Report: Michigan Failed to Properly Handle Dr. Robert Anderson Abuse Complaints

An investigation determined staff at the University of Michigan failed to stop Dr. Robert Anderson from alleged sexual misconduct on students and athletes for decades despite knowledge of his activities, according to the Associated Press.

"A senior University administrator was told about Dr. Anderson’s misconduct several times between 1978 or 1979 and 1981 but did not take appropriate action," the report from law firm WilmerHale said, via David Jesse of the Detroit Free Press.

Anderson served as the top physician for the University of Michigan football team until his retirement in 2003.
