Some Oklahoma State Uni-versity students and a theater professor claim the exploration of transgender and other gender is-sues caused their production to be moved from the main stage.

Students in a fall 2015 devised theatre class were developing a play based on “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen, which raises questions about gender roles and relationships in society. The play was scheduled to be performed in the Vivia Locke Theatre this weekend.

Jodi Jinks, an assistant theater professor, said her students were in the early stages of developing scenes of “The Politics of Danc-ing,” which included transgender monologues and other gender-related issues, when the class was told it would have to change the direction of the play or perform elsewhere.

“At that point, I believe that

there was an infringement on my academic freedom of speech, and there was an infringement on students’ freedom of speech,” Jinks said.

Students began reading and devising the play in August and started discussing transgender is-sues prevalent in the media, Jinks said.

In mid-October, Jinks presented drafts of scenes that depicted the writing style the students were going for, she said. Andrew Kimbrough, head of the OSU Department of Theatre, as well as costume designers and the stage manager attended the meeting.

Jinks said the scenes were read, and the next day, Kimbrough told her she could not produce the show as it was on the main stage.

“(Kimbrough) was afraid we would offend the donors and lose money for the department because we depend on our ticket sales to keep this department afloat,” she said.

Kimbrough, who has worked at OSU for more than two years, said when the scenes were presented in the meeting, it seemed there was a disconnect between the original proposal and the direction the devised play was moving.

“When the work was presented to the production team, we saw that in the slate of scenes that were to be presented, we were not

seeing an exploration of relation-ships,” Kimbrough said. “Instead, what we were seeing was an exploration of gender identity and gender politics.”

Thursday, Jinks said Kimbrough gave her until the end of the day Monday to stop her efforts to pub-licize the story with the O’Colly.

“It was another attempt at squelching freedom of speech,” Jinks said.

Kimbrough said he requested Jinks to dissolve the story.

“I think it would be in the best interest of the department if there was no negative publicity of this incident,” Kimbrough said.

Jinks said about a year ago, she was asked to provide the name of the play and a short description of what it would entail for marketing purposes.

The theater department adver-tised the play as a production that

“examines the mating rituals of our planet’s most advanced and complicated species,” according to a department brochure.

“I was seeing an evolution of work that was, one, not on the topic that was proposed, (and) two, that tended to be one-sided in its address of transgender issues,” Kimbrough said.

Kimbrough said he visited the class and requested that if the stu-dents continued with “The Politics of Dancing,” they keep in mind the type of audience they would be performing for.

“Even though they were mov-ing in a new direction, they were never asked to abandon the topic but simply to proceed from the vantage of mid-October with our current audience in mind,” Kim-brough said. “And I believe when you’re running a business, this is the No. 1 rule. You must create work that has your audience in mind.”

Jinks said the department was set up to fail when the students were asked to write a play for an audience “over 50, white and Republican.”

Kimbrough said the description of the audience transpired from a conversation with the class. He said he asked the students to be specific about the demographics of the department’s audience.

“There was a pause in the room

and then about five students spoke all at once and said ‘old people’ and then a voice chimed in after-ward and said ‘conservative old people,’” Kimbrough said. ”I did not disagree with them because I believed the students’ assessment of the audience was accurate.”

Jessica Smoot, a theater senior, said the class was also told chang-es would need to be made to the proposed scenes before they could be performed on the main stage.

“(Kimbrough) told us that edits would have to be made to what we were saying and that we definitely would have to change some of the scenes we had initially proposed,”

Smoot said. “He basically gave us an ultimatum. Either we change our material and get to perform on the main stage or we do a black box show.”

Smoot said the students were told they could perform the play as they wanted in the Jerry L. Davis Studio Theatre with full technical support. The students took five days to decide how they wanted to proceed and chose to perform in the Davis Studio.

Smoot said by the end of Oc-tober, the students were informed the show would be a workshop performance and would receive no advertising or technical support

within the department.“I know (Kimbrough) has to

make hard decisions,” Smoot said. “The thing is, it’s in educational theater institution. I mean, yeah, the money’s important, but we should be able to have the freedom to say things without it being primarily business.”

Smoot said she believes she and her classmates were censored when they were asked to modify the content for the main stage.

“Immediately, when you’re told you have to say something to suit a certain crowd, that’s censorship,” Smoot said.

Jinks received the Mary Lou Lemon Endowed Professorship for Underrepresented Voices, which serves the purpose of giving a voice to populations that don’t have one.

Josh Arbaugh, a theater junior who identifies as transgender, said he was humiliated and heartbro-ken when he found out about the department’s decision. He said he took a risk writing about his per-sonal experience for the play and as a result ended up feeling like a “freak of nature.”

Arbaugh, who is also Kim-brough’s mentee within the theatre department, said he never expect-ed a play about transgender issues to be a problem on a university campus that has many diverse clubs and organizations.

“I pleaded with (Kimbrough),”

Arbaugh said. “The day he came to class, I said, ‘This is really hap-pening. It’s relevant, it’s happen-ing now, it’s happening to us.’”

Arbaugh said Kimbrough seemed afraid of the play’s con-tent.

“He seemed like it was going to embarrass the department and that it would potentially ruin us as a department if this kind of content was seen by our donors,” he said.

Arbaugh said he and his class-mates weren’t willing to compro-mise on a subject they believed should be talked about. The class performed the play “This Title Has Been Censored” during finals week in the Davis Studio.

“It wasn’t finished, but we said what we wanted to say,” Arbaugh said.

Arbaugh said theater students aren’t being protected and that the department’s image should be a reflection of the students.

“Censoring who we are to protect an image is too costly,” Arbaugh said.

The department has never shied away from staging work with LGBTQ characters and topics, Kimbrough said.

Shows such as “Almost Maine,” “Cabaret” and “Beyond Therapy” showcase the department’s diver-sity, he said.

“I think it would be incredibly

inaccurate to characterize this department as anything but supportive of every hu-man being who’s out there,” Kimbrough said.

In the past three months, Jinks has met with OSU administration officials, including Gary Sandefur, the provost, to express her concerns regarding the students’ rights and her right to academic freedom.

“What I am feeling is that there is a disregard for my feelings around an infringe-ment of academic freedom of speech and freedom of speech and it feels as though it’s being swept under the rug,” Jinks said.

Sandefur said no report has been issued with find-ings regarding this situation.

“I think there was just an honest difference of opinion about the accessibility of the performance and its appro-priateness for the season and the main stage,” Sandefur said.

OSU abides by the Amer-ican Association of Univer-sity Professor’s definition

of academic freedom, a portion of which states, “All faculty members are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing the subject of the course, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching either controversial matter that has no relation to the subject or actions that violate the rights of students,” accord-ing to the OSU Faculty Handbook.

Sandefur said he believes academic freedom is one of the most important values in higher education.

“You want a college campus to be a place where ideas can be freely exchanged and shared and heard with one another even if some of those ideas we might personally find dis-agreeable,” Sandefur said. “If you can’t have free and open exchange of ideas at universities, on college cam-puses, you’re not going to be able to have it anywhere.”

Jinks has not filed a com-plaint with the university as the OSU grievance policy does not list academic free-

dom issues on its grievance checklist. Sandefur said he has endorsed the AAUP’s call to re-examine OSU’s grievance procedures and revise the policy so that it is in line with the AAUP’s recommendations, if faculty council feels it is appropri-ate.

The OSU chapter presi-dent of AAUP said there is nothing binding about what faculty council does.

“There’s no guarantee that a revision, if it’s pro-posed, will be accepted,” Shelia Kennison said.

Smoot said there was a general feeling that the money and donors were more important than what the students had to say.

“We went into this know-ing that not everybody’s go-ing to like what we’re going to do, but that’s part of art,” Smoot said. “Sometimes you have to make people slightly uncomfortable in order for there to be a change.”

kurt steiss/O’COLLYAndrew Kimbrough, the Theatre Department head, said it would be “inaccurate to characterize this department as anything but supportive of every human being.”

The Transportation Security Administration won’t be the only agency keeping commercial flights to Stillwater safe.

The Stillwater Police Depart-ment will support TSA operations at Stillwater Regional Airport once commercial flights start in August, SPD Captain Kyle Gibbs said.

SPD will have an officer at the terminal during arrivals and de-partures for security, Gibbs said.

“The preliminary plan is that once that service starts going every day, … we’ll have an officer go out there during that time while they’re screening,” Gibbs said.

Commercial services to Stillwa-ter mean an increase in security for passenger and luggage screen-ing. The main security checkpoint is included in the proposed termi-nal expansion.

The TSA will have a presence at the terminal during flight hours but not a constant operation, Gary Johnson, the Director of Stillwater Regional Airport said.

“They’ll be here during the flight times, and there’ll be a time before and after that they’ll be here,” Johnson said. “For the most

part, it will surround the flight schedule and wont be a 24-hour presence.”

The complete security plan for the airport hasn’t been finished, and Johnson said the plan would be something the TSA will deter-mine at a later date. He expects a SPD officer to back up three to five TSA agents who will operate the checkpoint.

Costs for installing and operat-ing the TSA’s equipment haven’t been released, and Johnson said the TSA will keep the security plan confidential.

Stillwater is in the early stages of the process for upgrading se-curity and finalizing plans for the airport, Johnson said. He also said he thinks the TSA won’t install the equipment until closer to when flights start.

“I would assume they would be bringing in equipment prior to the Aug. 23 startup,” Johnson said. “But that’s not been determined or released to us at this time.

“I’m not trying to be vague; it’s

just that I really don’t have that answer. It’s still in the develop-ment right now.”

The Oklahoma State Cow-girls continue on their path to the NCAA Tournament, moving up three spots in this week’s AP Top 25 poll, an-nounced Monday.

Despite losing to Texas on Wednesday, the Cowgirls (19-5 overall, 9-4 Big 12) moved from No. 20 to No. 17 after beating then-No. 24 West Vir-ginia on Saturday.

The Cowgirls remain locked in as a No. 5 seed in the Lexington Region in ESPN’s weekly NCAA bracketology, announced Tuesday. OSU will have to win a few more signa-ture games to snag a top-four

seeding and keep ahead of Oklahoma, who is a No. 5 seed in the Sioux Falls Region.

OSU will have a tough task Wednesday night in Waco, Texas, against No. 4 Baylor (25-1, 12-1), a team that re-corded its lone loss against the Cowgirls on Dec. 30.

Oklahoma State’s nerves can’t be an issue.

Yes, it’s facing a scorching hot Baylor team at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Waco, Texas.

Yes, the No. 4 Bears are a different animal with All-American Niya Johnson at the point after she missed the last matchup with a bone bruise in her right foot.

The Cowgirls are 24 games into the season, though. If they want to remain among the top three in the Big 12, they can’t be afraid of going into the Bears’ den.

“Will it be loud? Will it be a great atmosphere?” OSU coach Jim Littell said. “Yeah, that’s why you come to Oklahoma State, to play in those type of venues.”

The No.17 Cowgirls (19-5 overall, 9-4 Big 12) are third in the conference. Baylor sits atop the conference after winning 12 straight games, but the Bears are beatable. OSU showed that Dec. 30, beating Baylor 52-45. The Cowgirls will have to find a different way to do it.

The Bears’ offense revolves around Johnson. Baylor coach Kim Mulkey called her the Bears’ quar-terback after their 52-45 loss to OSU. Johnson leads the

Big 12 in assists with 9.3 a game, and forward Nina Davis aids Baylor’s league-leading offense with 16.3 points per game.

“It’s a different team, a little different preparation,” Littell said. “You’re guard-ing somebody different than you guarded last time.”

OSU guard Brittney Martin said the Cowgirls can contain Johnson, but they will have to play smart, not letting the Bears’ deadly pick-and-roll fake them out.

“I think Rodd (Patton) is one of the best defend-ers in the league, and she can handle Niya,” Martin said. “It’s just a lot different because she can pass the ball. … I think we have less room for error now that she’s back.”

In the last meeting, OSU funneled its offense through only Martin and Kaylee Jen-sen. After 13 Big 12 games,

the team has experimented with what works and what doesn’t. The Cowgirls are a different team

Patton is cutting down on turnovers. The shooting guard spot has seen some consistency in production from whoever fills it on a given night, and forward Mandy Coleman has started to emerge as a scoring threat.

The Cowgirls have weap-ons to contend with Baylor (25-1, 12-1). Only the fear of losing out on a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament drives them now.

“We want to stay on the top, and we don’t want a sev-en seed like they usually do to us or a 10 seed or some crap like that,” Martin said. “We need to win out, so we need to win at Baylor.”

Oklahoma State’s Don-nie Walton was named to the Golden Spikes Preseason Watch List on Tuesday. The award is given out every year to the top amateur baseball player in the country.

In Walton’s 160 games as a Cowboy, he has a .309 batting average, hitting eight home runs and accumulating 92 RBIs. Walton also has an OSU-record 52 sacrifice bunts.

The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Walton in the 23rd round of the 2015 MLB Draft, but he opted to not sign and return for his senior season.

Last summer, Walton played with the Yarmouth-Dennis Red

Sox in the Cape Cod Baseball League, where he was named MVP of the league’s all-star game. He was also named MVP of the league playoffs after leading the Red Sox to a CCBL championship.

Since the award was created in 1978, Robin Ventura has

been OSU’s only recipient, win-ning the award in 1988.
