University of Michigan Hit by Second #MeToo Scandal in a Month
The University of Michigan is investigating “disturbing and very serious” sexual-misconduct allegations made against a former athletic team physician, the school announced Wednesday.
The review concerns Robert E. Anderson, who also served as director of University Health Service, which provides health care to the general student population, during his time at the campus from 1968 through 2003, when he retired. He died in 2008, according to a statement from the school.
Michigan has hired law firm Steptoe & Johnson to conduct an independent review of the allegations, which were brought to the university’s attention in July 2018 when a former student-athlete revealed them in a letter titled “My Michigan Me-too Moment, 1971” to Athletic Director Warde Manuel.
