Record $4.5 Million Fine on Michigan State University

Epoch Times: Michigan State University (MSU) was fined a record $4.5 million for its systematic failure to protect students in wake of the abuse scandal involving the school’s former sports doctor, Larry Nassar, the U.S. Department of Education announced on Sept. 5.

MSU was ordered by the department to make “major changes” following two separate investigations—one by the office of Federal Student Aid and the other by the Office for Civil Rights—under the direction of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

Nassar, who’s also the former doctor of the USA Gymnastics national team, was accused of sexual abuse by more than 350 women. The scandal had earlier led to resignations of top officials at Michigan State, including the school’s former president. The university agreed in May to pay $425 million to 332 of Nassar’s victims and to set aside another $75 million for any future plaintiffs. more here

  1. The taxpayers should sue to recover all the money paid out in salaries and fringe benefits to the administrators of the University who failed in their oversight responsibilities!
