OPINION: Ohio State has an antisemitism problem. It’s far from the only university that does, but while other public universities have embraced their Jewish community, Ohio State has left its approximately 3,000 Jewish students to fend for themselves. While Miami University’s president Gregory Crawford publicly lit the menorah for an on-campus Hanukkah celebration in December 2023, Ohio State’s president was nowhere to be seen at Chabad’s menorah lighting. It shouldn’t be that hard for the administration to show support. Over the last three months, Ohio State’s Jewish community has faced several incidents from vandalism of Ohio State’s Hillel building, menacing of the Alpha Epsilon Pi house — a Jewish fraternity unrecognized by Ohio State — calls for intifada in the Ohio Union and even physical assault on students. ————————————————————————————— 📸Patrick Fore | Unsplash
