OSU Students Disappointed in Dispatch

In a Columbus Dispatch article on Saturday, higher-education reporter, Encarnacion Pyle got the facts wrong. At the very end of an article about an OSU board meeting, she inserted a mention of protesting students. She wrote...

"Trustees were greeted at their meeting at Longaberger Alumni House on Olentangy River Road by about 200 students and others. They were marching in memory of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot to death by a neighborhood-watch volunteer in a suburb of Orlando, Fla. Some believe that Martin, a black youth, was shot as a result of racial profiling; the man who shot him has said he acted in self-defense.

President E. Gordon Gee invited the group into the meeting, where they asked the trustees to require the university to send out hate-crime alerts and to increase the diversity of its students and faculty members."

Here's the real story.
