Ohio University to close Pride Center, Women’s Center and Multicultural Center due to new law

  • Ohio University announced it will close its Division of Diversity, including the Pride Center, Women’s Center, and Multicultural Center by June 23, 2025, in Athens, Ohio.
  • The closures follow Senate Bill 1, a new higher education law signed by Gov. Mike DeWine on March 28, 2025, which bans diversity efforts and takes effect this summer.
  • The university will eliminate all positions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, allowing affected employees to apply for other roles or receive separation benefits.
  • Lori Stewart Gonzalez, president of Ohio University, indicated that staff members will remain in their positions for the upcoming weeks while encouraging the development of innovative solutions that address current needs.
  • These changes reflect a broader trend among Ohio colleges complying with the law, which also affects programs and classroom discussions and puts diversity scholarships at risk.
