Two lawyers who represented MSU in the aftermath of the Larry Nassar scandal and then left to work in private practice have returned to the university. Now, they investigate sexual harassment and assault reports for the school's Title IX office. https://t.co/GTytAf39C8

Today and always.

Today we honor the memory of students Arielle Anderson, Brian Fraser and Alexandria Verner as well as all affected by the tragedy that occurred on our campus two years ago.

Spartans, I encourage you to take the time and space that you need.

We are Spartans together.

The making of a monster

An in-depth look from @annaliznichols into how William Strampel — former boss of MSU and USA Gymnastics ex-doctor Larry Nassar — escaped accountability for years before finally being convicted of misconduct in office

This bizarre new story may make you rethink a narrative surrounding Larry Nassar's years of unchecked abuse.

I would love to live in a world where reporting does not come with unfair and traumatic consequences.

I would never tell a survivor “don’t report”, but I also can’t in good faith encourage it. Reporting is a personal decision that each survivor needs to make for themselves.

As a society, it is on us to create cultures where survivors can report the harm done to them without upending their entire lives and enduring secondary trauma.

“There are serious concerns about conflicts of interest when universities have powerful boards of trustees, who have economic interests due to their positions w/ large corporations & their interest in maintaining that power & intruding into universities.” https://t.co/6RXNK3AkLM

Joel Ferguson, a mid-Michigan power broker for decades in politics, MSU athletics and development who was always outspoken and often a lightning rod, has died. He was 85. Here is The News' obituary.

Who is on the ballot for MSU trustee? @OwenMcCarthyJRN and I wrote profiles on each of the major candidates (thread below). Too busy to read them? We also compiled this shortened voter guide.

In light of the announcement today that Mike Yankowski, currently the associate director of ethics and compliance for MSU, will assume the role of chief of police and executive director of public safety on Nov. 11… this was also part of his record at LPD.

[ReclaimMSU @ReclaimMSU]

"Yankowski, who retired from LPD after Reed's arrest in 2019, is also named as defendant for a [claimed] failure to properly train and supervise officers... [he] now works as an assistant director of institutional ethics and compliance at Michigan State University..."

[Owen McCarthy @OwenMcCarthyJRN]

In an exclusive interview, MSU leaders told us the university is in a "very different place" compared with where it was during the Nassar scandal.

But, in some areas, they struggled to articulate precisely how.

[Alex Walters @Alex_M_Walters]

We sat down with MSU’s president and other campus leaders who all wanted to say the same thing: the things we found in these documents aren't a reflection of the university today.

At times, though, they struggled to articulate exactly how:
