This week we discussed Ohio University’s decision to immediately suspend all activities of 15 fraternities within the Interfraternity Council due to a recent rush of hazing allegations, an incident involving a young black man who was arrested by Athens City Police Department officers in a way that some have characterized as excessive, and a forum held last week featuring candidates running for Athens City Council where they discussed issues such as housing reform and city policing.
