Thursday was the one year anniversary of Larry Nassar’s sentencing. Reclaim MSU, a group dedicated to changing the culture at the school in the wake of the scandal, gathered on campus to memorialize the day.
A small crowd gathered outside of Michigan State University’s administrative offices Thursday night in blustery and snowy conditions.
Andaluna Borcila, a faculty leader of Reclaim MSU, spoke to the crowd with a megaphone. She says the anniversary is really about commemorating the courage of the survivors.
“In spite of how they have been hurt and betrayed they have kept raising their voices and asking for accountability for leadership and for culture change. They have done this.”
Since the sentencing last year survivors and advocates have been active in pushing for changes at the university.
Now that President John Engler has resigned from the board they’re demanding MSU turn over documents requested by the Attorney General’s office. And, pushing for an open presidential search.
