Black Alumni Reunion put on hold due to Senate Bill 1

The Black Alumni Reunion at Ohio University was put on hold due to recent changes in Ohio legislation with the passing of Senate Bill 1. This bill removes DEI programs from public institutions, meaning OU can not hold the reunion anymore. Regardless, alumni and students say they are still coming together in Athens from April 10-13 to celebrate each other, they will just not do it through the university. President of OU, Lori Stewart Gonzalez wrote she is thankful for the Planning Committee's willingness to reimagine this event.
