Michigan State University has paid global investigative agency Kroll $3.9 million since February to aid in settling Title IX matters.
According to ESPN.com's Nicole Noren and Paula Lavigne, 25 Title IX investigations have been completed in 2017-18, which is down from 74 during the previous year. Also, cases have taken an average of 120 days to complete, which is a 50 percent increase from 2016-17.
Kroll was hired in the wake of several current and former Michigan State students testifying that former MSU and USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar sexually assaulted them during their time at the school.
