Good morning,
A developing story related to Ohio University has received widespread media attention recently and a student group on campus fanned the flames even further this week.
On Tuesday night, Ohio University’s Graduate Student Senate voted to remove former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes’ name from WOUB’s newsroom in the Radio-Television Center. Since then, The Washington Post, CNN Money, Talking Points Memo and other national news outlets have taken notice.
Ailes, an OU alumnus, became the newsroom’s namesake following a $500,000 donation to the university in 2007.
After 20-plus public allegations of sexual harassment, Ailes stepped down as CEO of Fox News this summer. Fox recently agreed to pay former Fox anchor Gretchen Carlson $20 million in the wake of the harassment revelation.
