Ohio State University settled with 279 victims of former doctor Richard Strauss for $100 million, ending most of an eight-year legal battle. Strauss, who sexually abused at least 177 male victims between 1979 and 1996, retired in 1998 and died in 2005. The university approved the settlement, with President Ravi Bellamkonda stating it is an important step forward.
