126 Nassar victims sign letter urging Engler to resign MSU presidency

Criticizing John Engler's "abhorrent behavior," more than 120 victims of Larry Nassar have signed a letter Tuesday urging the Michigan State University Board of Trustees to replace the interim president.

The 126 "sister survivors" -- who include Olympian Aly Raisman, and Rachael Denhollander, the first Nassar victim to publicly accuse him of sexual abuse -- are joining two MSU trustees as well numerous Republican and Democratic lawmakers in calling for Engler's ouster.

"While our hope had been that President Engler would bring accountability, transparency, and change to MSU, it is clear to us that he cannot," said the four-page letter.
