Two music professors will be the interim leaders of Ohio State University's marching band, with one focusing on compliance and student safety in the wake of the investigation that led to the director's firing. Ohio State's director of university bands, Russel Mikkelson, is now overseeing the marching band. The associate director of bands, Scott Jones, is responsible for student safety and Title IX compliance. A two-month OSU investigation concluded former director Jon Waters knew about but failed to stop a "sexualized culture" of rituals that included students marching in their underwear and performing sexually themed stunts to get explicit nicknames.
