Aware of what?


Information that would lead a reasonable person to believe sexual misconduct may have occurred involving someone covered under the policy, i.e., Zach Smith.

I'm only adamant that none of us knows what he knew.


I agree.

The 2015 contract is dead you dumb frick, only the 2018 contract applies

quote:

B. Location 1. This policy applies to alleged sexual misconduct that takes place on university property or at university sponsored events, regardless of their location. 2. This policy may also apply to alleged sexual misconduct that occur off-campus when the Title IX coordinator or deputy coordinator determines that the alleged off-campus conduct could reasonably create a hostile environment.


You're making my point, Section B, subsection 2 is NOT A REQUIRED DUTY, subsection 1 is "may also" words matter

quote:

I. Reporting Allegations of Sexual Misconduct A. A report can be made by any individual who is directly involved in, who observes, or who reasonably believes that sexual misconduct may have occurred. This includes allegations by third parties against any individual covered by this policy. Members of the university community have a duty to report such information; see Employee Duty to Report section above.


Not "shall be made" not a required duty

quote:

B. The following members of the university community have an additional obligation to report incidents of sexual harassment as well as sexual assault when they become aware of information that would lead a reasonable person to believe that sexual harassment may have occurred involving anyone covered under this policy. These individuals must report the incident within five work days of becoming aware of such information: 1. Any human resource professional (HRP); 2. Supervisor, including faculty supervisors and volunteer supervisors; 3. Chair/director; and 4. Faculty member.



Like Midnight stated, contracts generally are prospective not retroactive unless retroactive language is included, if the prior contract and its accompanying language still governed he would probably be in breach but that contract's dead so now the current contract governs and it explicitly prescribes what he must do in these situations

There's not even an indication that Urban knew anything close to that.

So, basically, you're taking speculation and filling in the blanks to support your argument.

Got it.

You're trying to tell me the policies and contract in place when it happened don't matter, but the contract in place now doesn't apply because it happened in 2015.

Think about that for a second.

That is determined by the Title IX officer, not Urban Meyer.

Read the sentence. A report can be made by any individual. Read the paragraph - members of the university community have a duty to report.

I'm explaining the reason why many of these posts are wrong. It is quite obvious that this entire thread is operating under the presumption Meyer knew.

I know you're just trying to be difficult.

Correct.

I think I've don't a pretty good job laying out what could be at play in this case. I don't know the facts of who knew what and when they knew it, but these are the policies that would govern.

You don't seem to have an issue with anyone who makes an assumption that Urban did nothing wrong.

Who is doing that? I've seen people say that he shouldn't be fired or that they don't have all the facts. How many have made the assumption that he did nothing wrong?

YES BC THAT OLD CONTRACT’S DEAD, if All this stuff came out in 2015 then yes he’d be in breach and then OSU could terminate him for cause it’s OSU’s fault they didn’t enforce policy. He signed a new contract that doesn’t apply retroactively, your theory won’t hold up in a court of law Bc it’s absurd. He didn’t violate anything under his new contract lol.

He didn't sign a new contract, he signed an addendum. That addendum replaces certain paragraphs and/or adds paragraphs to the 2012 contract, but his obligation to follow all university policies are still in place.

Contract Addendum

Many on this board.

Regardless, you also seem to have difficulty following conversations on this board. Many of the times you've replied to me have been part of a conversation I was having with someone else. I'm not going to repost a disclaimer that this all is based on the assumption that Urban knew about the allegations every time I reply. Sorry.

You’re making our point dumbfrick, this entire thread is about addressing the 2018 addendum regarding Title IX. Man if you’re a lawyer you’d be a disgrace to the profession with that bullshite.

Your assumptions don't change anything I've said.

Sorry.

I haven't chimed in on this or followed this very closely, but it seemed to me on its face an extremely strained interpretation of "Title IX" that something like this would apply to it.

Are you saying that if you hide something from your employer, they can't retroactively take action once they find out?

I still find it absurd everyone is going off of this Title IX and University Policy strictly. If the University has the evidence most believe they have, they have the grounds to fire Urban if they choose to do so.

Whether or not they will is their decision.

Additionally, the real key here is what we don't know. If the situation is better than it currently appears Urban is likely safe, if there is more of a cover up he's likely toast.

, so you contend that Urban had no Title IX obligations prior to the addendum in 2018?
