Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon released a two-minute video Wednesday evening in which she thanked the women who have accused former athletic department doctor Larry Nassar and members of the school's football team of sexual assault for sharing details of those events.
Simon also thanked the university community for its patience while the school and police investigate the various charges and allegations. She announced a new website that will provide more information and frequent updates about the ongoing investigations.
"This is a difficult time and it's been troubling for many, particularly for Spartans," she said in the video.
