Ohio State's new University Hospital welcomed its first patients over the weekend as over 100 protesters demanded that Les Wexner's name be removed from it.

State of play: The debate over the billionaire donor's naming rights likely isn't going anywhere, amid renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The university has received nearly 300 new formal requests to remove Wexner's name from its buildings, spokesperson Ben Johnson told Axios yesterday.
The requests remain "under review."
