Ohio State University (OSU) has agreed to a $100 million settlement to resolve claims from 279 former students who alleged sexual abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss, a campus doctor who preyed on students for decades. This settlement is a significant development in a legal battle that has lasted eight years, with only one of the claimants not participating in the agreement. OSU previously settled with 317 survivors for over $61 million. The university's president, Ravi Bellamkonda, highlighted the importance of this resolution for the survivors, who were primarily male athletes. An independent investigation revealed that Strauss abused at least 177 students between the mid-1970s and late 1990s, with university officials aware of the abuse yet failing to intervene. U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, a former assistant wrestling coach at OSU, has faced accusations of inaction regarding Strauss's abuse, although he has consistently denied any knowledge of the misconduct. The settlement aims to provide closure for the victims and marks a step toward accountability for the university.
