Petition Calls For Waters To Return

Nearly 7,500 people have signed their name to an online petition, demanding the rehiring of Ohio State University's former band director.  

The petition at change.org launched three days ago in response to the firing of Jon Waters amid claims of a "sexualized culture" within the marching band.  Some OSU band members and alumni have rushed to his defense, claiming he's being made the scapegoat for decades of band traditions. 

Mike Foley joined WCBE in February 2000, coming from WUFT in Gainesville, Florida. Foley has worked in various roles, from producing news and feature stories to engineering Live From Studio A sessions. A series of music features Foley started in 2018 called Music Journeys has grown into a podcast and radio show. He also assists in developing other programs in WCBE's Podcast Experience. Foley hosts The Morning Mix, a weekday music show featuring emerging and established musicians, our Columbus-area and Ohio-based talent, and additional artists that inspire him.
