Former MSU dean William Strampel loses appeal of misconduct in office conviction
Former MSU dean William Strampel loses appeal of misconduct in office convictionWilliam Strampel, the former dean of Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine and the first university official convicted in the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal, has lost an appeal of his felony conviction.
Strampel, Nassar’s former boss, was convicted by a jury in 2019 of misconduct in office, a felony, of making sexually-charged comments to women who sought academic help from him.
He was also convicted of two misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty for his failure to properly supervise Nassar, charges he did not appeal, and he was acquitted of a second-degree criminal sexual conduct charge.
Prosecutors claimed Strampel used his role as dean to take advantage of female students and make sexually inappropriate comments when he met privately with them to discuss academic issues. For instance, he allegedly told one woman she needed to “dress sexier” to make it in medicine. Some students perceived his comments as offers of help in exchange for sexual favors. Still others alleged that Strampel said he knew women who “put out” for older men for gifts.
