The Ohio State University announced University of Nebraska President Walter "Ted" Carter as its 17th president on August 22, 2023. He resigned as Ohio State's president on March 9, 2026.

The University of Nebraska says it is reviewing records from former NU and Ohio State University President Walter "Ted" Carter Jr.'s tenure at the university.

A University of Nebraska spokesperson confirmed the investigation in a statement to WOSU, which said NU is looking through records and related materials.

Carter was president at NU for three years prior to joining Ohio State in 2023. The statement said NU is aware of a report done by OSU into Carter's alleged wrongdoing which led to his resignation on March 9.

The report, released Tuesday, found Carter misused his position to benefit Krisanthe Vlachos, a podcast host, and that he had an inappropriate personal relationship with her.

The report noted Carter first met Vlachos while he was president at NU. The report said the two met at a forum in Washington, D.C., in March 2023 about veterans and energy.
