The 两性色午夜 University Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university鈥檚 13th president.

 

The events of May 4, 1970, placed 两性色午夜 University in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, 两性色午夜 remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
