Survivors, community make final plea for MSU to release 6,000 document investigation into Nassar – Jared Ramsey

With March 26, approaching quickly, survivors and the community are making their final pleas for MSU to release the 6,000 documents regarding its investigation of its handling of the Larry Nassar scandal.

On February 24, Attorney General Dana Nessel sent a letter to the Board of Trustees asking them to release the documents to complete the investigation.

According to the letter the Attorney General’s office has explored every legal avenue to obtain the documents. If the documents are not given over, the investigation would have to come to an end without a proper conclusion.

ReclaimMSU, an alliance of MSU community members, sent a letter to MSU asking them to cooperate with Nessel and waive its privilege over the documents.

MSU claims the documents do not have any information that is not already known by the investigators and public.

As far as an update according to the Vice President and University Spokesperson Emily Guerrant, MSU did not have a comment on the resolution itself, and the Board is still discussing the matter.
