OSU Denies Defaming Waters

Ohio State University is denying in court filings the defamation claims raised by former marching band director Jon Waters. The school is asking a judge to dismiss his 1 million dollar lawsuit. The university denies it escalated negative publicity about Waters through press releases, and says Waters engaged in a national public relations campaign. Waters' lawsuit claims the school has damaged his reputation to the point where he cannot find work. The suit also alleges slander and violations of privacy.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
