WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
SO LONG - The third lawyer to run Michigan State University’s legal department in the last year is out. Sue Reisinger reports that GC Robert Young Jr. has been ousted as the school continues to reel from the sex abuse scandal involving Larry Nassar, the doctor for the USA Gymnastics who worked at the school. Young, a former Dickinson Wright lawyer who was let go without cause, oversaw the school’s $500 million settlement involving more than 300 Nassar victims who sued the school. Previous heads of the legal department, working at the time of the scandal, were pressured to leave. Critics had objected to Young’s hiring, partly because he had written legal opinions on cases in which he refused to hold a company or a government entity liable for rape or sexual abuse by employees.
