BART: Bias Assessment and Response Team Reporting. BART is a resource for anyone who needs to report an incident of bias or wants to explore and better understand issues like bias and discrimination, and how to effectively respond. BART receives, monitors, refers, and as necessary, coordinates university responses to hate and bias-related incidents that impact all or a significant portion of the university community. Incidents may involve bias or hate as a result of age, ancestry, color, disability, gender identity or expression, genetic information, HIV/AIDS status, military status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or veteran status. BART is not intended to replace or subordinate any existing processes for reporting and addressing acts of discrimination, harassment, or violence, including but not limited to, processes of the Office of Human Resources, Office of Institutional Equity, OSU Police, and Office of Student Conduct.

Buck-I-EAT. The Buck-I-Eat program was inspired by members of the CFFA service committee with a two-fold mission: 1.) to ensure that no buckeye goes hungry, and 2.) to promote healthy eating patterns. All students are eligible to participate (no application or appointment) at the self-service food pantry located at Student Success Services. The Buck-I-Eat food pantry is maintained by generous donations from employees and students of non-perishable food and personal hygiene items as well as monetary donations to the Buck-I-EAT development fund (315953).

VCA program. Over 2,000 military veterans and their family members are enrolled at Ohio State using their GI Bill education benefits as graduate and undergraduate students, but going from military life to student life can be a significant change. Many veterans face challenges that are far different from most traditional students. Through the Veteran Community Advocate (VCA) Program, many of Ohio State’s top veteran students are continuing their service to the university and their fellow veterans on campus. The VCA Program is a vital part of the effort to help connect fellow veterans to resources and experiences that will ensure our veteran students accomplish their new mission - academic and professional success.
