I am late getting to this because I was away yesterday, but I have to at least note Ohio University being so ashamed of its connection to former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes that it is taking a $500,000 hit so it can remove the alumnus' name from a newsroom at the campus.
Half a million dollars is a lot of shame to have associated with your name. Ailes always did do things in a big way.
If you didn't think Ailes had graduated to the realm of monster alongside the likes of Bill Cosby in the court of public opinion, the news that his name will no longer be on the WOUB newsroom should correct that.
"In recent weeks our campus community has been disrupted by the indirect impact of the Roger Ailes controversy," Roderick McDavis, Ohio University president, said in a statement. "Given the allegations against Mr. Ailes and the circumstances surrounding his departure from Fox News, I have decided that the most appropriate action is to return Mr. Ailes' gift and to remove his name from the WOUB newsroom. I have directed Facilities to begin the process of physically removing his name."
