The University of Michigan continues to come under fire for its handling of reports of sexual abuse from former school doctor Robert Anderson. The WilmerHale law firm released a lengthy and detailed report on Tuesday afternoon that further illustrates how Michigan handled allegations of abuse during Anderson’s employment from 1966 to 2003.

U-M hired WilmerHale last spring to run an investigation of the allegations against Anderson. The firm interviewed over 300 former patients and 200-plus employees during its investigation as they put together their report.
