Tom Ashbrook will not return to On Point

Tom Ashbrook (Liz Linder for WBUR)

Tom Ashbrook, host of the WBUR / NPR news call-in program On Point, will no longer host the show nor return to WBUR.  Boston University, which operates WBUR, announced this decision today after an independent review concluded that his behavior had created a dysfunctional workplace. A parallel review by the University concluded that Ashbrook’s behavior was not sexual in nature and did not constitute sexual harassment. WBUR has not announced a replacement host; substitutes will continue to host for the time being.  More information is in WBUR's story at this link http://www.wbur.org/news/2018/02/14/tom-ashbrook-dismissed and in Boston University's announcement, here https://www.bu.edu/today/2018/tom-ashbrook-dismissed-from-wbur/.
