Ohio State's Chase Center lied to the Dispatch about Yale Law dipshit's demotion
Plus, an internal investigation found "sufficient evidence" nutty professor Luke Perez violated university police when he assaulted a cameraman trying to ask Vice President E. Gordon Gee a question.
Longtime readers of The Rooster might remember the halcyon days of February 2026 when we embroiled Ohio State’s right-wing make-work center for intellectual midwits in international opprobrium.
Ohio State Salmon P. Chase Center Assistant Professor Luke Perez is still on paid administrative leave following his assault on local documentarian Michael Newman for the high crime of trying to ask Vice President E. Gordon Gee a question about student loan debt.
Somehow, the much more bizarre performance belonged to Perez’s boss, then-Chase Center Associate Director and Professor Christopher Green.
Green, who was maybe the only person who had a better view than mine to the assault on Newman, went on a minutes-long tirade showing the value of a Yale Law degree by claiming that he had been assaulted “multiple times” while obstructing the entrance of a public elevator.
On March 27, The Rooster broke the news about the Chase Center stripping Professor Green of his Associate Director’s title after he had brazenly lied to Ohio State Police about the events on that fateful February night in Smith Laboratory.
However, Lee Strang, the integralist Executive Director of the Chase Center, painted a much different picture to Emma Wozniak of The Columbus Dispatch on April 4.
Brackets mine:
Despite the backdrop of recent events, Strang suggested that Green’s resignation was unrelated to what transpired between Perez and Newman.
Strang said Green never planned to stay associate director permanently, but rather took on the administrative role last spring because the center needed a senior faculty member to help with leading the center in its early days. Green’s resignation reflects his desire to return to teaching, Strang said.
[…]
When directly asked whether the timing of Green’s self-demotion is related to the events on Feb. 9, Strang said “Chris agreed last spring to serve in an administrative role to assist with leadership during the Center’s launch.”
“It was always his intention to return to a faculty position as soon as possible,” he continued. “Professor Lavertu’s availability made that transition possible.”
It certainly was convenient for Strang that French pervert (repetitive, I know) Stephané Lavertu appeared on the horizon, months after the Chase Center’s public relations nightmare, to take the administrative reins from Green, who apparently wanted to go back to comparing the lack of conservative college professors to civil rights violations akin to all-white juries in the Jim Crow era.
But none of that is true, according to Green’s personnel file, obtained by Michael Newman and sent to The Rooster for publication.
You can view that entire redacted personnel here:
But the proof of Strang’s lies appears in an April 29, 2025, letter to Green informing him of his new tenured professorship with a base salary of $205,000 and his appointment as the Chase Center’s Associate Director:
You’ll notice how there’s no mention of Green assuming the role on a temporary or interim basis.
Executive Director Strang showed his integrity by concocting the tall tale to satiate the press.
It’s almost as if Strang lacks the intellectual fortitude required to mold the next generation of leaders, which is why he’s working in a legislative-mandated make-work center for right-wing lightweights and not an actual political science department.
Unsurprisingly, the Chase Center is hiring a public relations specialist to create propaganda for the amazing work that’s happening under that roof.
