AAUP-OSU Statement on the Selection of Provost Ravi Ballamkonda as New Permanent OSU President

We are surprised and disappointed at the Board of Trustees' decision to choose a new permanent university president without even consulting faculty, staff, and students. Ohio State's system of shared governance - not to mention best practices in hiring university presidents - requires all of us having a say in the process. This hasty, undemocratic process starts this presidency on the wrong footing and sends the wrong message about our supposed shared values.

The speed and secretiveness of this selection follows a troubling pattern of institutional entitlement. The last few years at Ohio State under Ted Carter have been characterized by mass arrests, a chilling of free speech, allegations of covering up abuse, and now corruption. Why risk more public mistrust when OSU is already constantly in the news for the wrong reasons and there has been so much reputational harm? Now is the time to be more careful with decision-making and more accountable, not less.

In just the past two days, over 700 people-faculty, staff, students, alumni, as well as community members-signed our petition calling for a presidential search committee that reflects the democratic structure of the University Senate. That demand to be heard still stands. Going forward, we will continue to work to make sure that OSU faculty and others actually have a voice. This rushed process has given us no time to consider or discuss the merits of Provost Bellamkonda's elevation to the presidency, but we wish him well and hope for a successful presidency. If the new president wants to win the trust of the community, he should take immediate action to show that he represents a new era - repeal Ted Carter's anti-free speech policies, listen to abuse survivors, commit and to greater transparency and authentic shared governance going forward.

As the Ohio State University Board of Trustees meeting begins and makes the news official, here’s @osuaaup.bsky.social’s statement on the selection of Provost Ravi Ballamkonda as the new permanent president of OSU

Well that’s slightly better, I guess. Oof though. I’ve been so looking forward to this, and now I don’t know if I’ll be able to go.

My area is higher ed. What has been done to the Department of Education is a tragedy. Obviously for the direct services they provided to the public, but also for the data collection that drove research and policy. Even if some of this is restored, we’ve lost so much institutional knowledge.

Wasn’t this also when pellagra was a major issue in the rural south?

Why are legislators under the illusion that I don’t want to pay taxes?? I DO want to pay taxes - I just want everyone to pay their fair share and to actually, like, get something for it (other than war and overpolicing).

If Bruce Thornton averages 261 points per game over his next 5 games, he’ll break Kelsey Mitchell’s school scoring record in the same number of games as the Indiana Fever star.

Now that the Buckeye game is over, I’m entering my bliss state: an entire afternoon of women’s hoops where I have no stake in the outcome, while I play Pokopia and cats sleep in my lap.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Seems weird that they’d have them play such a late game and then have them have to have their shootaround so early. Do you know if anyone else has later shootarounds? If so, I might get mad on their behalf lol.

Personally, I think it’s lame when the same person wins POY and DPOY. But that’s definitely a personal opinion.

I was a senior in high school in Florida who had already decided to go to Ohio State. I very much remember that game.

The next day, people tied Florida gator balloons to my car.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!

-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

What happened in Kansas is *exactly* why you need to get rid of Newsom at the primary.

He will not protect trans people.
He will not protect homeless people.
He will not protect anyone.He considers outside of the cultural norm.

... that's Republican shit.

What we learned about Ohio State and Michigan in overtime thriller - The IX Basketball The Buckeyes and Wolverines needed 45 minutes to decide a winner Wednesday. Here is what we learned about the teams, heading into March.

The Buckeyes v Wolverines game Wednesday is up there as one of the best games of the season in the Big Ten.

I wrote about a few things each team took from that game as they head into March. Now on @theixsports.bsky.social

I worked at a Subway that was also a drive thru for some reason, which was hellish enough. We also were robbed at gunpoint several times, and there was a man who was stalking our female workers. I can’t even imagine also having a machine monitoring me to make sure I smile and say thank you.
