    Gene Smith admits he knew and that it was his responsibility, not Urban’s, to report the incident. Why’s he only getting a two week suspension? 

     Gene also admitted that he was the one that told Urban.  How do you reprimand an employee, if their superior tells them about the incident?

    Drake should be gone within a year or two.

    There are some quiet aftermarket pipes that look better, and they ate significantly lighter.  Put an aftermarket exhaust with an ECU rehash, and it really wakes up  the bike. 

    If you're ever on Columbus, you can also try my bike.  I have the old Guhl ECU reflash with a slip on pipe.   With the silencer insert, it is not loud. 

    Good luck on getting it sorted out.

    Where did you go? That is one boring ass trip. My mom lives up there.  Congratulations on your IB!

    We went to Karl's Cuisine.  It was pretty good.  I would go there again.

    I went in support of my brother and cousin, so they could qualify for IB.

    Nah, Ohio is an at will state. I can fire you because you spilled a beer on me.

    That is true, Ohio is an at will state.  Lawsuits for improper termination are not uncommon.   We have settled a couple of these at work, because we could settle it for less than the attorney fees to defend it.  It drives me crazy when we do it. 

    Too bad I didn't have two beers. :lol:

    Unfortunately, here’s Ohio State’s Title IX definition of domestic violence:

    From: http://titleix.osu.edu/sidebar-resources/what-is-title-ix/definitions.html

    It’s also in their sexual misconduct policy: https://hr.osu.edu/wp-content/uploads/policy115.pdf

    Title IX includes manadatory reporting per OSU's policy:

    That’s the issue at hand as I understand it. Urban told the media he knew nothing about the allegations until moments before a press conference. Now it’s coming to light he probably knew since his wife definitely did, and he probably didn’t report it. If he did, I sure hope he has a paper trail. 

    Title IX has grown in size and scope from its original purpose:

    Wasn’t Zach Smith fired because he got into trouble due to violating a protection order his wife/ex had against him? 

    In this case, Urban is in trouble with Title IX. If he knew of allegations against Zach Smith, he must say something. However, as I understand it, the police investigated and didn’t charge him. So now the question becomes if Urban did know, but also knew the police were involved, did he have an obligation to do anything? It still looks bad if he knew but told the media he didn’t. That makes it look like he’s hiding/covering something. 

    Either way, this isn’t sexually abusing children for decades. The Penn State and Michigan fans laughing and comparing this to Penn State on FB is repulsive. 

    Yes, he was fired for violating a protection order (which is a criminal offense).   Firing Smith before the the criminal action opens up potential liability for OSU and Meyer for improper termination. 

    Title IX was created to ensure gender equity.   It was not created for a governmental institution to control personal actions outside the scope of employment. 

    Let due process take its time.  Too many people are too quick to make hasty decisions.  There will be lots of currently unknown information coming out in the near future.

  24. Should I bitch at ODOT?

    I work for a contractor.   We work within  the ODOT & FHWA bureaucratic restraints.  The bureaucrats care way more about Indiana Bats, Fish spawning season on a small portion of a stream, or silt than they do for motorcyclist safety.  Sad,  but true.   Motorcyclists need to watch out for their own safety,  nobody else is.
