Being a Michigan Wolverine ...........I would have to say that two Buckeye professors are just a couple of fuzzy nuts!
Ohow-I-hate Ohio-State
Our tax dollars are being used to promote the homosexual agenda. Universities push this agenda and anyone who holds an opposing view is intimidated, harrassed and forced out.
Sounds like the professors prove the point, don’t they? No courses on irony at OSU, I guess.
If they could they'd burn him at the stake for being a heretic...
I remember reading about the case when it was taking place. There should be some ‘comeuppance’ for the jackasses who tried to ruin this guy. He should not have resigned. He should have documented the continued harassment and fixed their clocks already.
“forced to resign” needs some explanation.
I’m praying that Savage wins his suit, and that the libs at Ohio U. get their comeuppance.
This list is for intellectual discussion of articles and issues related to public education (including charter schools) from the preschool to university level. Items more appropriately placed on the “Naughty Teacher” list, “Another reason to Homeschool” list, or of a general public-school-bashing nature will not be pinged.

There is confusion here about which university this is.
This may be an academic-freedom instance in which the David Horowitz people at frontpagemagazine.com could perhaps be of assistance.
Scott Savage, who said he resigned because of personal and professional attacks on his character, asks for his job back and for OSU to be forced to change its sexual-harassment policies.
Scott Savage screwed the pooch big time by resigning. There are always a lot of things unsaid in an article like this, but the University dismissed the complaint as unfounded. If he was being harassed, he could have filed a counter claim within the University system. I fail to see how he can sue the University for his job back when he resigned.
For some reason, I suspect he was REALLY annoying, and when he quit there was a collective sigh of relief. After he quit, he found out what a good gig he had at the University, and how difficult it is to find a job as a librarian, as libraries are the buggy whip manufacturing industry of the internet age. With eight kids, he probably figured out that the complete insurance coverage, three weeks off at Christmas, five days off at Thanksgiving, a full week off during Spring Break, PLUS two weeks vacation, sick leave, and full retirement aren't that easy to come by, particularly when you quit your last job in a snit and can't get a recommendation.
Two rules of life I've learned the hard way: don't bite the hand that feeds you and get a new job before you quit your old one.
And this is how totalitarianism will look in the United States when it is finally takes hold in a big way. We’re not Stalinist or Maoist - no one’s going to be killed or hauled off the hinderlands for a slow death in a prison camp. The American totalitarians will simply take away your job, your reputation, your career... maybe your house, if they think it’s appropriate. I can even hear the quiet, studied response from the totalitarians when they’re interviewed: “He’s just not the right candidate for the position. He’ll be able to find work somewhere. He’s made some bad choices. Students deserve someone with better judgment.” Under the soft smile is the snarling subtext - we could have shot you, but we’re compassionate people.
Coming to your town soon, like a cancer, slowly establishing itself here and there, until one day you realize that the dull ache you’ve lived with for many years actually means you’re about to die.
