OSU to pay about $100 million to settle abuse claims against former campus doctor

Ohio State University reached a preliminary $100 million settlement with roughly 280 former student-athletes who allege sexual abuse by former campus doctor Richard Strauss (1978–1998). The board approved the agreement with all but one of the survivors still pursuing claims, building on prior settlements that totaled over $61 million for 317 survivors. If finalized, the accord could end a lengthy federal lawsuit filed in 2018 and closes a painful chapter for the university; Strauss died in 2005, and independent reviews previously found knowledge of complaints dating back to 1979.

OSU Official Suggests Jordan Probably Knew About Strauss Abuse

In a deposition unsealed Monday, former OSU athletic director Andy Geiger said he believes Rep. Jim Jordan probably knew about Dr. Richard Strauss’s abuse of wrestlers and other male athletes at Ohio State, challenging Jordan’s denials as the long-running federal lawsuit against OSU—which has tied Strauss’s alleged abuse to hundreds of student-athletes—continues with multiple depositions and settlements; OSU officials have acknowledged knowledge of the abuse and say they cannot comment on active litigation.

OSU findings: Carter attempted to leverage the presidency for a personal associate, but safeguards blocked the effort

The Ohio State University released the findings of a joint investigation into former President Walter 'Ted' Carter Jr.'s resignation. The inquiry determined Carter attempted to misuse his office to obtain resources for a personal associate, but university processes and staff prevented those efforts; the actions also impacted several university partners. No further personnel actions are recommended beyond Carter's resignation and the prior resignation of Senior VP Chris Kabourek. The report offers recommendations to strengthen president-board independence, leadership-request practices, and ethics/insider-threat training, and it emphasizes upholding the university's culture and values. The full report and records are publicly accessible on OSU's investigation webpage.
