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.

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.
