Former Marching Band Director Says He Was Trying To Change The Culture

WCBE Files

Former Ohio State University marching band director Jon Waters claims cultural changes were underway before he was fired. Waters has written to university officials outlining several steps he says he took to eliminate several forms of hazing and the "sexualized culture" within the band.  A group of band alumni have launched an online petition to try to revoke Waters' firing last week, calling the school's probe a sham.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
