Report blasts Michigan State’s handling of sex cases
By COREY WILLIAMS
January 30, 2019
DETROIT (AP) — Michigan State University’s failure to detect and stop sexual assaults by now-imprisoned sports doctor Larry Nassar indicates a lack of institutional control, according to a U.S. Department of Education report.
The nearly 50-page program review report is dated Dec. 14, 2018, and was prepared by the Education Department’s Federal Student Aid office. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report from Michigan State via email on Wednesday.
The report accuses the East Lansing school of being out of compliance in areas under the Clery Act, which requires universities participating in student aid programs under Title IV to provide the campus community with information about public safety issues.
Hundreds of girls and women said Nassar sexually molested them while he worked for Michigan State and Indiana-based USA Gymnastics. Nassar, who admitted molesting some of the nation’s top gymnasts for years under the guise of medical treatment, is now serving decades-long prison sentences for sexually assaulting patients and possessing child pornography.
Eleven girls and women who told university officials or campus security about the assaults are listed in the report.
