Decades after a university doctor exploited his position to harm hundreds of students, Ohio State University has agreed to pay $100 million to nearly 300 survivors of abuse by Richard Strauss — a settlement that closes courtroom chapters while opening deeper questions about how institutions protect the vulnerable in their care.

Ohio State University's $100M settlement with 300 Strauss abuse survivors resolves institutional liability, creating precedent for higher education accountability and potential increased insurance/legal costs across universities.
