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.

We at the Center were saddened to hear the news of the death of Christian Habicht at the age of 92. Prof. Habicht was a professor in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study and was a friend of the Center. He gave the inaugural address, “Athens in the Hellenistic Period 323-30 BC,” at the Center's opening in 1990. Our sympathies to Professor Habicht's family and friends. He will be missed.

The Insitute for Advanced Study published a memorial to Professor Habicht, where he was still an active member of the School.
