Former McDonald’s President, CEO Joins OSU Fraternity
From the 3/9/11 issue of The Lantern
After dropping out of Ohio State, Ed Rensi, president and CEO of the McDonald’s Corp. and new member of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, made less than $100 a week at his first McDonald’s job.
Rensi told The Lantern he started school at Ohio State in 1966 and began working two full-time jobs on top of his schoolwork after receiving news that his wife was pregnant with their daughter, Marcy. His grades were slipping, and his counselor suggested that he drop out of school before he was kicked out.
