The Ohio University Programming Council and the Black Student Cultural Programming Board decided to move forward with their annual Throwback concert featuring Sean Kingston despite rape allegations.

The concert would be paid for regardless because of the contract, but “both organizations along with (their) advisors have not taken this topic lightly,” UPC’s incoming President Jen Sroka said in a statement on behalf of both organizations.

“We understand that this might not be a safe space for all Ohio University members and community members, and are working with campus partners to provide alternative programming for those members of our community that might feel unsafe at the #TBT concert,” Sroka said in the statement. “In the future, we will do deeper review of the artists to ensure that our programs are a safe space for all of our community.”
