Ohio State Lima and Rhodes State streamline transfer process for social work

• Facebook profile — external
• Twitter profile — external
• Email profile — external
• LinkedIn profile — external

The Ohio State University at Lima and Rhodes State College have entered an articulation agreement to simplify the transfer process for students pursuing social work education.

Key highlights of the agreement include:

• Seamless Transition: Students completing Rhodes State's Addictions, Mental Health, and Social Work Assistant Associate of Applied Science Degree program can seamlessly transition to Ohio State's Bachelor of Science in Social Work program at Ohio State Lima upon meeting admission criteria. 
• Academic Excellence: Transfer students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale. 
• Personalized Support: Dedicated staff members from both institutions will be available to provide personalized support and guidance to transfer students. 

This partnership represents a significant step forward in enhancing the transfer experience for social work students and underscores the commitment of Ohio State Lima and Rhodes State College to support student success in social work education.

"Articulation agreements between two quality institutions can be a powerful tool for saving students time and money. This agreement between Rhodes State and Ohio State Lima ensures that courses from Rhodes State students will be accepted at Ohio State Lima, enabling our graduates the opportunity to pursue a bachelor’s degree in their chosen field of study. Dr. Young and I will continue to work together to pursue additional articulation agreements for our community, " said Dr. Cynthia E. Spiers, President of Rhodes State College.

The articulation agreement will open up yet another pipeline of qualified students seeking to become licensed social workers, a field which is in high demand across both Ohio and the United States. 

“This partnership is a unique opportunity for our two institutions to come together and address critical workforce shortages in our community,” said Dr. Margaret Young, interim dean and director at Ohio State Lima. “We anticipate this is only the first of these agreements that we will enter into. Dr. Spiers and I are committed to working together to support our students and the communities of northwest and west-central Ohio.”

'These are important hires': OSU president Carter on regional deans during campus visits

D uring a time of transition for most of Ohio State's regional campuses, new President Ted Carter said he is committed to ensuring the regional sites remain a vital part of the university system.

"I'll just say it very clearly. The regional campuses are here to stay," Carter said Wednesday in Mansfield when asked about the future of OSU regional campuses. "They are a part of our system. They are an important part and, again, if we are really going to fulfill our land grant mission dating all the way back to 1870, this is one of the most critical parts of our mission."

Carter visited the university's five regional campuses this week for the first time since he assumed his presidency.

Carter's Tour de Regional Campuses began at the Lima and Newark campuses Tuesday, followed by the Marion and Mansfield campuses on Wednesday.

"It's heartwarming to see what we're doing," Carter said Tuesday morning at the Lima campus.

Carter said he wanted to get to the regional campuses as soon as he could to see what life is like on each. He met with deans, staff, faculty and students at each of the campuses, including Ohio State University Lima students Kyria Knous and Ely Roa.

Knous, a third-year student studying social work, and Roa, a fourth-year biology major — both from Wapakoneta —said there are lots of opportunities at the regional campuses, but stigma can hold some students back from applying or attending.

"College wouldn't have been an option for me if not for the Lima campus," said Knous, who receives the full-tuition Arthur and Marian Rudd Scholarship.

"There's a stigma that Lima or regional campuses are not as good as Columbus," Roa added. "My experience shows that's not the case."

Both students said the smaller class sizes have allowed them to better network with their professors and peers, and they have some of the same extracurricular opportunities as Columbus campus students, such as studying abroad.

Knous plans to study abroad this summer in Argentina. Roa plans to graduate this spring and begin medical school at the Columbus campus this fall.

OSU regional campuses search for leaders

Carter's visits come as these regional campuses are in a moment of flux.

Four of Ohio State's five regional campuses — Lima , Mansfield , Marion and Newark — are hiring for their next permanent leaders. The Wooster campus is under the purview of the dean of Ohio State's College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, housed at the university's Columbus campus.

All four leadership searches began on July 19, 2023, and are being executed by Buffkin Baker, a Tennessee-based higher education executive search firm paid for by the university.

No interviews have yet taken place for any of the four dean positions. Carter said he's looking for leaders who are academics and who can draw both students and faculty to the campuses.

"We need all that talent here," he said. "We'll be careful. These are important hires."

Undergraduate enrollment has also taken double-digit hits at all five regional campuses since the pandemic.

Newark, the largest of Ohio State's regional campuses, enrolled 2,422 students in fall 2023 for the current school year, a 15.6% decrease from 2020. Lima saw the greatest hit to enrollment, down 24.7% during that same period. Enrollment at the Mansfield campus is down 16.6%, Marion is down 23.6% and Wooster is down 15.5%.

Enrollment did rebound a bit in fall 2023 at three of the regional campuses year-over-year, though, after a decade of decline.

Mansfield (2.5%), Newark (7%) and Wooster (3.6%) all saw a bump in their total enrollment in fall 2023 compared to fall 2022. But Marion and Lima saw fewer students, down 1.6% and 9.5% respectively.

Carter said regional campuses nationally and statewide have seen slowed student enrollment over the last 15 years.

When asked if he foresees making any big changes at the regional campuses, Carter said he's "going to make sure these campuses remain successful."

"We can't just let the environment determine our future," he said.

One person who feels positive about the future of the regional campuses is Newark campus Dean William MacDonald.

MacDonald, who will step down in June after 20 years in leadership at the campus, said Newark is "poised for a really strong future" thanks to its position near Columbus and the Intel microchip development site in Licking County.

Looking forward, MacDonald said he hopes future deans will prioritize focusing on student success at the regional campuses, from expanding housing and dining options to closing the graduation gap for all students.

"It will take time," he said. "But this remains a strong institution."

Mike Johnson Columbia University visit met with boos and heckling from protestors

House Speaker Mike Johnson arrived on the campus of Columbia University on Wednesday armed with a stern message for school administrators and protesters after days of anti-war demonstrations, arrests and campus closures at colleges across the country.

Johnson, R-La., described instances of antisemitism on college campuses, called for the resignation of the university president and warned that students perpetrating violence should be arrested.

His lecture was met with boos from nearby protesters and chants of “We can’t hear you!”

“Enjoy your free speech,” Johnson shot back.

In his remarks on campus, Johnson shamed students and faculty involved in the protests, as well as administrators for not doing enough to prevent them.

“It's detestable. As Columbia has allowed these lawless agitators and radicals to take over, the virus of antisemitism has spread across other campus,” Johnson told the crowd. “Anti-Israel encampments are popping up in universities all across this country. The madness has to stop.”

Students at Columbia University have pledged to continue protesting in an encampment they set up last week until the university agrees to a complete divestment from Israel. Protesters have demanded divestment from a student-exchange program and the university's campus in Tel Aviv.

The contentious protests led to the arrest and suspension of more than 100 students from Columbia University and Barnard College last week − including U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter, Isra Hirsi.

As Johnson finished, he turned things over to Republican Rep. Virgnia Foxx (R-NC), the Chair of the House Committee on Education, who said Columbia University is "in a free fall.”

“As Speaker of the House, I am committing today that the Congress will not be silent as Jewish students are expected to run for their lives and stay home from their classes hiding in fear,” Johnson said. “We have passed a number of statutes to address this matter and we call upon the U.S. Senate to act upon our legislation.” 

Some Columbia University leaders said they were open to negotiating with protesters, but students from a group called Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine said they are not currently interested.

In a statement Tuesday, the group alleged that university negotiators threatened to call the National Guard and NYPD if they "do not acquiesce to their demands."

In a campus update Tuesday, Shafik said the university is working to identify and discipline protesters who violated its policies against discrimination and harassment.

"The right to protest is essential and protected at Columbia, but harassment and discrimination is antithetical to our values and an affront to our commitment to be a community of mutual respect and kindness," Shafik said in the statement.

The protests have fueled an ongoing national debate about Jewish students' safety after a documented rise in antisemitism on college campuses following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel and Israel's military response .

"Amid anti-Israel protests, Jewish students at Columbia University don't feel safe," Johnson said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Let's be clear: these are not peaceful protests, these are antisemitic mobs."

According to a spokesperson from the Speaker’s office, Johnson wanted to speak to students at Columbia because he felt New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has not done enough to protect them.

“Hochul and other officials in New York have completely failed in their duty to protect Jewish students and combat the rise of antisemitism in their party,” Athina Lawson said in a statement. “We wish it weren’t necessary.”

House Republicans Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY), Mike Lawler (R-NY), and Nicole Mallotakis (R-NY) joined Johnson and Foxx at the campus Wednesday.

"Together, we're going to send a message that Shafik's failure to secure campus for her Jewish students is unacceptable. She MUST resign," D’Esposito said in a post ahead of their visit.

Their visit comes two days after House Democrats Dan Goldman (D-NY), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Kathy Manning (D-NC), and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) met with administrators and Jewish students on campus Monday.

April 24, 2024 - US university protests

"Tense interactions" and "physical struggles" erupt at UT-Austin campus amid pro-Palestinian protest

From Ashley Killough in Dallas

Texas State troopers in riot gear, including some on horseback, began breaking up a group of pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Texas at Austin shortly after a demonstration began Wednesday.

The Palestine Solidarity Committee in Austin organized the walkout and occupation on the school's South Lawn. According to an Instagram post announcing the event, students were encouraged to bring "blankets, food and water, face masks, and lots of energy."

Amelia Kimball, associate managing editor at The Daily Texan, told CNN there were no plans for an encampment like on other university campuses across the country.

Kimball said students gathered in a central area of campus and within minutes were ordered to disperse. Kimball said she's seen law enforcement form multiple blockades in the area to keep the crowd dispersed.

She also described "tense interactions" and "physical struggles between police and students." Some of those scenes, including an arrest, were captured by CNN affiliate KEYE.

"I don't think students were expecting this kind of a response," she said on CNN, saying some students have spread out while others remain in the crowd.

Kimball said she started noticing a large law enforcement presence earlier in the day before the protest began. 

CNN has reached out to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the University of Texas and Austin Police.  

USC says there is "significant activity" on campus amid protest

From CNN's Chandelis Duster

There is "significant activity" at the University of Southern California's University Park Campus due to a demonstration, according to an alert sent by the school on Wednesday.

"There may be difficulty accessing that area," according to the school.

Tuesday's protest on campus was peaceful this morning and protesters had set up tents, according to CNN's Nick Watt, who is on the scene.

Police seen pushing back protesters at University of Texas at Austin

From CNN's Christina Zdanowicz

Texas State Police were seen pushing back pro-Palestinian protesters on the University of Texas at Austin campus Wednesday afternoon, as witnessed by CNN affiliate KEYE.

Footage aired on CNN showed a chaotic scene, with what appeared to be shouts of “disperse” from law enforcement officers and a large crowd of student protesters shouting back. 

“There does seem to be some escalating levels of distress, and protesters are continuing to chant, and the police are forming multiple blockades to keep protesters from moving,” Amelia Kimball, associate managing editor at The Daily Texan, said on air with CNN. 

Secretary Buttigieg urges campus protesters to demonstrate "safely"

From CNN's Sam Fossum

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg reacted Wednesday to the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests that are taking place on university campuses across the country, calling for protesters to “safely” make their voices heard.

He also highlighted the importance of distinguishing between peaceful protests and harassment. 

“It is important when people are exercising those rights to free speech, to protest, to assembly, that they do so safely,” Buttigieg said on Fox News Wednesday afternoon, adding later: “We have to make a distinction between what is legitimate free speech, inquiry, protest, debate, ferociously contested ideas. That’s one thing. And of course, also a recognition of the pain that is driving so much of the passion around the issues in the Middle East.”  

Buttigieg also condemned any expressions of antisemitism or threats of physical violence or harm against Jewish students. 

“Any expression of antisemitism or hatred is unconscionable, it must be called out, it must be confronted. And that’s certainly what President Biden has done in unambiguous terms,” Buttigieg said, continuing: “Especially disturbing [is] the idea that a student would be targeted and harassed simply because they are Jewish, or simply because they look Jewish.”

Columbia student protesters say administrators made written commitment to not call in NYPD or National Guard

From John Towfighi and CNN's Matt Egan

Columbia University student protesters issued a statement on X Wednesday afternoon claiming that university administration provided a written commitment Tuesday night to not call in the New York Police Department or the National Guard to break up the encampments after students refused to stay at the negotiating table.

"The University's previous threats of an imminent sweep by the NYPD or the National Guard had severed negotiations. The administration's threats backfired when student negotiators refused to stay at the table," according to the statement.

Susan Ellingwood, assistant vice president of public affairs at Columbia, told CNN earlier Wednesday that “deploying the National Guard was never on the table.”

The students' statement was posted on behalf of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, the student group responsible for organizing the original encampment on the East Lawn. It has also been involved in organizing the West Lawn encampment and negotiating with Columbia's administration. 

"Columbia's reliance on the threat of state violence against peaceful protestors has created an unstable ground for the negotiations process which will continue over the next 48 hours. However, Columbia's written commitment and concession not to call the NYPD or the National Guard signifies an important victory for students," the statement continued.

Student protesters said they plan to hold a news briefing at 2:30 pm ET outside the university's Butler Library.

2 arrested during protest at Ohio State University on Tuesday

From CNN's Nicquel Ellis and Rebekah Riess

Two arrests were made during a pro-Palestinian protest on Ohio State University’s campus on Tuesday, according to a university spokesperson.

“When yesterday’s demonstration became disruptive to the students, faculty and staff in Meiling Hall, the university issued multiple warnings. When the disruptive activity continued, two individuals were arrested,” OSU spokesperson Benjamin Johnson said. “Ohio State has an unwavering commitment to freedom of speech and took this action in alignment with our space use rules to provide for the orderly conduct of university business.”

In a  message  to faculty and students on Monday, Ohio State University President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. said the university would “consistently enforce” its space rules, “which do not allow for intentional disruptions of university events, classes, exams or programming, including commencement.”

“When protected speech becomes incitement or threats of violence, Ohio State has and will always move quickly to enforce the law and university policy. I will not compromise on this,” the president wrote, noting that OSU would continue to have university police on site for student demonstrations.

Any violation of university policy will get a warning, but may be “cited, referred to Student Conduct and/or arrested” should they continue, Johnson told CNN.

When asked if OSU would consider the students’ demands for divestment from Israel, Johnson said state law “prohibits the university from divesting any interests in Israel and prohibits adopting or adhering to a policy that requires divestment from Israel or with persons or entities associated with it.”

President Biden not planning to visit Columbia protests

From CNN's MJ Lee

President Joe Biden will be in New York City Friday, but White House and campaign officials told CNN Wednesday there have been no internal discussions about him visiting Columbia University.

Some demonstrators say the Biden administration is complicit in the deaths of the many thousands of civilians in Gaza.

Groups of senior White House officials have traveled to cities with large Muslim and Arab populations in recent weeks to meet with local community leaders and hear their concerns – gatherings that have at times prompted calls for boycotts.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates said Tuesday that the White House was monitoring “closely” the protests on college campuses and that he takes seriously the conversations he has had with community leaders about the current “painful moment.”

Speaker Johnson says he will call on Columbia president to resign

From CNN's Haley Talbot

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will call on Columbia University President Nemat "Minouche" Shafik to resign when he joins Jewish students on campus Wednesday. 

“We'll be hosting a press conference there with some of my colleagues from the House Republicans from New York to call on the president of the university to resign. It's unconscionable. This President Shafik has shown to be a very weak leader. They cannot even guarantee the safety of Jewish students. They're expected to run for their lives and stay home from class,” he said on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Wednesday morning.

Johnson added that “what we're seeing on these college campuses across the country is disgusting and unacceptable.”

While at the university this afternoon, Johnson will have a meal with Jewish students before the event. He will be joined by New York Reps. Mike Lawler, Nicole Malliotakis and others in the New York Republican delegation. 

“We're relying on and calling upon and demanding these university officials to control of the situation, which is just completely out of control right now,” Johnson said. 

Johnson also proposed revoking federal funding and "student visas for these violent protests" in the wake of the unrest.

Columbia University says final exams must include a remote option

From CNN's John Towfighi

Columbia University notified students and faculty Wednesday morning that the hybrid model for classes will extend to final exams.

Provost Angela Olinto said in an email that all final course assessments, including exams, presentations and projects, "must include a remote option for students who have requested support for virtual assessment."

The move was made "in order to address the concerns of our members in an evolving campus environment" on the main Morningside Heights campus, Olinto said.

The university announced classes, which end Monday, would be hybrid for the remainder of the academic year. Final exams take place from May 3 to May 10. 

Olinto said that final assessments at Columbia's Medical Center and Manhattanville campus will continue as scheduled.
