Ohio State University is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider questions about the law known as Title IX in a case stemming from lawsuits over decades-old sexual abuse by the late team doctor Richard Strauss
FILE - A sign for Ohio State University stands in Columbus, Ohio, May 8, 2019. Ohio State University on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider questions about the law known as Title IX and hear a case that affects whether more than 230 men can proceed with unsettled lawsuits against the school over decades-old sexual abuse by a team doctor, the late Richard Strauss. COLUMBUS, Ohio — — Ohio State University is asking the U.S.
The university has repeatedly offered apologies to those Strauss harmed and has reached over $60 million in settlements with at least 296 survivors, but eventually sought to have the remaining unsettled cases dismissed. It argued that the time limit for the claims — the applicable two-year statute of limitations in Ohio — began way back during the doctor's tenure and had long passed.
It noted that the decision from the Cincinnati-based Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals about when the clock started conflicts with conclusions from federal appeals courts elsewhere, and said that points to the need for the nation's high court to weigh in.
