While experts say there's no prohibition against school leaders knowing the status of an ongoing sexual harassment investigation, Michigan State University officials decided not to stay abreast of emerging details in the case against football coach Mel Tucker, a university official said Tuesday.
Interim MSU President Teresa Woodruff and the university's board released a statement and made comments this week acknowledging that she and the board were notified in December that a complaint had been made against Tucker, but no specific details were given, including the identity of the accuser, as part of university protocols and best practices for Title IX and Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct-related cases.
