The University of Michigan announced a $490 million settlement Wednesday with more than 1,000 people who say they were sexually assaulted by a former sports doctor during his nearly four-decade career at the school.
The University of Michigan on Wednesday announced a $490 million settlement in a case that involved more than 1,000 people who said they were sexually assaulted by a formerThe university said mediation led to the deal, specifying 1,050 people will share the financial settlement. It is the latest in several large payouts made by American universities following accusations of repeated sexual abuse by employees.
This undated file photo provided by the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan shows Dr. Robert E. Anderson. "The settlement is going to gloss things over so Michigan can go back to having a glossy block `M’ and look wonderful for the world," DeLuca said, referring to the university's logo. "But the situation on campus is horrible."
The deal came roughly two weeks after a state senator announced new bipartisan legislation that would retroactively give the accusers a 30-day window to sue the school for damages regardless of legal time limits and bar the university from using the government immunity defense. The bills, which were poised for introduction this week, were promoted as a way to provide the victims more certainty and increase pressure on the school for a resolution.
Keith Moree and Robert Stone told reporters Tuesday that the Ann Arbor school is ripe for a culture change as its board conducts a search to permanently replace Schlissel, who was removed Saturday due to an alleged "inappropriate relationship with a university employee."
