Michigan State University has agreed to pay $500 million dollars in compensation to victims of serial abuser Larry Nassar, according to a Californian law firm representing 332 of Nassar’s victims from the university.
Mr Nassar was a team doctor at Michigan State for decades, and the settlement acknowledges a failure on the university’s behalf to properly investigate repeated allegations against Mr Nassar.
The settlement doesn’t address allegations against other organisations for which Mr Nassar worked, such as USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic Committee.
75 million dollars of the settlement is to be held in reserve against future allegations against Mr Nassar and the university.
