What we know about Ohio State’s anti-Israel protests
Ohio State students protests against Israel
Ohio State University became the latest site of student protests against Israel as hundreds of students, faculty and members of the Ohio Arab community rallied outside the student union.
It’s been a tumultuous week for Ohio State University and colleges around the nation as they grapple with a wave of student protests over schools’ investments in Israel.
Demonstrators across the nation are protesting the civilian toll in Gaza, where more than 34,000 people have died since the Israeli invasion that followed a Hamas-led attack that killed almost 1,200 people in Israel. Students oppose U.S. military aid to Israel and want their schools to stop investing endowment money in companies with Israeli links, USA Today reported.
Here’s what we know about student protests happening in Columbus.
36 arrested at anti-Israel protest Thursday night
Thirty-six people were arrested starting at 10:16 p.m. Thursday night as police surrounded the hundreds-strong protest on the Ohio Union in an effort to break it up. The protest started at 5 p.m. and went for nearly six hours before protestors began to dissipate.
No injuries were reported from the protests or arrests.
Three arrested, including student and faculty member, at anti-Israel protest Thursday afternoon
Earlier in the day Thursday, three people were arrested at a smaller pro-Palestine protest. One of those arrested was an Ohio State staff member, according to OSU spokesperson Ben Johnson.
Ohio State says it legally can’t divest from Israel
After Thursday’s protests, an OSU spokesperson said state law prevents the university from divesting from Israel. Here’s a rundown on the law and the history of divestment in Ohio.
What do OSU’s ‘space rules’ say about protesting?
Ohio State’s policies on the use of its public spaces prohibit overnight events, restrict noise at certain times, and require permission for demonstrations and setting up tents. It’s these policies that Thursday’s protesters are alleged to have violated.
Are university protests going to continue?
As Thursday night’s protest was broken up, protestors shouted at police that they would be back Friday. As of Friday afternoon, protesters had not returned to the Ohio Union, the site of Thursday’s protests.

More rain on the way in NE Ohio: See when you’ll need an umbrella

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Northeast Ohio finally picked up some much-needed rain to start the week, and more is on the way.
After a soggy Monday and start to Tuesday, conditions will improve through the afternoon. Clouds will linger, but most spots should stay dry with just a slight chance of a stray shower.
This should come as welcome news for the Guardians, who open a three-games series Tuesday night against the Tigers with first place in the AL Central and a possible trip to the postseason at stake.
The lull in precipitation will be short-lived as a new storm system lifts across the Great Lakes Wednesday and brings another round of widespread rain. Showers will spread back into the region during the morning and become steady through the afternoon, with a few thunderstorms possible, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
Rainfall totals from this midweek system could reach three-quarters of an inch to more than an inch across parts of Northeast Ohio, according to early projections. Localized higher amounts are possible where thunderstorms develop.
While they could bring higher rainfall totals, any storms that do develop aren’t expected to be severe, according to the Storm Prediction Center. The strongest risk for severe weather will stay well to the south.
Temperatures Wednesday will be limited to the low and mid 70s because of the cloud cover and rainfall. Lingering showers may hang on into Thursday, with highs again in the 70s.
By Friday and Friday night, high pressure will attempt to build in from the Upper Midwest. That should dry out most of Northeast Ohio, though an isolated shower can’t be ruled out.
Drier this weekend

Fortunately, the rain from the week won’t linger into the weekend for most of Northeast Ohio.
A cold front is expected to sweep across the state on Saturday, which could bring some showers to Lake and Ashtabula counties overnight.
By Sunday, the entire region is expected to be dry, though temperatures will turn a bit cooler. Highs on Saturday will reach the mid 70s to near 80 before highs fall back into the low to mid 70s on Sunday and Monday.

Ohio State leads, Texas A&M surges in US LBM Coaches Poll ranking after Week 3

US LBM Coaches Poll: Georgia looks strong, Clemson drops out
USA TODAY Sports’ Paul Myerberg breaks down Georgia’s comeback win over Tennessee and Clemson’s struggles to start the season
Another week of wild finishes and a few surprises shuffled the US LBM Coaches Poll. But once again, the changes didn’t reach the top.
The teams ranked No. 1 through No. 7 hold their positions, though some had an easier time this week than others. Ohio State remains in the top spot, receiving 62 of 67 first-place votes this week. Penn State stays at No. 2 with three No.-1 nods. No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 LSU claim a first-place vote each. Oregon, Miami (Fla.) and Texas also hold steady.
Illinois climbs a notch to No. 8, a season-high ranking for the Fighting Illini on the eve of a key Big Ten clash with No. 17 Indiana. Florida State vaults three places to No. 9. Texas A&M makes the week’s biggest move, climbing seven positions to No. 10 on the heels of its last-minute victory at Notre Dame.
TOP 25: Complete US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 3
The Fighting Irish, meanwhile, tumble from No. 8 to No. 21 as last season’s playoff runners-up are still seeking their first win of the campaign.
It was a rough weekend for the Palmetto State, as both Clemson and South Carolina went down to defeat. The Gamecocks, at least, stay in the poll at No. 24 after losing at home to Vanderbilt. The Commodores, thanks to that victory, make their season poll debut at No. 23.
Clemson falls out of the rankings after being handed its second loss of the young season by Georgia Tech, which also moves into the poll at No. 19. Also joining the rankings are No. 22 Missouri, after lurking just outside the Top 25 last week, and No. 25 Auburn, which edges out Brigham Young by just two poll points. South Florida and Arizona State also drop out.
