## Caption

Students, faculty and staff showed their disapproval of the university’s recent move to eliminate the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and Center for Belonging and Social Change with three on-campus demonstrations Friday.

What started as a small gathering of roughly 10 students sitting inside the Ohio Union turned into a group of about 70 marching across campus, protesting university President Ted Carter Jr.’s Thursday announcement about Ohio State’s removal of diversity, equity and inclusion programming within the university.

Starting at 8 a.m., between 10-15 students gathered for a sit-in outside the CBSC — located within the Ohio Union. They did schoolwork and talked amongst themselves, also placing handmade signs in support of DEI on the Union floor.

Demonstrators then walked to Hale Hall in order to write letters in support of ODI staff around noon, by which point the group had grown to roughly 80 people. Subsequently, they marched along the Oval’s paths, through Thompson Library, by the North Clocktower, on North High Street and back to the CBSC.
