Sowle defends his actions in Ohio University protests
Ohio University President Claude R. Sowle defended his handling of last week's student demonstrations. He said meeting with authorities beforehand would have helped, insisted demonstrations are not a proper forum for discussion, and warned fee hikes could not be avoided without harming academics. He criticized funding gaps and noted upcoming faculty plans, while confirming questions over an injunction list.
