The Columbus Police Department should comply. Simply announce that they will no longer respond to emergency calls from Ohio State.

Ohio State students occupy student union, demand school cut ties with Columbus police
Several hundred Ohio State University students and community members demanded an end to the school’s contracts with Columbus Police by staging a sit-in at the Ohio Union followed by a march to the state Capitol.
According to The Lantern, the college’s student newspaper, the group is demanding that the university cut ties with Columbus Police. Speakers at the event reportedly criticized the police for not enforcing a statewide curfew and instead sledding with students one night in February, and for their response to a block party called “Chitt Fest” that spiraled into a riot, causing property destruction and flipping cars.
Check that. Several hundred. Now occupying = taking back = the Ohio Union. And making it a student union again. pic.twitter.com/YaKcg3WmdF

Dear Students:
No.

Yet, if the police completely disappeared, they would complain about that too.
What I’d like to see is one college or university that has the backbone to say “No”. Student demands are nice and all, but those demands come from people who are there to “learn” because they don’t know what they don’t know. They’d have better luck demanding lollipops than trying to dictate school policies they can’t even begin to understand.
What percentage of OSU students support this insanity?
Bet it’s a minority
“Speakers at the event reportedly criticized the police for not enforcing a statewide curfew and instead sledding with students one night in February”
So community outreach is racism too, or white privilege, or something.
Scratch a Marxist, find an ingrate.
