## Resource

Ohio State University just approved a $100 million settlement for 279 survivors who say they were sexually abused by former team doctor Dr. Richard Strauss — adding to the $61 million already paid to 317 others. The university’s president called the survivors “Buckeyes, part of the family,” praising their courage, while critics like Senator Bill DeMora called the delay unacceptable but welcomed the closure. With some agreements sealed, the identities of some victims may remain hidden — but this massive payout marks a major step toward accountability for decades of abuse.
