Colleges under pressure over building names with Epstein connections | Fortune
""Ohio State University cannot credibly separate itself from these facts, nor can it justify continuing to honor Les Wexner with an athletic facility. To do so is to ignore the voices of survivors, former athletes, and the broader community who expect accountability, transparency, and justice.""
""Wexner's generosity to his alma mater is now tainted by the knowledge that Epstein was entangled in many of his family's spending decisions, including around the football complex's naming.""
Protests have emerged at Ohio State University, demanding the removal of Les Wexner's name from campus buildings. Union nurses, former athletes, and student leaders are concerned about Wexner's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, a known sexual predator. Similar movements are occurring at other universities regarding buildings named after Epstein associates. The backlash reflects a growing scrutiny of university donors linked to Epstein, with some academics resigning after their connections were revealed. Wexner has not been charged with any crime related to Epstein but faces criticism for his past associations.
