EAST LANSING, Mich. — The former Michigan State University president accused of lying about her knowledge of allegations against sports doctor Larry Nassar is getting about $2.5 million as part of a retirement package and agreed not to sue the school, it was announced Tuesday. The agreement does not appear to address how the pending criminal case could affect the terms of the agreement other than public recognition of her emeritus status being potentially withheld if she is convicted and that conviction survives all appeals.
“Our campus community is continuing its healing, and the Board of Trustees feel the retirement of Dr. Simon is best for the university,” said Dianne Byrum, chairwoman of the university’s governing body, in a statement.Dr. Samuel Stanley Jr., a medical researcher who has led Stony Brook University in New York for nearly a decade, was named the school’s next president earlier this year and officially starts this week.
Crime pays.
Only in America do we pay bad people to go away.
the driver of a car involved in a bank robbery is as culpable as the robber. i see no difference, except, in this example, the bank robber & driver are angels
This should surprise no one.
This is teaches people that dishonesty does pay, what is her penalty for failing as a leader, failing her students, and their families!?
Isn't that wonderful
adonsports What the what, I thought this was a pic of Steve Bannon
Another of the so many reasons college tuition is so high.
she does not look happy..is she alive?
Such a deal!
Hope she spends it asap........ once she gets to Hell it will never make up for for her pathetic and despicable behavior.
FHRITP
She should hang her head in shame! But she won’t!👎🙁
barr Is that you👀👀
real_farmacist It sickens me how if you’re a criminal or a pedophiler, rapist, money launderer, traitor to our country, you get paid and I wonder since were on the subject how much does a Russian troll make to screw up our Twitter and Facebook look into that and get back to the public!
This makes no sense at all. She is being rewarded for doing nothing about the scandal that has touched literally so many who filed complaints against Dr Larry Nassau for sexual abuse and never were demanded a real and thorough investigation in this matter💥
Disgusting.
Victims need to sue her
How is that possible...only in liberal America could this be happening? WTH! 🤦🏻♀️🤭
Is it just me or does she look like William Barr with lipstick. 😂
Disgraceful.
What !?!?!?!?!
It should ALL go to the victims she allowed to continue being abused.
immoral benefit
🚮
She shouldn’t get any money she should be in jail for neglecting to report what she was going on!!!!
Wrong
That’s a she? Yikes.
Must be a liberal slap on thd wrist
Sue for it back
The package is probably not including the clauses about how to change in this situation. So honor the package is not unreasonable
real_farmacist Hopefully some of the victims can get part or all of it!
She deserves it
I wonder why there’s a student debt crisis
I wonder why college is so expensive? 🤔
Please tell me this isn't true. What a disgrace she gets to PROFIT off of all the women she ALLOWED to be sexually assaulted. She should be in JAIL
UNBELIEVABLE
Disgusting.
This sends a vomit-inducing message to every red-blooded American- Bad behaviour will be rewarded. It's like the convicted Dr. Nassar being honored by the American Medical Association. Ugh!
No!
Ugh. Okay, too much no matter what. But, if it's true that she had knowledge, prior, then this is REALLY disgusting! More disgusting than the obscene amount that they seem to think is an appropriate retirement pkg. Ick! (I'm from MI)
Sick witch
And we wonder why student debt has s so high?
Soon to be eaten away by legal fees
infinite_scream
And to top it off she looks like Bill Barr.
👀 how currupted this 💩 is?
MAGA=lying pays bigly
Say it with me now.... civil suit.
Fraud pays in 2019
“Public service”
And with this adjudication they still wont get any closer to paying the players and yet continue to remind them that all they are to these colleges are grist to the exploitation mill. It’s disgusting. It should be illegal. These administrators are scum.
She should be in prison
WTF ACLU
That’s hair cut money.
I'm sure she really learned her lesson with this. Pitiful.
How’s that for accountability?
Is this a great country or what?
Won’t last long if victims sue her.
Nothing exceeds the greed of those in academia.
SHUT. IT. DOWN
the old Golden Parachute retirement plan. she, along with the others that covered up for him, should be in jail.
That’s tenure for ya!
🤮🤮🤮🤮
That's a lot of nuts!
Thought that was a man tbh
Wtf
Disgusting, but it was probably in her contract. Still, she was awful and she be in jail.
Disgusting. She ought to be sharing a cell with Jeffrey...
Should be illegal.
Of course she did!
