Ohio State Vice President Jay Kasey paid the protesters a visit shortly after the occupation began, with a message from the president.
"Dr. Drake will never receive a list of demands and he will not negotiate with you," Kasey calmly informed the group before moving on to the next part of his conversation, which included the university's own list of demands.
"If you refuse to leave, then you will be charged with a student code of conduct violation," Kasey said. "If you are here at 5:00 a.m. we will clear the building and you will be arrested." He added, "We will give you the opportunity to go to jail for your beliefs."
"What do you mean by 'clear the building?'" one of the stunned students asked.
Kasey didn't mince words: "Our police officers will physically pick you up and take you to a paddy wagon," he answered. "The people who work in this building should be protected also."

Now that’s the kind of “council session” I like!
Slainte!
PING
LOL!
I like that the President sent the VICE president to handle it. No need to elevate their status by addressing them directly.
Good on the Vice President for his handling of it too!
Love it! Thanks for the ping.
LOL re the “paddy wagon”. This mick demands immediate access to a safe space.
Slainte, indeed.
This should have been the response when all of this garbage started back in the 60’s—Expel the student participants and arrest the non-student agitators for trespassing.
We wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now had the “establishment” at that time played hardball.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s nice to see some sanity on a college campus.
"How are we disruptive? We're peaceful protests."
Is she serious? The very purpose of a protest is to be disruptive.
A sample of real leadership discovered at Ohio State. It’s refreshing to see leadership now and then.

For a contrast for what REAL presidential leadership looks like, check out the press conference Ronald Reagan hosted regarding his position on the Air Traffic Controllers strike. (I don’t know if the link will work - sorry, I suck at this).
The contrast of Reagan VS. ANYBODY, with straight, logical, unambiguous, principled direction, is astonishing.
Compare to Missouri where they had a big decline in new enrollments this year.
Ohio Ping!

The spirit of S.I. Hayakawa lives!!
Bwahahahaha ! Awesome!
Thanks for the reminder of why I voted FOR Mr. Reagan ... twice ... and have not voted FOR a presidential candidate since.
I am so tired of snowflakes and primadonnas.
Funny...the very fact that they say that implies that they are special...now when the idiot students really feel special they’re going to round them up.
