It looks like the ridiculous comments from Ohio State president Gordon Gee has led him to retire.
This from the Associated Press:
Ohio State University President Gordon Gee announced his retirement Tuesday after he came under fire for jokingly referring to “those damn Catholics” at Notre Dame and poking fun at the academic quality of other schools.
Ohio State initially called the remarks unacceptable and placed Gee on a “remediation plan” to improve his behavior.
Gee, 69, said in a statement he decided during a vacation last week that he would step down July 1.
“During my days away, I also spent some time in self-reflection,” Gee said. “And after much deliberation, I have decided it is now time for me to turn over the reins of leadership to allow the seeds that we have planted to grow. It is also time for me to re-energize and refocus myself.”
Shouldn’t have included Kentucky in those remarks old man.
