Update, yes there are snipers:
Wonder what Neil Young is gonna say
Probably something like, "Young man look at my life. You're a lot like I was."
In case anyone wants to see the university's now removed claim these are not snipers here is the wayback link:

I don't buy it. Guarantee you they have a precision rifle up there.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a police man in possession of a good vantage, must be in want of a precision rifle

Here we go again.
If they’re actually snipers, they suck at their job.
Their "job" here is intimidating protestors....
They can't do that if they're not seen.
They aren't trying to hide. OSU has these guys out for every football game or large gathering.
I’ve seen this before, they intend to begin beating students soon and fear reprisal.
dude has his bipod deployed on top of his tripod, in possibly the least comfortable and most obvious position of all time, hoo lee, get this guy a medal or something we're sending our best to protect against the dangerous student body
Shocked they didn’t bring the tank
