The Ohio State University abuse scandal centered on allegations of sexual abuse that occurred between 1978 and 1998, while Richard Strauss was employed as a physician by the Ohio State University (OSU) in the Athletics Department and in the Student Health Center. An independent investigation into the allegations was announced in April 2018 and was conducted by the law firm Perkins Coie.

Ohio State has expressed and continues to express regret and sincere apologies to each person impacted by Strauss’ abuse and thanks the survivors for courageously bringing Strauss’ abuse to light.
The university has spent the past five years focused on supporting survivors and discovering and sharing the facts. As part of this effort, Ohio State established a task force on sexual abuse, which included national and university experts who partnered with survivors of sexual abuse, including a Strauss survivor.
The university took special action to revoke Strauss’ emeritus status in 2019.
Survivors have also had the opportunity to speak to the Board of Trustees annually from 2018 to 2022. Ohio State is committed to continuing its larger efforts to support survivors a
