The external investigation into MSU’s handling of two separate incidents of alleged sexual assault has determined that head coach Mark Dantonio acted properly, and in accordance with the university’s procedures.
In both instances the report says that, upon learning of the incidents, Dantonio reported what he knew to the Office of Institutional Equality (OIE), the MSU PD, and “leaders within the athletic department.” He also encouraged the reporting players, those that had brought the incidents to his attention, to cooperate with any subsequent investigations.
However, the report did conclude that one staff member was in violation of MSU’s Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct Policy and was suspended.
