Family Advocate Award

Devout Quaker and former head of Reference and Instructional Services at Bromfield Library on Ohio State University's Mansfield campus, Scott Savage was accused of sexual harassment for recommending a conservative book ("The Marketing of Evil") to the required freshmen reading list, at Ohio State University.  After being condemned publicly by a unanimous faculty, Savage filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the school and faculty members.

Public Advocate commends Mr. Savage for defending his 1st and 14th Amendment rights.
