Anti-Israel student groups are very active at OSU, whose chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace recently co-hosted an initiative to shut down campus programs that sponsor free trips to Israel. Members of these groups vowed to monitor and record students who did not take part; vowed to impeach student senators who opposed the initiative; and openly threatened those who took, or were considering taking, the trips. Though a BDS motion failed twice to pass a student government vote, the effort to promote divestment from Israel continues. As part of that effort, activists engaged in an eight-hour "occupation" of the space outside the university president's office -- leaving the premises only after being threatened with expulsion and arrest. OSU was also the site of the November 28 car-ramming and mass stabbing attack, committed by a radical Muslim student, who was shot and killed by police. (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
