An Ohio state senator wrote a message in chalk Wednesday on Ohio State University’s campus, protesting the chalking ban the university announced last fall.
“Ohio State has a stupid policy,” Sen. Bill DeMora, a Democrat whose district includes the university, told Inside Higher Ed. He said he told the university ahead of time what he was going to do, and a vice president tried to dissuade him, but he went ahead anyway, writing, “Welcome back students! Go Bucks!” on a sidewalk in front of the Ohio Union.
DeMora said the university hasn’t taken any action against him, and can’t.
