Citing Epstein Ties, Wexner Union Demands Leslie Wexner’s Name be Dropped from Art Center

Members of the Wexner Center for the Arts union, Wexner Workers United, have formally demanded that Ohio State University remove Leslie Wexner's name from the art center. In a letter posted on Instagram, the union cites Wexner's documented ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, noting his name appears over 1,300 times in Department of Justice files. The union argues that the connection meets the university's criteria for renaming, and that staff face daily harassment while artists refuse to collaborate due to the Epstein association.
