It continues to be disturbing that so many people remain willfully ignorant of actual facts. Those interviewed for the Glaros “report” have shouted that they have been misrepresented. There is no secrecy oath. There were no nude photo calendars. A lot of information has come to light since the afternoon of July 24th. I suggest that a few of you folks read that info.

Whether Jon Waters was an at-will employee or not is not relevant. The recently announced position is the first time it has ever been announced as a tenured position, though at least two of it’s previous occupants happened to be tenured professors (Paul Droste and Jon Woods.)

The point is that the information used to justify his firing, and months of subsequent slander and libel, was manipulated and/or fabricated. Almost all of those quoted in Chris Glaros “report” have publicly said “that’s not what I told you.” Hundreds of TBDBITL Alumni members have come forward to say that they do not recognize the organization described in that “report.” Betty Montogomery’s Task Force report is far more consistent with Jon’s defenders than with his detractors. If you read the survey results you will find that women of the band say that the band is the safest place on campus and in Columbus by a ~25-1 margin.

Every at-will employee of OSU should be watching. If OSU can make up stuff like they did to fire Jon, they can make up a story to fire you, too.

Jon Waters is standing up for the wrong done to thousands, with the very public support of thousands who don’t want others to know what it’s like to be unjustly accused.
