Dear OSU students,

As the U.S. presidential election approaches on Tuesday, Nov. 3, it is important to remember:

 

  • Regardless of political views, all OSU community members should continue to demonstrate respect for one another.
  • OSU encourages productive and respectful sharing of dissenting viewpoints. The university’s core values should guide constructive discourse with others.
  • OSU’s policies on Freedom of Expression help advance our commitment to inclusion and enable differences in opinion to be discussed openly and safely.
  • All students must adhere to the OSU student code of conduct and threats of physical violence or behavior by anyone that substantially disrupts university operations are prohibited.

If you are in need, OSU’s Election 2020 website provides various resources and programs for students. Meanwhile, OSU President F. King Alexander has asked faculty to recognize that students will experience many emotions following the election, and to provide appropriate flexibility with regard to assignments, exams, deadlines and other course requirements.

 

Let’s continue to support one another during this election period and unprecedented year. Remember, if you are registered to vote in the U.S., please participate in Tuesday’s election.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin A. Dougherty, Ed.D.

Associate Vice Provost & Dean of Students
