Ohio State University President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. has resigned after admitting he had an “inappropriate relationship” with someone who he said was “seeking public resources.”
Carter submitted his resignation on Saturday, and the university accepted on Sunday. It was announced on Monday morning.
Ohio State’s board of trustees said in a statement that Carter “recently disclosed to trustees that he had an inappropriate relationship with someone seeking public resources to support her personal business, and offered to resign.”
The person involved was not named.
The school said it appreciates Carter’s contributions and will share information about the transition in the coming days.
In a letter accepting Carter’s resignation, board of trustees chair John Zeiger said he was “surprised and disappointed” to learn about the situation, but that he respects Carter’s decision and appreciates his cooperation in “supporting an orderly leadership transition.”
In a statement announcing his resignation, Carter said he “made a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership.”
“I believe we have made much progress during my time at Ohio State, and I\u2019m sorry I\u2019m not able to remain your president longer,” Carter said. “The students, faculty and staff at this university are among the very best in the world.”
Carter served as the university’s 17th president. He was hired for the role in 2023<\/a>.
