EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State's board of trustees held a public meeting Friday afternoon to introduce an acting president and try to change the tone it has taken with sexual assault victims in the past.
Chairman Brian Breslin asked state attorney general Bill Schuette to appoint an independent third party to investigate the school as soon as possible to see if any other employees at Michigan State were complicit in allowing serial sexual predator Larry Nassar to abuse girls and young women on campus for nearly two decades. Each of the eight trustees read statements in the meeting expressing regret for the way the university has responded to the survivors of convicted serial sexual predator Larry Nassar.
