“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.” D. Patrick Moynihan

If you’re going to debate this issue I suggest you catch up on the latest news. The Glaros “report” has been shown to be an undocumented pack of fabrications. Please use the facts in teh neutral Montgomery Report acccurately (there are no horror stories about hazing in there.)

If you’re going to perpetuate lies about me, my sons and other dear friends of ours, we will contue to point out factual errors.

I am aware of three reported incidentsthat can be called “hazing” over the last 33 years. That’s 3 problems out of 7425 bandmember seasons (225 x 33.) Assume I have only heard about 10% of the actual events.that suggests that 0.4% of band members were hazed. That happens to be consistent with the survey results in the Montgomery report, around page 44 of the appendix, I believe..

The goal is zero, and the survey indicated that a) the staff and student leaders have no tolerance for this kind of behavior and b) women of the band were harassed 25x as often outside of band as inside. How does that support the conclusion that the OSUMB is less safe than the rest of campus and surrounding areas.

I’m beginning to think you are part of that PR firm OSU hired to coverup the mess they made. You’ve only read the parts that fit the OSU theory.
