EAST LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – After years of dragging its feet in the name of “attorney-client privilege,” the Michigan State University Board of Trustees voted to release more long-sought documents from its investigations of convicted sex abuser Larry Nassar.
The documents will be turned over to the office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. MSU is redacting certain portions for personal privacy, HIPPA, and court orders.

For the last four years, MSU’s board refused to turn over thousands of documents tied to Nassar. This investigation has revolved around when and what what the university knew about Nassar’s behavior
Earlier this year, a group of survivors and parents sued MSU, accusing the trustees of making “secret decisions.”
Nassar is serving life in prison for sexually abusing hundreds of female athletes over the course of decades.
MSU appears to be trying to keep its head above water with these types of cases. In September, interim president Teresa Woodruff told the press it’s time for “a new MSU” as she referenced then head football coach Mel Tucker’s suspension for sexual harassment. He was later fired.
