OSU OKs $100M deal to settle sexual-abuse cases

Article excerpt

Ohio State University has agreed to pay roughly $100 million to settle hundreds of lawsuits from former student athletes who alleged sexual abuse by a university doctor over several decades. The settlement, approved by the university's board of trustees, resolves claims tied to abuse that occurred years ago. The agreement represents one of the largest payouts by a university for such cases and follows similar high-profile settlements at other institutions. The exact terms and timeline for the payment have yet to be fully disclosed.
