Investigation finds former Ohio State president violated school policy

The 47-page report says Carter’s efforts benefited a close associate, while university controls blocked many requests and no further discipline was recommended.

  • On Tuesday, The Ohio State University released an investigation report finding that former President Walter "Ted" Carter Jr. "misused his position" to secure resources for his "personal associate," Krisanthe Vlachos.
  • For nearly two years, Carter "used the authority of his position to make wide-ranging efforts to assist Vlachos," seeking university employment, office space, and financial support for her business ventures, according to the report.
  • While Vlachos had "extraordinary access" to Carter, university processes and vigilant employees blocked many of his efforts; she received no university funds or employment, the investigation found.
  • Senior Vice President Chris Kabourek resigned on April 13 following Carter's March resignation, while the university now responds to inquiries from three state and two federal agencies regarding the findings.
  • Ohio State announced recommendations to "reinforce the importance of culture and shared values" at senior leadership levels while establishing more transparent scheduling and expenditure review processes for the president's office.
