Miami University provides a liberal arts education; it offers more than 120 undergraduate degree programs and over 70 graduate degree programs within its seven schools and colleges in architecture, business, engineering, humanities and the sciences.[11] It is a member of the University System of Ohio. Miami was one of the original eight Public Ivy schools, a group of publicly funded universities considered as providing a quality of education comparable to those of the Ivy League. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[12][13]

Miami University has a long tradition of Greek life; five social Greek-letter organizations were founded at the university, earning Miami the nickname "Mother of Fraternities". Today, approximately one-third of the undergraduate student population are members of the Greek community. Miami's athletic teams compete in the NCAA Division I and are collectively known as the Miami RedHawks. They compete in the Mid-American Conference in all varsity sports except ice hockey, which competes in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference.

History

Main article: History of Miami University

Old Miami (1809–1873)

edit
 
The original Harrison Hall, known as Old Main, was built in 1818 and housed Miami's first classrooms. It was replaced by a new structure in 1959.

The foundations for Miami University were first laid by an Act of Congress signed by President George Washington, stating an academy should be Northwest of the Ohio River in the Miami Valley.[14] The land was within the Symmes Purchase; Judge John Cleves Symmes, the land's owner, purchased it from the government with the stipulation that he set aside land for an academy.[15] Congress granted one township to be in the District of Cincinnati to the Ohio General Assembly for the purposes of building a college, two days after Ohio was granted statehood in 1803. The Ohio Legislature selected a township off Four Mile Creek for it.[15] The Legislature passed "An Act to Establish the Miami University" on February 2, 1809, and the state created a board of trustees.[15] The township originally granted to the university was known as College Township, and was renamed Oxford, Ohio, in 1810.[16]

The university temporarily halted construction due to the War of 1812.[15] Cincinnati tried—and failed—to move Miami to the city in 1822 and to divert its income to a Cincinnati college.[15] Miami created a grammar school in 1818 to teach frontier youth, but it was disbanded after five years.[15] Though financed by means of a government land grant, Miami University initially was inaugurated and operated by Presbyterians, with explicit legislative encouragement for religious education having been enshrined in the Northwest Ordinance.[17] Robert Hamilton Bishop, a Presbyterian minister and professor of history, was appointed to be the first President of Miami University in 1824, stating in his inaugural speech that all teaching at Miami University should be based in the Bible.[15][18]

The first day of classes at Miami was on November 1, 1824.[15] At its opening, there were 20 students and two faculty members in addition to Bishop.[15] The curriculum included Greek, Latin, algebra, geography, and Roman history; the university offered only a Bachelor of Arts. An "English Scientific Department" was started in 1825, which studied modern languages, applied mathematics, and political economy. It offered a certificate upon completion of coursework, not a diploma.[15] The school provided public prayers twice a day and required all students to partake in a public worship every Sunday.[19]

 
Satirical map of Miami University

Miami students purchased a printing press, and in 1827 published their first periodical, The Literary Focus. It promptly failed, but it laid the foundation for the weekly Literary Register. The Miami Student, founded in 1867, traces its foundation back to the Literary Register and claims to be the oldest college newspaper in the United States.[15] A theological department and a farmer's college were formed in 1829; the farmer's college was not an agricultural school, but a three-year education program for farm boys. William Holmes McGuffey joined the faculty in 1826, and began his work on the McGuffey Readers while in Oxford.[15] By 1834 the faculty had grown to seven professors and enrollment was at 234 students.[15] Eleven students were expelled in 1835, including one for firing a pistol at another student. McGuffey resigned and became president of Cincinnati College, where he urged parents not to send their children to Miami.[15]

Alpha Delta Phi opened its chapter at Miami in 1833, making it the first fraternity chapter west of the Allegheny Mountains. In 1839, Beta Theta Pi was created; it was the first fraternity formed at Miami.[15]

In 1839 Old Miami reached its enrollment peak, with 250 students from 13 states; only Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth were larger.[15] President Bishop was forced to resign by the board of trustees in 1840, due to the failure of his appeals for unity in face of the Old School–New School controversy, which had caused factions to rise against each other trying to take over the university's administration. Old School adherents won out by focussing on his anti-slavery beliefs, lenient disciplinary methods, and an agreement he had struck with the New School Lane Seminary, allowing students of both institutions to learn at the other. He was replaced as president by George Junkin, former President of Lafayette College, a strict Old School adherent with strong anti-Methodist and pro-slavery[20] views; Junkin resigned in 1844, having proved to be unpopular with students.[21][15] By 1847, enrollment had fallen to 137 students.

Students in 1848 participated in the "Snowball Rebellion". Defying the faculty's stance against fraternities, students packed Old Main, one of Miami's main classrooms and administrative buildings, with snow and reinforced the snow with chairs, benches and desks from the classroom.[15] Those who had participated in the rebellion were expelled from the school and Miami's student population was more than halved. By 1873, enrollment fell further to 87 students. The board of trustees closed the school in 1873, and leased the campus for a grammar school.[15] The period before its closing is referred to as "Old Miami."[15]

New Miami (1885–present)

edit
 
The "Beta Bells" of Miami University were built with funds donated by the Beta Theta Pi fraternity on its Centennial in 1939.

The university reopened in 1885, having paid all of its debts and repaired many of its buildings; there were 40 students in its first year. Enrollment remained under 100 students throughout the 1800s. Miami focused on aspects outside of the classics, including botany, physics, and geology departments.[15] With its reopening a change in religious policy occurred, the school no longer required faculty to be ordained Presbyterian ministers.[22] In 1888, Miami began inter-collegiate football play in a game against the University of Cincinnati.[15] By the early 1900s, the state of Ohio pledged regular financial support for Miami University. Enrollment reached 207 students in 1902. The Ohio General Assembly passed the Sesse Bill in 1902, which mandated coeducation for all Ohio public schools. Miami lacked the rooms to fit all of the students expected the next year, and Miami made an arrangement with Oxford College, a women's college in the town, to rent rooms. In the same year David McDill became Miami's first non-Presbyterian president, stressing its non-denominational, but Christian nature during his inauguration. By 1905 faculty personnel belonging to Presbyterian churches constituted 13 out of 27 positions, still a relative but no longer an absolute majority.[23]

In 1902, the Ohio legislature also authorized the establishment of the Ohio State Normal School "to provide proper theoretical and practical training for all students desiring to prepare themselves for the work of teaching." The normal school was Miami's first professional college and would evolve into the College of Education, Health, and Society. Miami's first African-American student, Nelly Craig, graduated from the Ohio State Normal School in 1905.[14] Hepburn Hall, built in 1905, was the first women's dorm at the college. By 1907, the enrollment at the university passed 700 students and women made up about a third of the student body.[15] Andrew Carnegie pledged $40,000 to help build a new library for the university.[15] The McGuffey Laboratory School opened in 1910 and was soon housed with the teacher preparation students in the new McGuffey Hall, completed in 1917 and named to honor former professor William Holmes McGuffey.

Enrollment in 1923 was at 1,500 students. In 1928, Miami founded the School of Business Administration and acquired the Oxford College for Women.[15] The next year, the School of Fine Arts was established. By the early 1930s, enrollment had reached 2,200 students. The conservative environment found on campus called for little change during the problems of the Great Depression, and only about 10 percent of students in the 1930s were on government subsidies.[15] During World War II, Miami changed its curriculum to include "war emergency courses" and a Navy Training School took up residence on campus. During wartime in 1943, the population of the university consisted of a majority of women.[15] Due to the G.I. Bill, enrollment at Miami jumped from 2,200 to 4,100 students. By 1952, the student body had grown to 5,000.[15]

 
The Western College was absorbed by Miami in 1974.

In 1954, Miami created a common curriculum for all students to complete to have a base for their other subjects. By 1964, enrollment reached nearly 15,000.[15] To accommodate the growing number of students, Miami University opened its first regional campuses at Middletown, Ohio, in 1966 and Hamilton, Ohio, in 1968.[15] Miami founded the Dolibois European Center in Luxembourg in 1968, which would move to Differdange Castle in 1997; it is home to a study abroad program where students live with Luxembourgish host families and study under Miami professors.[15]

On April 15, 1970, a student sit-in at Rowan Hall, home of Miami's Naval ROTC program, in opposition to the Vietnam War resulted in 176 students being arrested.[24] Edgar W. King Library was completed in 1972. In 1974, the Western College for Women in Oxford was sold to Miami, and President Phillip Shriver oversaw the creation of an interdisciplinary studies college known as the Western College Program.[15][25]

Responding to the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, trustees changed the athletic teams nickname from the "Redskins" to the "RedHawks" in 1997.[26] The School of Engineering and Applied Science was created in 1999.[26] In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring Miami University for its 200th anniversary.[27] In the same year, a new Farmer School of Business building was completed on the East Quad, and the Miami University Voice of America Learning Center opened in West Chester, Ohio.[28] In 2014, the Armstrong Student Center was completed to replace the Shriver Center, which was repurposed. All campuses were closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening partially that fall. Miami established the Honors College, its first residential college, the following year.[29] The Clinical Health Sciences and Wellness Facility opened in 2023 to combine clinical and academic health departments and services.[30] The McVey Data Science building opened in 2024, funded by alumnus Richard McVey to house departments in computer science, statistics and analytics.[31]

Campuses

Oxford

edit
 
The Tri-Delta Sundial and MacCracken Hall

Miami University's main campus is in Oxford, Ohio; the city is in the Miami Valley in southwestern Ohio about 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Cincinnati and 35 miles (56 km) southwest of Dayton. Oxford is a college town, with over 70% of the residents attending college or graduate school.[32]

Development of the campus began in 1818 with a multipurpose building called Franklin Hall; Elliott Hall, built in 1825, is Miami's oldest standing building and residence hall.[15][33] Miami is renowned for its campus beauty, having been called "The most beautiful campus that ever there was" by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Robert Frost, a friend of then Miami artist-in-residence Percy MacKaye. Miami's campus buildings are predominantly built in the style of Georgian Revival architecture, most of which are built "to human scale" at three stories or less. The area of Miami's Oxford campus consists of 2,138 acres (8 km2).[33][34]

There are four museums on campus, including the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum, William Holmes McGuffey Museum, and the Karl Limper Geology Museum.[35]

Academic buildings

edit
 
Alumni Hall was built in 1910 and funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

The original portion of campus starts at the intersection of South Campus Avenue and East High Street, where the Phi Delta Theta Gates lead into the slant walk path. In this area are the oldest academic buildings, including Hall Auditorium and McGuffey Hall, built in 1909, and Alumni Hall, built in 1910. Harrison Hall and King Library are also in this area. Going eastward along East Spring Street are Irvin Hall and Kreger Hall before the Armstrong Student Center, the largest building on campus. Surrounding Bishop Woods are Hughes Laboratories, Laws Hall, Shideler Hall, and Upham Hall.[36]

Buildings north of East High Street begin at the McVey Data Science Building on Tallawanda Road. Going eastward is the campus of the College of Engineering and Computing, which includes Benton Hall and Garland Hall/Engineering Building. Clustered around North Patterson Avenue are Pearson Hall, the Psychology Building, and the Farmer School of Business.[36] The Farmer School of Business is housed in a 210,000-square-foot (20,000 m2) building designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects of New York City and Moody Nolan of Columbus which was the first building on the Oxford campus to receive a LEED certification.[37]

There are four streets south of East Spring Street with academic buildings. On South Campus Avenue is the Clinical Health Sciences and Wellness Facility. On Oak Street are Williams Hall and Phillips Hall; in between Spring and Maple Street is McMillan Hall; and between Maple and South Patterson Avenue are the Shriver Center, Hiestand Hall and Art Building, and the Center for Performing Arts. Also along Patterson Avenue is Bachelor Hall before the entrance to Western Campus, which includes Boyd Hall, Hoyt Hall, Peabody Hall, and Presser Hall.[36]

The John E. Dolibois European Center in Differdange, Luxembourg, serves as a study abroad campus for students and houses about 125 students per semester. It offers continuing classes pertaining to students' studies, typically in architecture, business, French, German, history, and political science.[41] Students live in homestays with Luxembourgish host families and are encouraged to travel in Europe through university-led study programs and in their free time.[42] It was established in 1968 and named after Miami alumnus John E. Dolibois, former United States Ambassador to Luxembourg.[43]

Regional campuses

edit

Miami University has three satellite campuses. Miami University Middletown, located in Middletown, Ohio, was founded in 1966 as Ohio's first regional campus.[44] Miami University Hamilton, located in Hamilton, Ohio, was established in 1968, and the Miami University Voice of America Learning Center, located in West Chester, Ohio, was established in 2009 to house the Farmer School of Business MBA program.[45]

Miami's regional campuses are non-residential and offer a handful of bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, one certificate program, as well as beginning course work for most four-year degrees, and the MBA and MEd programs at Oxford. Combined, Miami's regional campuses enroll 4,664 students.[11] Middletown and Hamilton compete in independent sports as members of the Ohio Regional Campus Conference, competing under the monikers "Middletown ThunderHawks" and "Hamilton Harriers".

Organization and administration

edit
 
Roudebush Hall

Miami University has seven primary academic divisions, which include five undergraduate colleges in addition to a residential honors college:

  • College of Arts and Science
  • Farmer School of Business
  • College of Creative Arts
  • College of Education, Health, and Society
  • College of Engineering and Computing
  • Graduate School
  • College of Liberal Arts and Applied Science (Miami Regionals)

As a public university, Miami is part of the University System of Ohio. It is governed by a board of trustees which oversees the administration of the university and holds subcommittees on investment, finance and audit, and academic and student affairs.[46] This includes oversight on programs offered by the university and financial expenditures. The board has 17 members, nine of which are voting members appointed by the governor of Ohio. Six are university alumni who reside outside of Ohio, while the remaining two are enrolled students of the university.[47]

The office of the president manages Miami University's fiscal and business operations, supporting the academic and research missions across all campuses. The office works with the board of trustees to set the vision, direction, and priorities of the university, in addition to serving as a university figurehead and liaison.[48] The 22nd and current president is Dr. Gregory P. Crawford, who entered the role in 2016. Crawford previously served as vice president and associate provost at the University of Notre Dame.[49]

Other administrative departments include that of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, which includes the deans of each of the eight academic colleges and the Dolibois European Center.[50] The Senior Vice President for Finance and Business Services and Treasurer's department oversees university finances, procurement, and audits.[50] The office of the Vice President for Student Life, Senior Vice President for University Advancement, Vice President for Information Technology, and Senior Vice President for Enrollment Management round out the university's administrative faculty.[50]

As of the end of fiscal year 2023, Miami University's financial endowment was $739 million.[2]

Academics

edit
 
Farmer School of Business

Miami University is a large, primarily residential teaching university with a focus on undergraduate studies.[51] The university offers more than 100 majors,[52] 48 minors,[53] and 11 co-majors. In the 2022–2023 academic year, the most popular majors were finance, marketing, psychology, computer science, and biology.[54]

Miami offers master's degrees in more than 50 areas of study and doctoral degrees in 12, the largest of which are doctoral degrees in psychology. To enroll in graduate courses, students must first be accepted into the Graduate School, and then into the department through which the degree is offered.[55] Although tuition for the Graduate School is roughly the same as for an undergraduate degree, most of the graduate programs offer graduate assistantships as well as tuition waivers.

As of 2024, Miami's annual tuition was $18,162 for Ohio residents and $40,822 for out-of-state residents.[56] Its in-state tuition rate is the highest of all public universities within the University System of Ohio.[57]

For the 2017–18 academic year, Miami had over 600 registered student organizations. These clubs and organizations run the gamut from varsity sports clubs to professional fraternities, from political and religious groups to fashion, theatre and LGBTQ+ organizations. The university recognizes the Associated Student Government (ASG) that represents student interests to faculty, administrators, and the Ohio Legislature. It is the official student government of Miami University.[108] It has an executive branch chaired by the student body president with 13 members who work with administrators in all areas of student life as well as academics and a legislative branch made up of 50 senators who voice student concerns, write and vote on legislation on a weekly basis.[109]

The Miami University Marching Band is the largest student organization on campus, typically fielding around 250 to 275 students. It represents the college at all home football games, as well as at various away games, bowl games, parades, and marching band festivals.[110]

Mock trial

edit

Miami University participates in the American Mock Trial Association and has won two National Championship Tournament titles, with the most recent in 2018, where Miami beat Yale University in the final round.[111] The school has made 17 top-ten finishes. In the 2019 season, Miami sent two teams to the National Championship Tournament. Miami A earned twelve ballots in their division, just one ballot short of division champions Yale A.[112] Miami earned honorable mentions in 2021 and 2022.[113][114] In 2023, Miami failed to earn a bid to the NCT. This marked the end of the longest-running NCT streak in the American Mock Trial Association; Miami had not missed an NCT since at least 2005.[115]

Miami has sent two competitors to Trial by Combat, a one-on-one competition for outstanding AMTA competitors.[116]

Media organizations

edit

Miami has a variety of media outlets. The student-run newspaper, The Miami Student, claims to have been founded in 1826, which would make it the oldest university newspaper in the United States. However, the first issue is dated May 1867, and the paper refers to itself as "the oldest college newspaper west of the Alleghenies."[117] The Miami Student Magazine is a sister publication to the newspaper. The bi-annual publication includes feature writing and short stories. The undergraduate literature and art magazine, Inklings, is available in print and online.[118] RedHawk Radio (WMSR) is Miami's only student radio station.[119] Miami University Television (MUTV) is available on cable in Oxford, Ohio.[120] UP Magazine is Miami's student-run fashion magazine that publishes an issue each semester and also maintains a blog.[121]

Miami University Men's Glee Club

edit
 
The Miami University Men's Glee Club

Aside from the university's student newspaper, the university's oldest and longest-running academic student organization is the Miami University Men's Glee Club.[122] Founded in 1907 by professor Raymond H. Burke, composer of Miami's fight song and alma mater, the glee club is among the oldest and largest groups of its kind in the nation.[123] Its roughly 80 singers are selected by audition and perform on campus and around the world.

The Glee Club has performed with major symphony orchestras, among them the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Throughout its history, the Glee Club has worked with renowned composers, conductors and singers such as Morten Lauridsen, Martina Arroyo, Max Rudolf, Thomas Schippers, Paul Salamunovich, A.R. Rahman, and most recently Italian tenor Alessandro Brustenghi.[124][123][125] In 2014, the Glee Club performed a Memorial Day service at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, as part of its biannual international tour, and later won the First European Prize with Great Distinction at the Concours Europeen de Chant Choral 2014 (European Choir Competition).[126]

The Glee Club also hosts one men's a cappella singing group, The Cheezies.[127]

Residential life

edit

Miami University requires first and second-year students to live on campus.[128] Elliott and Stoddard Halls, built in 1828 and 1835 respectively, are used as dormitories.[129] They are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[130] The campus has a total of 46 residence halls, the newest of which opened in 2018.[131][132] The residence halls are organized into eight quads throughout campus.[133]

Residence halls have representatives that participate collectively in the Residence Hall Association and the student senate.[134]

Greek life

edit

Miami has a long tradition of Greek life, beginning in 1832 with the founding of the Miami chapter of Alpha Delta Phi.[135] Miami is nicknamed the Mother of Fraternities for the number of fraternities that started on its campus, including three known as the Miami Triad: Beta Theta Pi (1839), Phi Delta Theta (1848) Sigma Chi (1855). Other Greek organizations founded at Miami include Phi Kappa Tau (1906) and Delta Zeta (1902).[135]

As of the fall of 2017, there were 2,556 sorority members and 1,544 fraternity members.[136] Miami hosts about 50 different fraternities and sororities governed by three different student governing councils.[137] In 2004, Miami University's office of Greek affairs was endowed with a $1 million gift from alumnus Cliff Alexander, a member of Sigma Nu.[138]

In the 2017 fall semester, the Greek community recorded 11,847 service hours and raised $96,839 for philanthropic causes.[139] The university has suspended various chapters of Greek organizations for disorderly conduct, hazing, and alcohol violations.[140][141][142][143]

Traditions

edit
 
Turtles at the base of the Tri-Delta sundial

The university's student body has two notable superstitions. Stepping on the large copper replica of the university's seal by Upham Hall is believed to bring bad results for a student's exams; inversely, it is considered good luck to rub the heads of the copper turtles supporting the Delta Delta Delta sundial before exams.[144]

When two students meet at Miami, enter into a relationship, and then get married, they are called "Miami Mergers". Couples are encouraged to register with the university's alumni association, which has sent Miami Mergers an annual Valentine's Day card since 1973. In 2022, 14,406 Miami Merger couples received a Valentine's Day card from the association.[145] Another campus superstition is that couples who kiss under the arch of Upham Hall at midnight will become Miami Mergers.[144]

Green Beer Day is an unofficial day-long party near the Miami University campus where celebrants drink green-dyed beer on the Thursday before Miami's spring break. It was established in the early 1980s by local bar owners.[146][147] Green Beer Day has been called one of the university's "biggest traditions", although it is not sanctioned by the university, which has worked to combat binge drinking in preparation for the event.[148][149] [150]

Athletics

edit
Main article: Miami RedHawks
 
Yager Stadium is home to the Miami RedHawks football team

Miami's National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I sports teams are called the RedHawks; the program offers 18 varsity sports for men and women. They compete in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) in all varsity sports except ice hockey, which competes in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. Miami's athletic teams had several names before 1928, when Miami Publicity Director R.J. McGinnis coined the nickname "Redskins". In 1996, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, which works with the university on Native American relations,[151] withdrew its support for the nickname. The board of trustees voted to change the nickname to the RedHawks in 1997.[152][153] The current athletic director is David Sayler, who was hired to the position in December 2012.[154]

Miami is nicknamed the "Cradle of Coaches" for the coaches that have trained through the Miami RedHawks football program, including College Football Hall of Fame inductees Paul Brown, Carmen Cozza, Weeb Ewbank, Ara Parseghian, Earl Blaik, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, and Jim Tressel. Two former players, John Harbaugh and Sean McVay, coached their respective teams to victories in Super Bowl XLVII and Super Bowl LVI, with McVay becoming the youngest head coach to win the Super Bowl at age 36.[155] Former Miami quarterback Ben Roethlisberger became a two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Miami's football team plays in Yager Stadium; they formerly played in the now demolished Miami Field. The current head coach is Chuck Martin, who was named head coach on December 3, 2013. The RedHawks compete each year against the Cincinnati Bearcats for the Victory Bell, a tradition that dates back to 1888. The Battle of the Bricks is also played annually against the Ohio Bobcats. The RedHawks are 8–7 all-time in bowl games and have secured 23 conference titles as of the 2023 season.[156]

The Miami RedHawks men's basketball team has appeared in 17 NCAA basketball championship tournaments, reaching the Sweet Sixteen four times, most recently in 1999. Notable former student-athletes have included Randy Ayers, Ron Harper, Wally Szczerbiak, and Wayne Embry. The team competes in Millett Hall and is coached by Travis Steele.

Miami RedHawks men's ice hockey team started in 1978 coached by Steve Cady.[157] The RedHawks made the NCAA national title game in 2009, but lost in overtime to the Boston University Terriers after leading much of the game.[158] They have made 12 appearances in the NCAA tournament. The men's ice hockey team plays at the Goggin Ice Center as part of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference.

The Miami University Synchronized Skating Team team began in August 1977 as a "Precision Skating Club" at Goggin Ice Center.[159] The program achieved varsity status by 1996.[160] The Miami University senior synchronized skating team are the 1999, 2006, and 2009 U.S. national champions.[160][161][162] Miami won a silver medal at the 2007 World Championships, the first medal ever won by Team USA for synchronized skating.[163] The collegiate-level team has won 18 national titles; Miami created a junior-varsity level team beneath the senior level.[160]

At one time Miami had a competitive wrestling program, but eliminated the wrestling program, along with men's golf and tennis, in 1999 to better comply with Title IX regulations.[164] Several members of the cut teams sued the university president, athletic director, and board of trustees, alleging that the removal of the teams violated their Fourteenth Amendment and Title IX protections.[164] Enlisting the help of the Center for Individual Rights, the students took their case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, where a district judge denied their claims. The students appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, where two judges affirmed the district court's ruling.[164]
