Here's just the start of an article from the Lansing State Journal (by Beth LeBlanc 2/24/17) on the Michigan State- Nassar case. 5 Michigan St staffers discouraged athletes from 'acting on their concerns'. 5!!
(Paging Lou Anna Simon regarding the atmosphere she's apparently created at MSU).
Even with that, notice a difference in approach by the Michigan Attorney General as opposed to the Pennsylvania AG?
"LANSING -- While civil court filings allege that at least five MSU staffers discouraged athletes from acting on their concerns about Dr. Larry Nassar's medical treatments, so far none of those allegations have surfaced as criminal charges.
It’s unclear whether any charges might be brought or who would prosecute them.
In his news conference on Wednesday, Attorney General Bill Schuette ceded that issue to the university itself.
“Our job is reviewing the criminal actions of Larry Nassar, period,” Schuette said after announcing 22 additional sexual assault charges against the fired doctor who is at the center of a national controversy involving mistreatment of athletes from USA Gymnastics, MSU and a local gym.
At least twice
during the news conference, Schuette referred questions regarding the conduct of other university employees to MSU’s internal investigation team and to Patrick Fitzgerald, a private practice attorney hired by MSU to assist the university during the investigations.........."
So, when asked about 5 Michigan State employees discouraging victims from "acting on their concerns" (i.e. going to the police), the Michigan AG says he's just concerned about "Larry Nassar, period" and he doesn't really want to hear questions on MSU staffers- take them to the MSU administration.
