Ohio State Seeks $100M Abuse Settlement

Ohio State University is poised to finalize a $100 million settlement to resolve claims from survivors of former doctor Richard Strauss, covering nearly all remaining plaintiffs in the decades-long abuse case. Already, over 300 survivors have received more than $61 million since March 2020. An independent probe in 2019 confirmed Strauss abused at least 177 students during his 20-year tenure. Recent public disclosures—like that of a retired fire chief—have sparked renewed courage among others to speak out. With mediation complete, university officials and the Ohio Attorney General now finalize individual agreements, bringing long-awaited closure to survivors.
