The Ohio State University Marching Band (TBDBITL)

I get there was a culture in which sex was present; we're talking about teens and twenty somethings after all. I get that a female member of the band was assaulted by another band member, but it was at a PRIVATE party, not an official band function.

So where was the culture of silence? Does the band get a say as to whether this existed? Does it take only one mother filing to fire someone when a great many refute the charges.

Sounds an awful lot like a Star Chamber exercise. When's Akron coming to town, we need another kangaroo for the court.

As previously reported, Waters's firing had perhaps less to do with him directly than it did he was collateral damage in a broader University-wide Title IX compliance review, which was underway well before he was hired (and most importantly, not instituted because of a complaint).

Good point. From the resolution agreement, "The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), initiated this proactive compliance review of The Ohio State University (the University) on June 23, 2010".

I wonder where all they looked. OSU fired the cheerleader coach last year, I seem to recall. And the compliance officer left about the same time. My question would be where could you look in a modern state college where most students live away from home, and not find a great deal of "Highly sexualized" behavior? Glee clubs, theater, student government, The Lantern offices (I know, I was there), the language houses, the 200 some student organizations where like minded hope to mingle with someone with similar interests.

Were it not for highly sexualized Halloween and New Years eve parties, I wouldn't even know where Ohio St's and Ohio U's campuses are.

Here's the OSUMB Alumni Association's "retort":

http://tbdbitl.com/ICR/TBDBITL_Investigative_Committee_Report_9-12-14_11_AM.pdf

Our recommendations and conclusions are set forth in detail in Section XIII. Those include:
* a recommendation of immediate reinstatement of Jonathan Waters;
* a recommendation that a full fair and impartial independent investigation occur (unlimited by constraints imposed upon the Montgomery Task Force);

* the recommendation of independent oversight of the OSUMB,
* a demand that the administration immediately and publicly disavow and repudiate the Glaros Report in an effort to contain the continuing damage which has and will occur;

* a call for a public apology to the OSUMB family to allow healing to begin; and,
* a renewed call for an open and honest dialogue on all issues within the University family in an effort to appropriately move forward in accordance with the greatest traditions of The Ohio State University.
