EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis announced his retirement Friday, the second university official to step down in as many days amid sharp criticism over the school's handling of sexual abuse allegations against disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar.
Hollis, who had been in the job for 10 years, disclosed the move during a meeting with a small group of reporters on campus.
Michigan State President Lou Anna Simon submitted her resignation late Wednesday, hours after Nassar, a former employee at Michigan State, was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for molesting young girls and women under the guise of medical treatment.
