Remember Megan Marzec, the president of the Ohio University Student Senate? She’s the one who, in place of the ALS “ice bucket challenge,” did the “blood challenge” to protest Israel’s supposed treatment of the Palestinians.
She followed that up a few days later by confronting several pro-Israel speakers at a “Student Speakout.” For supposedly not following Student Senate rules, those speakers were arrested.
Now, some Ohio U. alumni want Marzec’s ouster:
Morgan Blumenfeld, a 2014 Ohio University graduate and former student president at Hillel, created the petition hosted on Change.org.
The petition aims to support current OU students in their request to remove Marzec from her position as Student Senate president, and has more than 600 signatures.
Blumenfeld said her goal is to have 1,000 signatures before the Student Senate meeting, Wednesday.
“When I saw what the students were currently doing to request for Megan’s resignation, I knew that I would definitely have been involved in their efforts if I was on campus,” Blumenfeld said. “I figured there was no reason why my voice as an alumni, as well as others who are opinionated on this topic, couldn’t have been expressed for our concerns for the university.”
Blumenfeld notes the petition isn’t to take issue with Marzec expressing her opinions, just the manner in which she did so in this case — “on behalf of Ohio University.”
