Ohio State University placed an assistant professor on administrative leave after video showed him tackling a documentarian who sought to question former president E. Gordon Gee on campus. The university said campus police are investigating and described the incident as "very concerning." The episode has raised questions about event security, protest management and faculty conduct. In a related policy shift, UNC system administrators approved rules allowing administrators to record faculty for any 'lawful purpose' while restricting student recordings. The policy and the Ohio State incident together sharpen debates over campus surveillance, free speech, and the boundaries of administrator authority.
