Brief Summary

Annie Farmer, a prominent voice for victims of Jeffrey Epstein, has thrown her support behind a growing movement to purge Les Wexner’s name from Ohio State University’s campus. The push stems from the disturbing intersection of Wexner’s tenure as a university trustee and the decades-long sexual predation of students by campus doctor Richard Strauss. Survivors argue that keeping the billionaire's name on high-profile buildings—including the medical center where abuse victims are currently directed for care—is a slap in the face to those the institution failed to protect.

Why This Matters

This story highlights the ongoing struggle to hold powerful institutions accountable for protecting predators in their ranks. When you see names on buildings, you are looking at the legacy of donors who wield immense influence over university policy. This battle serves as a reminder that institutional reputations are often bought with money, and that real change requires challenging the powerful figures whose names are etched in stone. If you are a student or a taxpayer, this matters because it exposes how universities prioritize donor relationships over the basic safety and dignity of the individuals they are supposed to serve.
