What a beautiful evening for our last literary picnic for the summer! Though the day started out dreary and rainy, the clouds cleared out in time for Dispatch sports columnist Bob Hunter to share from his book Chic. Buckeye fans from around the state heard the riveting story of how The Ohio State Football program began and had an opportunity to ask Bob questions. Here are some photos from the event:
In addition to being a published author, Bob also writes a sports column and blog for the Dispatch.
Chic: The untold story of a boy named Chic Harley who was integral in building the foundation for the Ohio Stadium and the OSU athletic program.
Check out all of those Buckeye fans who came to hear Bob!
After the reading and Q&A, the audience had an opportunity to get their copy of Chic signed.
I mentioned, back in 2006, the case of Scott Savage vs Ohio State University. Inside Higher Ed has a post about the results of Savage’s lawsuit against the university. Upshot, “a federal judge rejected a former librarian’s lawsuit against the university.” [pdf of decision]. Depending on how you lean in this case, this is either terrific or troubling news (or possibly both) but it’s been interesting to read various reporting about it to see how it’s represented. I think my favorite analysis occurs in a comment on the site.
The headline seems to be “conservative academic forced out for Christian views” ( the headline on Horowitz’s FrontPage, for example, is “Savage Injustice” ) but the story is nothing of the sort. As much as the right wants to depict our colleges and universities as dominated by leftists and radicals the truth is that complaints against Savage were dismissed, he was backed by his supervisors and his position was secure. The headline should have been “University protects conservative academic’s right to express Christian views” because those are the facts of the case, which have been known from the beginning and which have now been established by a court of law.
