"If you are attending or presenting your research at the upcoming SACNAS conference in Columbus at the end of October, please be aware that the university has informed me that we cannot reimburse conference registration or other expenses associated with your participation,"
"However, you are welcome to attend and/or present your work at the meeting."
The Trump administration's investigation into allegations of racial discrimination at Ohio State University prompted the university to limit its financial support for faculty and student participation in academic conferences affiliated with affinity groups. Critics characterize the action as overcompliance with Republican-led crackdowns on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. OSU already closed DEI offices, restricted decorations in public dorms, and banned most public land acknowledgments in response to federal and state actions. The university informed faculty and students that it could not reimburse expenses for the SACNAS conference and refunded certain graduate student registrations for a 2025 joint physics conference, provoking scholarly backlash.
