[h=1]Reports: Michigan State president Lou Anna Simon expected to step down this week[/h]
The news was first reported by The State News, a Michigan State student newspaper.


The board of trustees met again Wednesday to discuss ongoing litigation in civil suits related to the Nassar case that list the university as a co-defendant. The board also plans to meet Friday morning for a work session that won't be open to the public. It's not clear yet what will be on the agenda for that meeting.

back to the civil suit:

A Michigan State University Title IX investigator withheld key findings of a report on a 2014 sexual harassment complaint against Larry Nassar, providing less information to the victim in the case.

Kristine M. Moore, now MSU’s assistant general counsel, authored the dual reports, obtained by The Detroit News on Friday. In the one given to the victim, Moore cleared Nassar of sexual harassment. In the other report, which was sent to MSU and marked confidential, Moore also cleared Nassar but warned of his liability to the university.

MSU spokesman Jason Cody said it was standard practice for the Title IX investigator to convey recommendations to the appropriate MSU personnel in an internal version of the report.

Reports of sexual misconduct by Nassar reached at least 14 Michigan State University representatives in the two decades before his arrest, with no fewer than eight women reporting his actions. Among those notified was Simon, as well as athletic trainers, assistant coaches, a university police detective and an official who is now MSU’s assistant general counsel.

MSU has been under federal monitoring for violating Title IX in the handling of sexual assault cases on campus.

Nassar victim describes 'eerie' environment at Karolyi Ranch
https://www.lansingstatejournal.com...s-eerie-environment-karolyi-ranch/1058354001/

A decorated gymnast recounted the “eerie” environment at a USA Gymnastics training site during the sentencing for former Michigan State University doctor Larry Nassar Tuesday.

The Karolyi Ranch in Huntsville, Texas has been used for many years as a training site for U.S. Olympic gymnasts, and has been mentioned by several gymnasts during Nassar’s sentencing as a location where they were assaulted.

Last week, USA Gymnastics announced the camp would no longer serve as the National Training Center.


So many red flags.

Heartbreaking. We should be holding the karolyis responsible for the abusive environment as well.
 
To my fellow posters who are following this case: DH and I are leaving for a cruise tomorrow. It might be difficult for me to keep up with breaking news, and I would appreciate your sharing as I will check in here daily. :tyou: I know about the Eaton County sentencing on January 31 but can't be sure I'll get live stream on the laptop somewhere in the Caribbean.

Have a wonderful time!
 
Narcissistic Brainwashing: How Larry Nassar Thinks
https://blogs.psychcentral.com/narcissism/2018/01/narcissistic-brainwashing-how-larry-nassar-thinks/

All your life, you think one way. Your family is fine. Normal. Apparently, love hurts. But you stay because your family convinced you that strangers would hurt, abuse and rape you.

Then one memorable day, you discovered narcissism. And everything changed. Everything. You rethought every relationship, every event, everything your family ever said or did. Your isolation. All your gut instincts, intuitions and hunches.


Larry Nassar is at an extreme narcissist at heart, a malignant narcissist.

This applies with Jerry Sandusky, Jimmy Savile, Harvey Weinstein, David and Louise Turpin, Charles Manson, Shoko Asahara, Marshall Applewhite, Credonia Mwerinde and Joseph Kibweteere, Jim Jones, Osama bin Laden, Abubakar Shekau, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Idi Amin, Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong-Il, Kim Jong-Un, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong.
 
Special prosecutor to probe 'systemic issues with sexual misconduct' at Michigan State
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-sexual-misconduct-michigan-state/1072105001/

LANSING, Michigan — Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette on Saturday announced a special prosecutor to investigate "systemic issues with sexual misconduct at Michigan State."

William Forsyth, a retired Kent County prosecutor, will serve as the independent special prosecutor, Schuette said. The Michigan State Police will also provide assistance with any criminal issues that arise as part of the investigation, he said.


A special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate Michigan State University. This has far ramification.
 
NCAA president Mark Emmert was alerted to Michigan State sexual assault reports in 2010
https://theathletic.com/223555/2018...ichigan-state-sexual-assault-reports-in-2010/

Though the NCAA has announced its intention to open an investigation into Michigan State’s athletic department, it remains unclear what exactly the purview of the investigation would be.

And, more importantly, why it’s taken so long to get involved.

NCAA president Mark Emmert was specifically alerted in November 2010 — six months after he was hired as the organization's president — to 37 reports involving Michigan State athletes sexually assaulting women.


Not sure if the NCAA should be investigating in light of what happened with Michigan State.
 
Wow, these young women were shoved aside and made to feel horrible every step of the way, with many, many different agencies and people.

There are so many layers of hurt and disgust with this.

I'm appalled.

I spend many days in the gym and this weekend at their meet. I have to force myself not to think of it so I don't literally throw up.
 
And in a case of the fox guarding the hen house....

Betsy DeVos Rolled Back Title IX Protections Two Days After Hanging Out With MSU President

..."Amid all those horrible details and all the broader malpractice, one strangeness stands out. It’s a meeting that former Michigan State president Lou Anna Simon had with Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and where that meeting fell relative to when DeVos’ federal agency rolled back rules mandating that universities had to investigate (as well as try to prevent) sexual assault and gender violence."

..."as Simon continues to express shock at her institution’s repeated failure to stop convicted serial abuser Larry Nassar, that she had no problem openly aligning herself with a woman who has some pretty crazy ideas about education, and always said she would gut Title IX. It’s notable, but it might not be surprising. Simon, after all, let the DeVos family donate more than $10 million for a university research building at Michigan State."

[FONT=&quot]Larry Nassar is set to appear in front of Eaton County Circuit Court Judge Janice Cunningham on Wednesday for his sentencing hearing on the three counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct he pleaded guilty to last year.

[FONT=&quot]The House will take up a bill on Monday which, if implemented, will require that allegations and incidents of sexual abuse of minor and amateur athletes be reported to be authorities. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The bill would create an organization within the US Olympic Committee that would be responsible for receiving and handling inquiries and reports about abuse, and making sure that allegations are promptly reported to law enforcement when necessary, or resolved internally. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It would ensure that law enforcement is contacted within 24 hours for certain kinds of incidents, and make training mandatory.[/FONT]

Wowza. Twistars coach John Geddert required his female gymnasts to see only Nassar for their injuries, but the male gymnasts could see any doctor they wanted. Geddert and Nassar had a 'best friends' relationship.
 
:tyou: for the updates.

OT: Have had to pinch myself twice for saying, "It's too hot!" :D Sunny and 75* in Bahamas. Celebrating my birthday (1/27) with special dinner tonight :toastred:

The investigation will be led by Bill Forsyth, a veteran prosecutor from Kent County, Michigan, with 42 years of experience who was named as the special independent counsel. Michigan State Police director Col. Kriste Etue, her team and a team of prosecutors from the attorney general’s office will assist in the investigation.

“I’ve been doing this for a long time and I have never seen anything like this,” Forsyth told CNN.

Schuette said this investigation is “priority one” for him and his office.

“No individual and no department at Michigan State University is off-limits,” he added. “Too many voices of too many victims had been unheard for too long.”

As far back as 1997, athletes began telling multiple MSU officials, including the university's longtime gymnastics coach, that Nassar was assaulting them under the guise of medical treatment. Several survivors of Nassar's abuse excoriated Simon and Michigan State during Nassar's sentencing hearing in recent days, repeatedly saying that MSU's inaction allowed Nassar to continue abusing scores of young girls and women.
