A state House inquiry found that Michigan State University did not protect its students from convicted sex offender Larry Nassar. He’s the former MSU sports doctor who sexually assaulted patients for years under the guise of treatment.
Lawmakers say Larry Nassar was able to exploit multiple loopholes in MSU’s policies.
The House inquiry also found that the school botched an internal investigation into Nassar.
Now members of the inquiry say they plan to focus on writing legislation to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.
Republican Representative Klint Kesto is one of the leads of the investigation.
“Ultimately, we’re trying to do the best that we can with the information that we have.”
Lawmakers came up with about three dozen recommendations. Those include requiring an outside investigation when there are multiple Title IX complaints against an employee. And requiring universities let a third-party make sure they’re following Title IX protocol.
