The Ohio Center For Broadcasting/Ohio Media School here in referred to M&S Media, Inc. Has engaged in fraudulent and misleading business practices for the past 10 years. The school promises state of the art education, yet most education ends being taught by students who learn the computer systems and programmers better than the instructor. Most instructors do not have any teaching degrees or accreditation beyond "filled in on radio", most guests have been there just to tell you the best way to get break into an industry is to push and push and sell yourself with little to no mention of the course. 

     I started this complaint after speaking with a few fellow classmates. Most of the tour consisted of telling us they had state of the art technology and broadcasting equipment to learn from; after interning not only will anyone who works in audio design or recording tell you "CoolEdit" is completely outdated and illogical to use but has been replaced in most instances with Adobe Audition or in production with FLStudio or ProLogic/ProTools. 

    The equipment was outdated even for two years before we attended (2014) computers were old Dell USB 1.0 port PCs running XP the broadcasting software taught during the "dry run" was SAM broadcaster, a great tool for internet broadcasting but all stations use TriCaster. The video production lab consisted of final cut running on Macs with 10.5 leopard when the latest versions of both the operating systems and software were available for free from the vendor. 

  NOW - The facility was completely outdated and structurally unstable the ceiling in the production, lunch, and secondary production room nearly collapsed and then consistently leaked damage one students personal equipment; Teachers would revolve we were promised "all materials provided" but we weren't promised an asterisk on it. CDs, Tapes, Mini-Discs, FlashDrives, were available.... for purchase. The maximum loan amount was taken out to provide us with the ability to get materials we needed, yet no one in my class or the class before mine had any refund money. 

   The school promised a career director and touts a 94% success rate, I guess this failed on my class as one person actually pursued their position and got the job of her own volition. That is an .008% success rate. 

   The school also promised a full ability to transfer credits to different schools, something that turned out to impossible as the school is not state accredited. There are now students trying to attend actual universities but can't as they find out they owe anywhere from 17,000 - 34,000$ in student loans. 

     We the undersigned demand a full audit of employment records, student loan records, a week long session of industry professionals (current on air personalities) taking classes from 101 - 3 and giving a report on the abilities of teachers and technologies. An audit of accreditation and a full refund of all debts owed to M&S Media, Inc. and Sallie Mae, at the expense of M&S Media, Inc. We request a full evaluation by the state accreditation board, a full interview of all teachers and classroom assistants, and a suit from the OSAG for false advertisement, theft by deception, and fraud.
