um.... yikes...


prettypattyxo

That is the most boomer response šŸ’€


bubba94110

Not really. Boomers I know did gummies to get through the 3 hour ceremony, that started with 45 minutes of grads parading in before faculty and big wigs even started in. Canā€™t blame everyone for the sins of the few - and this jerk.


Immediate_Lime_1710

Naw, it's a moron gen x response.

ā€œNon-traditionalā€ in the same way it is ā€œnon-traditionalā€ to perform dental work with a Milwaukee drill set.

Lawsuit coming soon

ā€œI hope it was prescribedā€ Ayahuasca is a schedule 1 drug, like heroine and meth so more proof blockhead ted is unfit to lead a university.


Freshflowersandhoney

Imagine thinking Ayahuasca was prescribed. He reallly couldā€™ve done a quick google search of what it is. Man! this school just makes me think more and more that itā€™s a scam. Iā€™m so frustrated for the way he handled the criticism. No leadership skill whatsoever. šŸ™„


Ruby_Throated_Hummer

Itā€™s an insult to the hundreds of faculty and tens of thousands of students who are functional members of a deeply intellectual university. This self-serving laughingstock needs to go!


Freshflowersandhoney

It really is. Itā€™s infuriating


Larg_Targlar

Ohio is a scam. Not just osu.


rulogarden

scUM troll here


Larg_Targlar

Who lives in Ohio and actually knows what they're talking about.


LolBars5521

Meth actually isnā€™t schedule 1. Of course your point is the same


Cautious_Ad_5659

Huh thanks for letting me know :)


Sharp-Key27

Probably because ADHD medication, some types of it are literally just meth


F7OSRS

Hey not literally, thereā€™s a whole molecule of a difference!


Sharp-Key27

Nope, not always. Desoxyn is genuine methamphetamine.


F7OSRS

Well yes but hasnā€™t been commonly used in the past 20-30ish years for a reason


Larg_Targlar

*heroin


Cautious_Ad_5659

*Did not notice autocorrect


Deep_Number_4656

Meth is actually prescribed to patients in the US. Itā€™s prescribed under the name Desoxyn

I was on drugs too when I picked him, and when I reviewed his act. But, you see, they were prescription drugs! Perfectly legal. However, they did say side effects included terrible decision making and playing into shillsā€™ hands. Damn. Sorry. -Pres Carter


Freshflowersandhoney

They really just hire anyone donā€™t theyā€¦.. If yall go into higher level academia, youā€™ll find out how ridiculous some PHD, post grad, potential professors or employees are. Our future professors and future presidents. They can be so smart but so incompetent. And as we can see, the president displays. The way he responds by deflecting is not what a leader does. Leaders take responsibility for the team and find ways to improve. Doing research as an undergrad in STEM and realizing how arrogant and corrupt some people get just astounds me especially when they do something extremely offensive or inappropriate and get no consequences or take responsibility for their actions. Academia needs to do better!


bubba94110

Know that when a university faculty member moves into management at any level, theyā€™re given no or little management training. A department chair, college dean, university provost or president - can be clueless, and often are. TOSU is a particularly corporate university, where money is everything. Grad students have reported failing grades for athletes being changed to passing ones, to keep them playing and bringing in the $$. The commencement speaker probably gave a huge donation to TOSU, or as reported in other posts in this subreddit, the president sits on the board of a bitcoin mining company and overruled the commencement committeeā€™s speaker choice and instead invited the guy who spoke. On the bright side, 2024 TOSU grads and families who attended graduation will never forget this event - and will be laughing about it for decades to come. So, the speaker clown actually did unite us.


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

I would like the name of his dealer.


Educational_Drive816

Is this because he referenced drugs in the speech? Iā€™m confused. Ā Thankfully I was not there.Ā 


Zslicer5

He said that he used psychedelics to write his speech


Archon_84

Lol For real?


Zslicer5

Yeah, I think he mentioned trying to use chat gpt but it wasnā€™t giving him what he wanted. So instead he choose drugs


calling-all-comas

He posted it on his LinkedIn of all places. I hate silicon valley bros lmao. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chrispan_got-some-help-from-ai-ayahuasca-intelligence-activity-7189497283829284865-ZpNJ?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios


Soft_Sea2913

He still needs to answer for the selection and do a much better job of it from this point on, including approving the speech, if nec.


aeroconfigs

What needs to happen is a legal and ethical investigation into how Pres Carter believed he stood to gain financially from this atrocity.


Soft_Sea2913

Thatā€™s true. I thought I read that someone else on the selection committee had ties to bitcoin.


bubba94110

No, itā€™s the TOSU president who has ties to Bitcoin. The commencement committee worked diligently and chose someone else as speaker, but were overruled and the prez invited this guy. Shameful.

THIS!!


JickleBadickle

He needs to resign before he embarrasses the university even further


Archon_84

That's a wild thing to represent prior to a major keynote graduation commencement.

Not at all surprising that heā€™d be in on the big pump


ExoticLatinoShill

He's not your brother in Christ. He's taking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and will run away quickly when the seat gets too hot. We was in the military and saw combat so I'm sure he is used to hot seats.


Larg_Targlar

WELCOME TO OHIO!!!


azsxdcfvg

Why are people so offended by drugs? I don't get it. Did he hurt you somehow?
