Rise in Anti-Semitic Attacks Sparks Investigations and Community Response

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has directed the Ohio State Highway Patrol to increase patrols in and around Ohio State University's campus following two reported incidents targeting the Jewish community. The incidents included vandalism at the OSU Hillel building and the assault of two students. DeWine stated that hate has no place on college campuses or anywhere in Ohio, and he is committed to protecting all Ohio students. The university has denounced antisemitism, hatred, and violence, and investigations are ongoing to identify the perpetrators. Increased law enforcement presence aims to ensure the safety of students and the public in the area.
