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.

Sergeant Kenneth Ramos

Kenneth Ramos grew up in Cleveland, OH. He is of Puerto Rican descent and grew up speaking English and Spanish. He talked to me about growing up being very proud of his culture and, in fact, he thought it was normal that everyone in his neighborhood spoke more than one language.  Kenny worked for the police force in Columbus, OH for many years and only recently, he retired. He has served his community in many ways, and has been in the position to advice and encourage new immigrants to learn the language and the culture of the place where they live.
