Leadership at Michigan State University needs to abandon its adversarial legal approach toward survivors of Larry Nassar and the culture that allowed him to hurt people for so long. Though Interim President John Engler has made some changes, the university’s legal approach has not changed. The current path won’t work — not for MSU and certainly not for the survivors who shouldn’t be dragged through years of litigation.
MSU’s reputation can never be fully restored, but the university can help write the last chapter in this tragedy with a bold change in their legal strategy. Doing so requires breaking the conventional rules and placing the victims’ interests ahead of its own. Hammering survivors in court is wrong. There is another way.
