OSU may be trying to “do the right thing”, but there is a rule called “progressive discipline” (yes that evil word, but in this case it means your first infraction you get a reprimand, second you get a suspension, next time maybe a removal - and in extreme cases (murder? Gay slur?) you can get fired for a first offense). This band director was fairly new, maybe here 2 seasons? He allegedly was trying to clean up the mess. But OSU also has a new President, an Obama wannabe who wishes to flex his muscles and demonstrate that there is a new Sheriff in town.
This band director may never work at OSU again but he will get a huge settlement. Like basketball Coach Jim O’Brien due to OSU’s ham-handed handling of his case.
It is only money.
I don’t see your comment until after I posted mine. I see we have the same idea of what seems to motivate this new president.
