The president, Walter Carter Jr., said he made a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership.
The president of Ohio State University has resigned after he disclosed to trustees that he had an inappropriate relationship, the school said in a statement on Monday.
The president, Walter Carter Jr., who has led the school for two years, said in a statement that the relationship was with someone seeking public resources and that he had made a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership to support her personal business.
The university did not provide more detail about the nature of the relationship or the identity of the person mentioned in the statement.
The board chair, John W. Zeiger, could not immediately be reached, but in a letter that he wrote to Mr. Carter that was released by the university, he accepted his resignation.

even if the story is one most should not want to acknowledge. Just sayin. (I have gotten so tired of this issue, but it continues- embarrassing stories, wins or losses, or whatever context- just like whiplash).
