The Ohio State University announced University of Nebraska President Walter "Ted" Carter as its 17th president on August 22, 2023.

Ohio State University President Ted Carter has resigned.

This comes after the OSU Board of Trustees held a rare meeting on Saturday to discuss personnel matters. Carter was university president beginning in January of 2024. He was hired after former President Kristina Johnson resigned after two years in the position.

A statement from the university said 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.
