Yuk. Yuk. Agree with your premise. Maybe after all of these decades, it's time to leave behind the "well-rounded education". Someone on the engineering track for instance, shouldn't need to take a poetry class, no? If you want it, certainly. In undergrad, had a guy on the medicine track, that got A's in his classes, and a D in English. (PS, was an English speaker). Now, as a side, am moving back to Ohio, and while looking to rebuild my stable of doctors, have noted that many are from tOSU School of Medicine. So guess we'll see how many we/I interview to see if they're as good as we have here in the boondocks of California. Stay tuned. PS, is tOSU/Wexner Medical buildings a home for the unqualified med school grads? Kinda tongue in cheek, but also kinda serious....thanks

Are you a physician recruiter?

Nope. As a gonna-be Columbusite, am looking to replenish my/our stable of medicos. And am starting to see what's out there. Quality docs are most important, and it's hard to tell who's a good doc versus not. And, cannot assume that tOSU docs are the 'best'. With that article, am concerned. Guess a visit or two will tell the tale.

It's a top 25 medical school that accepts only 5% of its applicants. It's graduates are just fine.

I hate progress.

I hope this works.

Ohio State Board of Trustees Approves Final $100 Million Settlement with Richard Strauss Sexual Abuse Survivors​

The Ohio State Board of Trustees voted Wednesday to approve a $100 million settlement with hundreds of survivors of former university doctor Richard Strauss.

The resolution is expected to serve as the final settlement in the ongoing fallout from the Strauss sexual abuse cases. The measure was included in a consent agenda containing dozens of items, which the board approved unanimously.

State president Ravi Bellamkonda said Strauss survivors will always remain part of the Buckeye family and community.

We continue to be very grateful to them for their courage in coming forward — and reaching a final resolution was very important to us as an important step forward,” said Bellamkonda, who became Ohio State’s 18th president on March 12.

Trustees did not disclose details of the settlement during the meeting. Board chair John Zeiger said the terms remain confidential and cannot be made public until the agreement is finalized. Zeiger acknowledged that the public will have questions about what he called “this substantial development” and said the university intends to provide answers when it is able to do so.

It’s important we respect the court’s order and comply with the mediator’s directive,” Zeiger said. “But we will provide additional information on this resolution when we are positioned to do so.”

The university and the plaintiffs released the following joint statement after Wednesday’s board meeting:

Ohio State and 279 of the 280 individual remaining Richard Strauss survivors involved in the pending litigation have reached settlements in principle in a total amount of $100 million. The university’s Board of Trustees has now publicly ratified these agreements in principle, and all parties thank the mediators for their assistance. The mediation and its confidentiality are continuing as the parties work to finalize the details of the settlements, and additional information will be shared as appropriate.

Before Wednesday’s vote, Ohio State had paid more than $61 million to 317 survivors since March 2020. The university also reached settlements with more than a dozen survivors in April.
