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.

Incident response protocol

The incident response manual is a program leader’s in-country guide to handling student incidents while leading their global education program. This provides a starting point to a variety of incidents, some of which may present emergency responses. The protocols for emergencies are dictated by the circumstances and context of the incident. Various steps and processes may change based on unique conditions, including but not limited to the student(s), type of emergency, program location, point of incident in itinerary or other factors. 

If an incident arises while abroad, resident directors should follow the protocols listed below and should also create an incident report.
