Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Media Resources

Video Collections

The Middle East Studies Center produces edited videos from our events and publishes them on our Youtube Channel. You also may access footage from our events in our Knowledge Bank Community, along with instructional resources and other publications.  OSU faculty members can access our former VHS collection - now streaming onine - via the Secured Media Library, maintained by Media Services. The Library also has a collection of DVDs relevant to the Middle East curated by MESC.  Local teachers can access OSU Library materials by showing their employee ID from their school.
