Top leaders at Michigan State University today offered apologies to victims of sexual assaults by a sports doctor who was on the faculty. They also created a 10 (m) million dollar fund to pay for counseling and
other services.
The 150 thousand dollar raise will go to a scholarship fund.
Simon, who is resisting calls for her to step down, apologized to girls and woman who were abused by Doctor Larry Nassar.
“I am truly sorry for the abuse you suffered, the pain it’s caused, and the pain it continues to cause today.”
“Today’s apology is not enough and comes too late.”
A tearful Kaylee Lorincz was one of several victims who addressed the board meeting.
She and other survivors say MSU officials ignored complaints and warnings for years that Nassar was a predator. The university faces multiple lawsuits filed by survivors and their families.
