Earlier this summer, Brian Hicks, the former chief of staff to Governor Bob Taft, and a current member of the Board of Trustees at The Ohio State University was convicted for violating state ethics laws by failing to report gifts from Tom Noe, the central figure in the Coingate scandal that defrauded the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation. Hicks negotiated a plea deal that allowed him to avoid jail time despite his misdeeds. To learn more about the Hicks case, click here.
The Toledo Blade said it best in a July 31, 2005 editorial that stated, "The absence of jail time is a slap on the wrist for Brian Hicks but a slap on the face of all Ohioans." As proud Buckeyes, it is our duty to defend the rich history and traditions of The Ohio State University by speaking up and demonstrating that this kind of behavior from our leaders is unacceptable. It is time for Brian Hicks to step down from the Board of Trustees and lift the shadow of doubt he has cast over our University.
Here you will find additional information on this website about the Hicks' case and a way to register your voice for change. As a bi-partisan group of students, we realize that it is time to set aside partisan politics and join together to expect honest leadership at The Ohio State University.
With Buckeye Pride,
Nick Benson
Sign the petition! The Ohio State University Buckeyes need ALL OF you, even all you people from Michigan hehe.
Why should you care about the status of a member of the Ohio State Univeristy Board of Trustees? Because Coingate is a serious crime, and we are sick of all these purveyors of all that is unethical not getting the justice they deserve. Stand with the Students of The Ohio State University and demand accountability for all Americans
