As a proud Division III athletic conference of the NCAA representing 10 Ohio schools with outstanding students, faculty, staff and alumni, we stand ready to continue, strengthen, and change, as necessary, our campus cultures to promote inclusion and equity.

Any act of discrimination and violence goes against the values of the OAC. The past few weeks have brought powerful reminders of the disparities in our society with the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the poor and communities of color and deeply disturbing violent incidents. These realities require us as Americans to come together, meet these issues head on, and work tirelessly to strive for a new and better tomorrow.

Join the OAC in standing up to injustice whenever and wherever it happens.
