Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Chalking Not Permitted on Campus

Chalking is not permitted on The Ohio State University campus and will be removed by Facilities Operations and Development, which reserves the right to charge for the cost of any repairs required due to removal. In addition, any students found to be responsible would be subject to potential conduct referral.

Information about chalking and signage is outlined in the University Signage Standards. This is a comprehensive system of building, pedestrian and vehicular wayfinding signage designed to create a consistent experience for information needed when physically navigating Ohio State campuses. 

Reports of chalking or other non-compliant signage can be directed via email to signage@osu.edu.
