december 13 2023 central ohio revolutionary socialists suspension on december 13 2023 the central ohio revolutionary socialists cors a registered pro palestinian osu student organization was suspended from osu during which the club was prohibited from participating in or holding activities 11 according to university spokesperson dave isaacs this was due to several violations including disregarding university directives being non responsive to meeting requests from the organization s advisors and university leaders and dissemination of materials that include a logo associated with a designated terrorist organization the pflp the pflp is designated as a terrorist organization by many countries including the united states 84 but not by others including united kingdom 85 their poster titled intifada revolution and the path to a free palestine included a drawing of an armed pro palestinian militant which caused the university to claim cors posed a significant risk of substantial harm 11 9 10 in a public statement cors called the statements made by the lantern defamatory demanding that the osu administration retract and apologize for their article cors claimed that osu dropped the allegation they pose a significant risk of substantial harm after they quickly and easily dispelled the absurd notion that we are a front for or otherwise materially supporting the pflp cors also claimed osu misrepresented the charges in order to suspend them due to their political beliefs including using ignoring a generic getting to know you email sent during finals week as a pretense for claiming they ignored communications from the university by not making clear that an osu room reservation they made had expired and by selectively enforcing osu signage policy 9 on february 2 2024 cors was reinstated as a student organization under the condition they attend extra meetings with administration which cors claims was largely due to the hundreds of individuals and organizations who supported us 86 10 march 25 2024 undergraduate student government divestment scandal on march 25 2024 osu s undergraduate student government usg proposed an initiative titled urging osu to divest from

signature minimum needed to appear on the presidency ballot usg s judicial panel nullified this initiative 12 according to osu students for justice in palestine sjp co president jineen musa the signatures were deemed invalid due to the dissemination of the petition on instagram musa claimed other candidates who had used the exact same method to a greater extent than what we did were not penalized implying their initiative was targeted due to its pro palestinian content 12 sjp published screenshots obtained via a freedom of information act request of emails from 2015 between then senior vice president for student life javaune adams gaston and hillel international member joseph kohane 13 in the email kohane implores usg s judicial panel to veto a past usg divestment initiative by changing ballot signature policies saying we urge that usg and especially the judicial panel hold itself accountable and make the needed changes including reversing the signature threshold sjp argued the reason why osu deemed their signatures invalid in 2024 was in part due to continued influence from hillel against the osu administration as evidenced by hillel s interference with 2015 divestment ballot initiatives also targeting signature threshold policies 12 13 20 may 30 2025 expulsion of pro palestinian student influencer in may 2025 social media influencer and osu student guy
