. . CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE : CHILDREN : SPORTS PARTICIPATION : COLLEGE ATHLETES : UNITED STATES OLYMPICS : MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY: Michigan States $500 Million for Nassar Victims Dwarfs Other Settlements . . Michigan States $500 Million for Nassar Victims Dwarfs Other Settlements By Mitch Smith and Anemona Hartocollis May 16, 2018 New York Times https://tinyurl.com/y9jexcuf . . Victims of Lawrence G. Nassar, the Michigan State University physician who sexually abused young women under the guise of medical treatment, would receive $500 million from the university in a settlement that is believed to be the largest ever reached in a sexual abuse case involving an American university. . It dwarfed the size of the settlement reached in the sex abuse scandal at Pennsylvania State University. And it was larger than many of the settlements that followed the child sex abuse crisis in the Roman Catholic Church. . I think the number being so large sends a message that is undeniable, that something really terrible happened here and that Michigan State owns it, said John Manly, a lawyer for many of the 332 women who sued the university over abuse by Dr. Nassar. When you pay half a billion dollars, its an admission of responsibility. . Women who say they were abused by Dr. Nassar still have lawsuits against U.S.A. Gymnastics, the United States Olympic Committee and others, and the settlement with Michigan State could add pressure in those cases. The settlement by Michigan State, a public university that is the states largest, also sent a loud warning to other colleges about the potentially devastating cost of ignoring misconduct. . The agreement comes as officials at the University of Southern California are under fire for failing to report a gynecologist who faced allegations of misconduct for decades, and as other colleges find themselves grappling with a growing number of sexual abuse and assault complaints over the last few years. By late Wednesday, officials at U.S.C. said they had received about 85 complaints about George Tyndall, the gynecologist. . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .
