Ohio State University students and parents are demanding answers and action as mold issues in campus housing continue to jeopardize the health and safety of residents. In response, attorneys Kristina Baehr of Just Well Law and Jedidiah Bressman of Bressman Law are stepping up to empower families with knowledge of their rights and resources.
On Monday, November 25th, these advocates will host a virtual town hall to provide critical information about the dangers of mold exposure, how to document unsafe conditions, and what legal steps can be taken to hold institutions accountable.
This isn’t just about one building—it's about ensuring every student has a safe, healthy space to live and learn. Jedidiah Bressman, a personal injury lawyer, made it clear: mold exposure can have serious health consequences, and universities have a responsibility to be proactive in preventing harm.
Interviewed students discuss how the mold has impacted their ability to learn, saying they've been sick since the second week of school. An inspector came to their room and declared they didn't think it was mold, but photos have been going around of mold in the dorm rooms.
While Ohio State is relocating residents of Lawrence Tower, the university must go further to address the root of the problem, not just for now but for the future. Mold is more than an inconvenience—it’s a health crisis that demands immediate, systemic action. Students and families deserve transparency, safety, and a commitment to change.
