In this paper, we focus on how Black students matter, from their perspective, in
Ohio higher education. To better support Black students, policymakers, college
leaders, and organizers must understand what is happening on the ground
from students themselves. The words of the essayist and thinker, James
Baldwin, are pertinent here: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but
nothing can be changed until it is faced.” This Ohio Black Student Equity Report
is our contribution to ensuring that Ohioans face the state of racial (in)equity in
higher education as it relates to Black students.
This microsatellite dataset was constructed using eight microsatellite loci with 270 individual samples, representing wild population of Euonymus fortunei in Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, and Minnesota. Also represented are multiple individuals from several Euonymus cultivars and also wild E. alatus (burning bush) from Ohio. This database is published as Elam RJ and Culley TM (2023) Genetic Analysis of Invasive Spread of Euonymus fortunei (Wintercreeper), a Popular Ornamental Groundcover. Invasive Plant Science and Management.
This CSV file contains the topic distribution of each EIN as uncovered using six parallel Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) Topic Models.
Each row depicts a topic and topic-score associated with an Ohio NPO (identified by Employer Identification Number) generated from one model run.
The sum of topic scores possible for every row associated with an EIN therefore will not exceed 6.0 (6 models x 100%)
Topic scores below .01 (1%) are not included.
Each topic from the models is further identified as Essential/Non-Essential by subject matter expert, Dr. Michael Jones, guided by the official IRS definition.
The topic models are generated on unstructured text language from the mission statement and activities language taken from the 2019 tax forms of Ohio non-profit organizations.

Talk Title: Working with Agency Data to Better Understand Racial Disparities: The Case of Disproportionate Minority Contact with the Juvenile Justice System
This presentation is based on a recently-concluded study that sought to better understand patterns of disproportionate minority contact (DMC) in Ohio’s juvenile justice system. The project required extensive assessment and integration of record data that varied in their structures, availability of key fields, and operational definitions, which were collected or extracted from dozens of local juvenile court and police agencies across the state. Currently lead federally-funded research studies on juvenile risk and needs assessment and important reforms in Ohio’s juvenile justice systems.
Parallel Projections investigates two types of postindustrial site: the architectural and the agricultural; it conflates (projections of and into) spaces as means of making visceral our intellectual comprehension of the
relationships between materiality, surface, place and history. Parallel Projections is not meant for specific
places but for specific kinds of spaces: defunct industrial buildings, abandoned urban edifices, and mechanized
natural landscapes. The authors, living in places (Iowa and Ohio) that have both been radically altered by scalar
economic shifts, adapt alien (guest) project components to their native (host) contexts. Both types of spaces, host
and guest, as spaces of urban and rural abandonment, share surfaces that are compelling palimpsests. These
surfaces are encrusted with nearly-obliterated histories, emptied by changes in production methods and habits
of occupation and revealed by ghost texts. In opposition to the idea that these sites should be whitewashed and redrawn, the authors see them as grounds for new layers that can receive projections of phenomena from other postindustrial sites and as repositories for material evidence that deepens, rather than erases, the evidence of their
pasts.
