The attorney for a student suing Michigan State University says campus counselors discouraged her client from reporting an alleged rape by three basketball players. Karen Truszkowski says her client went to the Counseling Center a few days after the incident in April of 2015, but was deterred from reporting by staff counselors.

 

The basketball players are not named in the suit.
