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.

Alternative text

Definition

Text that describes an image or other non-text content on a web page or document. Alternative text, often called alt text, can be identified by a screen reader to help blind or visually impaired readers understand the meaning of visual elements. As such, alt text is necessary to include for any visual that serves more than a decorative function.
