Michigan State University general counsel Robert Young Jr. says the school has filed a Title IX report and has asked the university police department to look into new allegations by a former field hockey player that she was drugged and raped by MSU sports doctor Larry Nassar in early 1992, and that school officials covered it up.

The claim, made in a lawsuit filed earlier this week, includes allegations that MSU officials—including current trustee George Perles—were made aware of the rape but did not follow Title IX protocol to report it. The suit also claims the field hockey coach who reported it to Perles was told to resign, and the victim was stripped of her scholarship.
