Larry Nassar, convicted of abusing female athletes, reportedly stabbed in prison
But the lawsuit filed Thursday against Michigan State and trustees alleges that the board held illegal secret votes and made decisions in private to hide their position on whether to release thousands of pages of documents. According to the complaint, many people, including victims, advocates and legislators, have since 2018 been demanding greater transparency to learn more about who at the university may have known about the abuse, but trustees have not provided the information.
Von Frank said her daughter was first assaulted by Nassar when she was 12 years old. For all the people harmed by Nassar, von Frank said, “everybody just needs to know that MSU has been truthful about whether the people that enabled this to happen have been held in some way accountable.”A spokesman for Michigan State, Mark Bullion, said the university does not comment on pending litigation, and that they have not seen or been served with the lawsuit.
Michigan’s attorney general, Dana Nessel, sent a letter to the university’s board of trustees in April asking that the “Nassar documents” be released to her office, according to the complaint. Some trustees had promised victims that documents would be released, according to Azzam Elder, attorney for the plaintiffs.
"We recognize that MSU is a continual site of trauma for survivors,” she said, and pledged to “facilitate a healing culture.”
