Wexner complaints cite Epstein associationWexner hasn't been charged with any crime in connection with Epstein, the one-time financial adviser by whom he says he was "duped." "Ohio State University cannot credibly separate itself from these facts, nor can it justify continuing to honour Les Wexner with an athletic facility," their naming removal request read. At Harvard, a group of students and faculty at the prestigious Kennedy School has targeted the Leslie H Wexner Building and the Wexner-Sunshine Lobby. The renaming request submitted in March cites Wexner's "strong ties to Epstein" and argues Epstein profited off Wexner, "which enabled Epstein to use his wealth and power to traffic and abuse children and women." Wexner, his wife Abigail and their charities have given Ohio State well over USD 200 million over the years, for example.
