1. Ohio State is currently on winter break.

So the news that the student in question was in attendance only through December 12 doesn't mean that he isn't enrolled for the spring semester.

Anyway, the person in question was never charged with a crime, as were most of the people who participated in the alleged gang rape and kidnapping of a sixteen year old girl in Steubenville, Ohio. And if the good folk of Steubenville have their way - including the prosecuting attorney, who happens to be the mother of one of the participants and owner of the home where one of the alleged gang rapes took place - most of the people involved never will be charged. Certainly not the prosecuting attorney's son. He's a star football player, after all.

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
