committee that hosted regular events and programming for DEI topics and anti-racism. Following the Executive Order against DEI by Governor Stitt, in 2024 the school renamed the Office of Institutional Diversity to the Division of Access and Community Impact. OSU also had an optional Diversity and Inclusion Training Module, which has since been removed. The university’s diversity statement was also removed from the Student Union and OSU website. Diversity is still integrated into the core curriculum as a general education requirement. See developments below:
