Editorial: When students asked to be heard, OU answered with handcuffs
By The Post Editorial Board | Apr. 21There has been a common theme among student protesters on College Green this semester: silence from President Lori Stewart Gonzalez and her administration. Hundreds more students gathered on April 16 for a walkout demonstration titled “yOUr disrespect is visible.” The protest was intended to address what organizers described as administrative inaction amid ongoing concerns raised by students and faculty. By the end of the day, Ohio University had once again reinforced the message behind that title. The demonstration, organized by the Ohio Student Association alongside other campus organizations and student groups, was part of a broader campaign called “The Students Stand United.” Organizers described it as the culmination of advocacy efforts throughout the academic year and a direct response to what they see as a continued refusal from university leadership to engage with student voices.
