"MSU Board Votes Unanimously to Release Long-Awaited Nassar Documents"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Detroit News
The Michigan State University Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the release of long-withheld documents related to the sexual abuse scandal involving Larry Nassar, giving them to Michigan's attorney general. The university had previously claimed attorney-client privilege as the reason for withholding the documents. The release comes after years of lobbying by survivors and their allies, and Attorney General Dana Nessel closed an investigation into MSU due to their refusal to release the documents. Former Attorney General Bill Schuette and current Attorney General Nessel both welcomed the decision, with Schuette calling it an important step towards an open and transparent review of MSU's actions.
