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.

Ohio State works 24/7 to enhance campus safety, and you can help by taking individual and collective action to help promote a safer community. This new, online safety class teaches students through scenario-based exercises and engaging videos. Learn how to enhance your own safety from the comfort of your couch and on your own schedule. 

The one-hour, video-based class module is available in BuckeyeLearn and covers topics such as crime prevention, how to report a crime, responding to people on the street who aggressively ask for money, self-defense, mental health and more. 

Ohio State’s Task Force on Community Safety and Well-Being worked with students, faculty, law enforcement, mental health professionals and other key stakeholders to develop this new resource.
