I do apologize for hurting anyone’s feelings but I will not apologize for what I wrote. It’s my opinion whether anyone agrees with it or not. Some of you have criticized the school I attended for less and I never shot back about it.

I do agree they have a few very good programs at OU including their school of Journalism, nursing and ceramics program. They also have a great MFA in acting.

I have 7 friends and one cousin who were parents to former OU students that transferred out of Athens because of the uncontrolled party atmosphere. All say basically the same story: too much alcohol and illegal drug activity, ignored sexual abuse, students that were out of control and that their classes started taking a back seat. Just to note that not all the students were part of the Greek system.

Is everyone at OU like this? No. But when one student said to me, “If I don’t transfer, I’ll end up in rehab or dead”, I realized that nothing has really changed since I was looking at colleges 40 years ago.

Keep reading the news. Some suspensions have been lifted or modified. However, more things keep crawling out of the woodwork for other groups.
