Your Turn: Herzog's pay gap opinion based on lack of experience
May 14, 2007In response to Ashley Herzog's May 7 column: I would like to thank Ms. Ashley Herzog for her article concerning the gender pay gap as it provides an excellent opportunity to shed some light on this important matter. I am not angry at the disdain Ms. Herzog has for those who believe in equal pay for equal work, but rather recognize her ignorance concerning the subject ' as I doubt highly that Ms. Herzog has ever had experience with not being paid what she was worth. Or perhaps she is simply a societal member of privilege, blessed with enough monetary wealth to secure her own financial future without feeling it necessary to acknowledge inequalities that do not apply to her own situation. We all are guilty of this at sometime or another.

Your Turn: Herzog's take on gender pay gap needs better research
May 14, 2007Like you, Miss Herzog, I often read editorials with the honest intention of not interfering with the author's views (though often erroneous and misguided). In fact, I did it again yesterday as I read your take on the crazy feminist gender pay gap theory. Alas, here I am responding once more.
Your Turn: Letter writer attacks person, not opinion
May 14, 2007In response to Monika Gasztonyi's letter dated May 10: Not only would I like to tell Ms. Gasztonyi that my interpretation was nothing of the sort, I would like to ask her which dictionary she is using.

Editorial: Black-and-white issue
May 14, 2007Is the criticism of Ohio University President Roderick McDavis the product of racism? Some members of OU's Caucus of Educators and Staff of African Descent think so. These McDavis supporters wrote a letter to the Board of Trustees responding to a previous letter critical of McDavis that a group of distinguished professors gave to the trustees. The caucus' letter condemns the distinguished faculty's letter for alleged inaccuracies and exaggerations. And it goes one step further, claiming the letter writers' disapproval of McDavis was motivated by racial bias.

Editorial: Players shouldn't pay
May 14, 2007Federal Hocking's school board will meet today to decide if it will implement pay-to-play for athletics next school year to reduce the district's projected $1.8 million debt. Officials proposed a $50 or $100 fee per student, which would generate about $12,500 or $25,000 for the schools next year. This meager sum wouldn't put a dent in the district's massive debt, yet it would likely prevent some students from participating in athletics.

Your Turn: Writer insensitive to soccer player
May 13, 2007I would like to know the meaning to your zone Jason Fazzone. I read your article (May 8, Intoxicated deaths spark as much anger as suffering). Yes you are right: you are insensitive. I hope you never have to walk in the shoes of any of the Ohio University teammates or Sarah's parents. You have no idea what Sarah is to this team as well as many others at OU, and for you to sit there in front of your computer and write an article like this is beyond me. I have always thought that when something tragic happens, something good should come from it. Instead of writing an article about your anger, you should write about learning a lesson from this. Not a day has gone by that I don't miss Sarah for who she is: for her huge smile, her laugh, for what she meant to her teammates, to the soccer parents and most of all to her grieving parents, sisters and family members.
