Walter ‘Ted’ Carter Jr. is currently making headlines due to his sudden resignation as the 17th President of The Ohio State University on March 9, 2026. He resigned after disclosing an “inappropriate relationship” with podcaster, Krisanthe Vlachos. The relationship was reportedly brought to the university’s Board of Trustees’ attention by an anonymous source who does not work for the institute. It prompted an executive session, during which Ted Carter made bombshell disclosures and informed them of his decision to resign.
In a public statement, Ted admitted that he “made a mistake in allowing inappropriate access to Ohio State leadership” to Krisanthe, which is why he stepped down from his position. Notably, Ted Carter had only been in the role since January 1, 2024. His original contract was set to run through 2028. He is the third president to leave the university since 2020, following Kristina Johnson and Michael Drake. It has led to calls for a more transparent hiring process. Amid the professional controversy surrounding Ted, here’s a look at his personal life involving his wife, Lynda Carter.
