Michigan State University was expected on Friday to have turned over some 45,000 pages of documents to investigators at the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, with more to come on “a rolling basis,” according to a letter from the university’s attorneys to investigators.

Meanwhile, lawmakers on Friday gave the university until Wednesday to hand over documents in their own investigation into how MSU officials responded to Larry Nassar scandal.

According to a letter penned by attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and posted online by the university, among some 20,000 pages to be turned over Friday to the Attorney General’s Office were:
• University investigatory files related to former MSU physician and convicted sexual abuser Larry Nassar and other MSU employees,
• Personnel files for employees involved in the Nassar case,
• Policies for MSU doctors and the university’s sexual misconduct policies,
• Organizational charts, and
• Nassar-related documents that MSU has released through the state’s Freedom of Information Act.
