On Friday April 26, more than fifty Black Student Union (BSU) members entered the office of Gordon B. Carson, vice president of business and finance, and presented him with with a list of unresolved grievances.
When Carson was unable to produce any concrete answers to solve their problems, the students decided to stay until he could.
The seizure of Carson's office resulted from the inability of the Ohio State administrators to resolve grievances presented them in early February.
