Lawsuit alleges poor living conditions in an Ohio State dorm

The parents of more than 30 Ohio State University students have filed a lawsuit against the university, alleging poor living conditions at a dorm building on its campus. The lawsuit describes the Lawrence Tower, as a ‘toxic time bomb,’ claiming that students living there were becoming sick and experiencing brain fog and respiratory symptoms. According to the lawsuit, students found mushrooms sprouting from the walls and said mold was found in the ceilings and HVAC units. OSU had initially claimed the issues arose from a plumbing leak and only affected 40 rooms before moving students out of Lawrence Tower. The lawsuits argues that the university failed to acknowledge that students were knowingly placed in an unhealthy environment, according to Eyewitness News. The lawsuit is seeking at least $1,000 per student.
