Pressure increasing on MSU to release 6,000 documents related to Nassar
Pressure increasing on MSU to release 6,000 documents related to NassarPressure is mounting on Michigan State University to release the 6,000 documents it has withheld from the Michigan Attorney General’s Office regarding the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal.
On Thursday, a group of 47 lawmakers sent a letter to the MSU Board of Trustees, urging them to release the documents “to help restore trust and faith in the University.”
MSU has withheld the documents from the attorney general’s investigation, saying that they fall under attorney-client privilege.
“The relevance and materiality of the documents should be evaluated and determined by the impartial investigatory team that has gleaned a great deal of information through their interviews and investigatory work over the past three years,” the letter says.
“Full transparency is essential to restoring public trust. We owe it to the survivors, families, students, faculty, employees, and the entire MSU community to have a full, transparent, and impartial investigation completed. You have the opportunity to ensure this happens.”
University officials has turned over thousands of documents to the attorney general’s office, which led to charges against three now-former MSU officials, including ex-university president Lou Anna Simon. The attorney general’s office has asked MSU numerous times to release the remaining 6,000 documents.
“Michigan State University cannot bring justice to survivors and begin to rebuild its tarnished reputation as long as it stonewalls the Michigan Attorney General’s investigation into those who enabled serial pedophile Larry Nassar to abuse hundreds of girls and women,” says the petition, launched by Valerie Von Frank, the mother of Grace French, who identifies publicly as a survivor of Nassar.
