==== 1969–1970 Vietnam War protests ====
Throughout 1969, [[List of protests against the Vietnam War|anti-Vietnam War protest tensions]] grew on Ohio State's campus. What is now Bricker Hall was occupied by students, but after being told they had "five minutes to leave, or they'd be arrested", students departed from the building. In late April 1970, anti-war riots ensued on Ohio State campus, leading to nearly 300 arrests, over 60 injuries, and seven gunshot wounds.<ref>{{cite web |title=OSU turmoil of 1969-70 remembered by protesters and police |url=https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/education/campus/2017/10/05/osu-turmoil-1969-70-remembered/18519423007/ |website=The Columbus Dispatch |date=October 5, 2017 |access-date=June 11, 2024 |archive-date=July 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240719021651/https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/education/campus/2017/10/05/osu-turmoil-1969-70-remembered/18519423007/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Students began "boycotting classes with a student strike, protesting the university's rejection of a list of demands presented the week before. Specific demands included adding black and women's studies to the university's courses." On April 29, 1970, five days before the [[Kent State shootings]], students [[Picketing|picketed]] buildings, but this initially peaceful protest "started to spiral out of control" after [[Ohio State Highway Patrol]] troopers arrived in riot gear. When a man was assaulted by three students, tear gas was deployed, in response to which protesters threw rocks at the National Guard. Seven students were struck with a shotgun blast near the Student Union. There were no casualties, and the shooter was not identified.
