Ex-librarian files lawsuit against OSU

COLUMBUS (AP) — A former Ohio State University librarian has sued the school, claiming he faced discrimination for his Christian beliefs.

Scott Savage says he was forced to resign after recommending a conservative book for incoming freshmen. He says the other picks were too liberal and reflected the school’s promotion of a gay agenda.

Two colleagues filed a sexual harassment complaint against Savage and said the recommendation showed he was homophobic. That complaint was dismissed.

In his lawsuit, Savage says he was personally and professionally harassed by colleagues, forcing him to resign. He is asking for his job back and for the university to change its sexual harassment policies.

An Ohio State spokesman declined to comment.
