Ohio State President Resigns Over 'Inappropriate Relationship'
HuffPost
"I made a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership," Walter Carter Jr. said.
The Ohio State University president has resigned after admitting to an “inappropriate relationship with someone seeking public resources to support her personal business,” the school announced Monday.
Walter “Ted” Carter Jr., the now-former president, had led the public university ― one of the largest in the country with more than 67,000 students enrolled ― for just over two years.
“For personal reasons, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my role as president of The Ohio State University,” Carter said in a statement released by OSU. “I disclosed to the board of trustees that I made a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership.”
Further details around the inappropriate relationship and who was involved beyond Carter were not immediately clear. A university spokesperson told The Columbus Dispatch that the relationship came to light after an unnamed source alerted the board.
In a publicly shared letter accepting Carter’s resignation, OSU Board of Trustees President John Zeiger said the panel “was surprised and disappointed to learn of this matter and takes the situation and its potential impact on the university very seriously.”
