Sexual abuse scandal offers Michigan a chance to be leader and expose the truth — all of it

Michael Connelly, Robert Stone and JP DesCamp talk to the media about the alleged sexual abuse by former U of M doctor Robert Anderson Detroit Free Press

The University of Michigan enabled a sexual predator by shipping him from its health system to its athletic department. Then covered up years of more abuse while he operated inside the athletic department.

The story of Dr. Robert Anderson’s assault of more than 100 students, athletes and regular-practice patients is astonishing. That it hasn’t grabbed the attention of our national consciousness is more so.

Maybe it’s that we’re numb to stories of sexual predators and universities, especially after Larry Nassar’s reign of terror at Michigan State.
