Ohio State President Walter 'Ted' Carter Jr. has resigned after admitting to an inappropriate relationship with an individual seeking public resources. The university's Board of Trustees acknowledged his resignation on March 9, citing his contributions to the institution over the last two years.
Carter, who was appointed as the 17th president of Ohio State in 2023, had previously served as the president of the University of Nebraska System. He issued a statement saying he made a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership.
The university will provide further details regarding the leadership transition in the upcoming days.
