Thanks for this piece, Matt and Owen.

I think it’s important to note that discussions surrounding which students are underrepresented on this campus and thus how those voices are valued/are not valued are not to be confused about how much we appreciate the enriching perspectives and needs of our outstanding international student population. In fact, we also often feel there could be more resources devoted to supporting those students particularly in a time where immigration makes it particularly unsafe for them to travel abroad for their education.

As always, these issues are nuanced and I think this article is helpful to start discussing the enrollment trends and how Ohio State plans to commit to bringing in and supporting students from a variety of backgrounds to make sure it’s representative of our population.
