COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State University officials have fired their band director after it was revealed students were routinely engaging in sexually charged antics more befitting a Rolling Stones tour than a university’s marching band program.

A two-month investigation by OSU officials revealed that Band Director Jon Waters was either oblivious or indifferent to the climate of sexual harassment that existed within the marching band, WBNS-10TV reports.

For example, veteran band members assigned sexual nicknames to rookie members, which witnesses say Waters began using, too.

“Witnesses also stated rookie members were assigned to perform ‘tricks’ upon command – some of which were sexual in nature,” WBNS-10TV reports. “However, Waters stated that he never witnessed nor heard of any of the tricks, and does not believe that such tricks are ‘performed on Band time.’”

Perhaps the most outrageous incident uncovered in the investigation was the band’s “Midnight Ramp” in which “band members perform the ramp entrance wearing only their underwear,” ElevenWarriors.com reports.

More than a few band members must’ve felt uncomfortable and demeaned by that experience.

Waters “oversaw the event, but ended the practice last month,” WBNS-TV10 adds.

There was also the matter of a “songbook” containing X-rated and misogynistic versions of school fight songs. Waters said he was aware of the songbook from his days as an OSU student, but had nothing to do with it as a staff member.

According to ElevenWarriors.com, the investigation also uncovered claims of alcohol poisoning – which led a staff member to resign after Waters refused to investigate the matter – and cases of student hazing in which first-year band members had “articles of clothing removed as they walked from the front of the bus to the back on road trips.”

Waters lamely “termed the culture and treatment of women in the band as ‘a work in progress,’” the news site adds.

Even though the marching band’s sexually charged culture existed before Water took control of the program, it was the director’s passivity toward the harassment that led OSU officials to fire him on Thursday.

A university press release notes that investigators “determined that Director Waters was aware or reasonably should have known about this culture but failed to eliminate it, prevent its recurrence and address its effects.”

“Nothing is more important than the safety of our students,” Ohio State University President Michael Drake said in the press release. “We expect every member of our community to live up to a common standard of decency and mutual respect and to adhere to university policies.”

It’s worth noting that the university only began its investigation after a parent complained. That suggests the people who pay a university’s bills – or who can afford an attorney – may have more power to push back against the nonsense and chaos that occurs in way too many “institutions of higher learning.”
