Ohio U. Will Remove Roger Ailes’s Name from a Newsroom
Roger Ailes’s name will be removed from a television-station newsroom at Ohio University, and a $500,000 donation the former Fox News executive made to the university in 2007 will be returned, according to reports by the station, WOUB, and The Post, a student-run newspaper. Mr. Ailes, a 1962 alumnus of the university, has been accused by more than 20 women of sexual harassment. Fox News’s parent company, 21st Century Fox, recently reached a $20-million settlement with Gretchen Carlson, a former news anchor whose lawsuit precipitated the investigation that led to Mr. Ailes’s departure from the network in July. His lawyers have denied all of the allegations against him.
