Ohio State seeks dismissal of fired band director defamation suit
Ohio State University asks the Ohio Court of Claims to throw out Jonathan Waters defamation claims after firing him amid a "sexualized culture" within The Best Damn Band in the Land. University lawyers say most findings concern the band's culture, not Waters, and Waters already acknowledged the band's culture conclusions were true. Waters’ attorney counters that OSU seeks to shield its handling of Title IX matters while Waters argues his reputation was tied to the band’s scandalous report.
