Dr. Richard Strauss

The decision keeps in place a lower court's decision that revived unsettled cases against The Ohio State University from victims of OSU athletics physician Richard Strauss between 1978 and 1998.

In a self-commissioned report, Ohio State says Strauss sexually abused more than 170 mostly male victims between 1979 and 1996.

A group of survivors of decades-old sexual abuse by a long-dead Ohio State team doctor have appealed a judge's dismissal of their lawsuits against the university.
