Overview

As part of the Ashland University Student Complaint Policy, if you have a concern you’d like to resolve regarding a process or a person at Ashland University that is not covered by any existing policies (e.g., grade appeals and academic grievance procedure), we are here to help.

Informal Resolution Procedure

We do recommend that you try to resolve your concern informally first; that is usually the most expedient way to address any issue. If a direct conversation isn’t possible or acceptable for you — for any reason — or if you have already attempted to talk about the problem and the results have been unsatisfactory, consider contacting the staff person’s supervisor or the faculty member’s department chair to discuss and resolve it.

Formal Resolution Procedure

We also offer you the option of filing a formal complaint. Use the Student Complaint Form to set forth, in writing, all of the following:

Student Complaint Form

Once you submit a complaint, here's what happens.

Level 1

Absent extraordinary circumstances, the person, normally a dean or director, to whom the complaint has been submitted, conducts, within seven business days of receiving the complaint, a formal conference with the student, permitting her or him to provide any necessary relevant information. The dean or director confers with the other person or persons involved and conducts an additional investigation as he or she deems necessary.

Absent extraordinary circumstances, the dean or director sends, within seven business days of the first formal conference, a written recommendation to the student and the other involved person or persons. This recommendation states the background information, the rationale for the recommendation and the recommended remedy, if any. Copies of the original complaint and the written recommendation are kept in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness for a minimum of five years.

Level 2

If the complaint is not satisfactorily resolved at the first level, the student or one of the other involved parties may, with fourteen business days of receipt of the level 1 recommendation, appeal to the direct supervisor of the person who wrote the recommendation. Absent extraordinary circumstances, the supervisor will review the case and render a decision to the student and/or other person(s) within fourteen business days of receipt of the appeal or complaint. In cases of appeals to level 2, copies of the original complaint and the level 1 and 2 written recommendations are kept in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness for a minimum of five years.

Level 3

Except in the case of a complaint against the president of the university, where the Board of Trustees has final authority, should you wish to appeal the level 2 recommendation, you must submit that appeal to the president within fourteen business days. The president makes the final decision. Absent extraordinary circumstances, the president's written decision is sent to the student and other parties within fourteen business days of receiving the level 3 appeal. In cases of appeals to level 3, copies of the original complaint, the previous written recommendations and the final decision are kept in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness for a minimum of five years.

A woman is in jail after taping a kindergarten student to a chair, the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department said Thursday.

Olivia Michelle Murray, a 25-year-old Columbia resident, was charged with cruelty to children, the sheriff’s department said in a news release. Murray is no longer employed by Lexington-Richland 5, a spokeswoman told The State.

The incident happened Wednesday at Seven Oaks Elementary School, where Murray worked as a teacher’s aide, according to the release. The Lexington-Richland 5 school is on Ashland Road, near the intersection with St. Andrews Road and about half a mile from Exit 106 on Interstate 26.

Murray used duct tape to confine the 4K student’s legs to a chair, Sheriff Jay Koon said. The incident happened while the teacher was out of the classroom, according to Koon.

“Murray told detectives the student had been moved to the back of the classroom for being disruptive and not listening,” Koon said in the release.

Information on the student’s condition was not available.

Murray was arrested at her home on Wednesday night and was taken to the Lexington County Detention Center, according to the release.

She remained behind bars Thursday, and no bond had been set at of 11:15 a.m., jail records show.

Lexington-Richland 5 said it works “hard to ensure a safe learning environment at our schools and work closely with law enforcement to make safety our top priority.”

The school district said it’s working with law enforcement in the ongoing investigation and had no further comment.

If convicted on the misdemeanor charge, Murray faces a maximum punishment of 30 days in jail, according to South Carolina law.

Has Oscar Gonzalez’s hot streak eased concerns of Guardians’ fans? Hey, Hoynsie!

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Do you have a question that you’d like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here. You can also subscribe to Subtext here or text Hoynsie at 216-208-4346 for a two-week free trial.

Hey, Hoynsie: I am worried about Oscar Gonzalez’s production this spring. What do you think? -- Mitch Radosky, Poulsbo, Wa.

Hey, Mitch: I think spring training is a bad place to make judgments on a player. Gonzalez is hitting .233 (10 for 43) through 15 games, but he had seven hits in a five-game stretch through Friday. Gonzalez hit his first homer of the spring Thursday night against the Giants. Manager Terry Francona is happy because he hit it to the opposite (right) field.

Hey, Hoynsie: Other than the Guards’ pitching staff, have you seen any other things in spring training that concern you going into the season? -- Jim B., Independence.

Hey, Jim: It’s hard to judge pitching in spring training. The good thing about the rotation is that all five starters are healthy. The bullpen hasn’t been as fortunate with the injuries to Sam Hentges, Cody Morris and Nick Mikolajchak.

Until Thursday night when they scored 10 runs and hit three homers against San Francisco, the offense has been relatively quiet this spring. Then again when you look at the averages of Steven Kwan, Jose Ramirez, Josh Naylor, Gabriel Arias and Myles Straw they’re all hitting well above .300 entering the last five games of spring training.

The big additions to the offseason, Josh Bell and Mike Zunino, have looked like two veterans getting ready for the regular season. Bell has shown some big-time power.

Recommended Guardians stories

Hey Hoynsie: How has Myles Straw been progressing in Goodyear? We know his glove is golden, but are there signs his bat will be more like 2021 instead of 2022? -- Matt, Seattle.

Hey, Matt: I’d say he’s doing well. He’s even hit a home run (Friday night vs. the Cubs), something he didn’t do all last season in over 500 at-bats.

Straw is hitting .357 (10 for 28) through 13 games this spring. Yes, the numbers don’t count, but that’s a good sign.

Over his last 30 regular-season games last year, he hit .308 (33 for 107). Combine that with his Cactus League numbers and the work he did at the Guardians’ swing camp over the winter and that’s encouraging.

Hey, Hoynsie: I heard it mentioned on your podcast that Mike Zunino’s injury recovery status is still uncertain. Can you elaborate please? -- Mike Barrett, Ashland.

Hey, Mike: I think Zunino is healthy. He’s caught 11 games this spring. His overall game might be rusty after appearing in only 36 games last season with the Rays before undergoing surgery on his left arm. That’s understandable.

The pitchers have enjoyed throwing to him.

Hey Hoynsie: Is there anything to the rumor the Guardians might trade Amed Rosario? -- Hank Greer, Charleston, SC.

Hey, Hank: I have not heard that rumor. I think Rosario is going to be Cleveland’s starting shortstop. Depending on what the Guards’ won-loss record is at the trading deadline, that could change because as of how Rosario will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Hey, Hoynsie: Do you think Micah Pries starts the season at Class AA Akron or Class AAA Columbus? I think he has potential and I’m pulling for the guy. -- Steve, Surf City, NC.

Hey, Steve: Pries had a great spring and Francona told him to go to the minors and “knock the door down.” He’s not on the 40-man roster so he may have to start the year at Akron again.

The fact that he can play first base, left and right field will help him, but Jhonkensy Noel might be blocking him at Triple-A.

Hey, Hoynsie: What do you think about David Fry making the team? He gives Francona different options when pinch hitting for our weak-hitting catchers and extra protection when Josh Naylor is facing a tough lefty -- Baseball Fan, Bronx, N.Y.

Hey, Base: Fry has played well this spring, but he’s been told he won’t make the final 26-man roster.

Hey, Hoynsie: What’s the new ticket plan the Guardians just announced and how does it work? -- Dave, Chicago.

Hey, Dave: The Guards are offering a monthly pass of standing-room-only tickets for $49 for every home game. It will include opening day, which has already been announced as a sellout, on April 7 against Seattle.

Tickets are good for the Home Run Porch in left field, Heritage Park in center field, The Corner Bar in right field and drinking rails in left and right field. For details go to CLEGuardians.com/BallparkPass.

Hey, Hoynsie: Have you heard anything about Jason Kipnis being added to the radio team? He did a great job on the spring training game he did. -- Skip B, Broadview Heights.

Hey, Skip: I’ve heard Kipnis may drop in on a few broadcasts this year. He’s involved in the restaurant business, but it sounds like he’d like to stay as close to the game as he can.

Bally Sports has added former Indians Pat Tabler, Chris Gimenez and Ellis Burks to their lineup for Guardians’ games.

WSU totaled nine hits and nine free passes (6 walks & 3 HBP) in its win against the Redhawks. Andrew Patrick led the Raiders by going 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, a home run, two runs batted in, and two runs scored, in addition to a walk and a hit by pitch. Josh Laisure earned the winning decision after firing four shutout innings out of the bullpen, tallying a career-high five strikeouts in the process.

SO WE MEET AGAIN… Wright State last met Oakland in the 2022 Horizon League Championship title game, defeating the Golden Grizzlies 24-0. WSU set single-game tournament records in runs scored, largest shutout margin (24), doubles (8), and RBI (23) in the blowout victory. The Raiders lead Oakland 46-13 in the all-time series, which dates back to 1979.

SCOUTING THE GOLDEN GRIZZLIES Oakland is 8-10 overall, 2-1 in the Horizon League, and on a three-game winning streak. The Golden Grizzlies opened conference action last weekend at Youngstown State, taking two out of three games from the Penguins. In non-conference play, OU boasts wins over Michigan (4-1), Wichita State (12-7), and Kansas (6-3).

The Golden Grizzlies top the HL with 13 sacrifice bunts while ranking third in triples (4), on-base percentage (.349), walks (90), stolen bases (27), and sacrifice flies (8). Gabe Lux has paced the offense with team-leading marks in batting (.322), doubles (8), and walks (13). Starting pitcher Hunter Pidek has a 2.65 ERA in 17.0 innings pitched.

WINNING WAYS Wright State opened the 2023 season 3-9 overall but has followed with seven wins in its last eight games. The Raiders have outscored opponents 61-38 in the eight-game stretch, batting .303 with 19 doubles, four triples, and seven home runs while possessing a 3.50 team ERA.

TRIPLES FOR DAYS The Raiders rank 35th nationally and first in the Horizon League with seven triples. Andrew Patrick has led the team with a conference-high three triples.

TEAM GUYS Sammy Sass and Gehrig Anglin are tied for 35th nationally and first in the Horizon League with three sacrifice flies.

MR. CONSISTENT Gehrig Anglin holds team-best marks in home runs (4), runs batted in (20), runs scored (19), walks (16), and stolen bases (9) through 20 starts in 2023. Last season, he tied a single-season school record in home runs with 16 while also leading the Horizon League in slugging percentage (.598), OPS (1.022), and hit by pitch (14).

HE CAN DO IT ALL Jay Luikart — a preseason All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper — is batting .325 with four doubles, one triple, three homers, nine RBI, and 17 runs scored over 20 starts. On the mound, he has totaled a team-leading three saves, most recently in Wright State's 3-0 win at Ohio State (3/22). The Ashland, Ohio native helped the Raiders defeat Kentucky 12-9 (2/25) after going 4-for-4 with a double, two homers, three RBI, and four runs, in addition to tossing the final two innings in relief for his first save of the year.

SLAMMIN' SAMMY Sammy Sass is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, good for the longest stretch by a Raider this season. The junior finished with a season-high three hits, three RBI, and three runs scored against Purdue Fort Wayne on March 17.

STAY HOT, AP Andrew Patrick has slashed .358/.469/.687 with seven doubles, three triples, three home runs, 12 RBI, and 19 runs scored through 19 starts in 2023. The Hilliard, Ohio native tops the Horizon League in triples, slugging percentage, and OPS (1.156) while ranking third in doubles, runs, stolen bases (9), and hit by pitch (4).

BATTER OF THE WEEK Gehrig Anglin earned Horizon League Batter of the Week (3/14) for the first time in his collegiate career after batting .438 (7-for-16) with four doubles, a home run, five RBI, and five runs scored over four games. The redshirt senior recorded two three-hit performances and an extra-base hit in three games while also tallying two walks and a stolen base in the span.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK Friday starter Jake Shirk earned Horizon League Pitcher of the Week (2/21) after firing six scoreless innings in Wright State's season-opening 8-3 victory at Hawaii (2/17). The junior right-hander allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 76 pitches en route to his first win of the 2023 season. Hawaii did not reach scoring position on Shirk in his last five innings of work.

"POWER 5" DOMINANCE Wright State has knocked off a "Power Five" conference program 21 times since 2014.

Medina County baseball is in the midst of a glorious era after the seven schools combined for five league championships and three district runner-up trophies in 2022.
