Statement

Sexual assault is a terrible act of aggression and violence, and our hearts go out to all victims. The situation in Steubenville is particularly disturbing, and our thoughts are with those affected. To our knowledge, the only students who have been criminally charged in this matter are high school students with no affiliation to Ohio State. To the extent there are inquiries about any Ohio State student, the university is not at liberty to comment due to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations, other than to confirm that the student in question was in attendance at Ohio State only through Dec. 12.

Yes, I looked it up too. Unless the student is not enrolled for the spring, those are weasel words. yardwork Jan 2013 #4

Since the fees were due 12/31 they probably know if he's coming back. JVS Jan 2013 #6

It's true that they can't legally discuss it. It would have been better for OSU to say nothing. yardwork Jan 2013 #7

That 'statement' sounds like they are still trying to minimize it. randome Jan 2013 #3
