Ohio State President Kristina Johnson Reportedly Set to Announce Resignation

Kristina Johnson’s tenure as Ohio State’s president is reportedly ending after less than three years.

According to a report by Sheridan Hendrix of the Columbus Dispatch, Johnson is expected to announce her resignation as Ohio State’s president on Tuesday “following an investigation conducted by an outside firm into concerns about her that were raised by staff,” per Dispatch sources.

Per the report, Johnson is expected to remain Ohio State’s president for the remainder of the academic year. Ohio State has not confirmed the report.

Johnson became Ohio State’s new president in June 2020, replacing Michael Drake.
