Report: Michigan missed signs of abusive doctor

Employees in the athletic department and health service department at the University of Michigan missed warning signs and failed to stop the serial sexual misconduct of former school doctor Robert Anderson, according to a report from the WilmerHale law firm released Tuesday afternoon.

The university hired WilmerHale in March 2020 to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against Anderson as well as the response that patients received from other employees when they made complaints about Anderson. Investigators interviewed more than 300 former patients and more than 200 university employees during a 14-month investigation before publishing a 240-page report Tuesday. They found that Anderson engaged in sexual misconduct on "countless occasions" and that authority figures heard specific accusations as well as rumors about Anderson's misconduct but failed to stop him from abusing others.

"We will thoughtfully and diligently review and assess the report's findings, conclusions, and recommendations," university president Mark Schlissel said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. "[A]nd we will work to regain the trust of survivors and to assure that we foster a safe environment for our students, our employees, and our community."

In an effort to provide a layer of independence to the investigation, university leaders were not allowed to review or read WilmerHale's findings prior to the release of the report Tuesday.

Anderson worked at the University of Michigan from 1966 through 2003. During the majority of his time at the school he worked closely with the athletic department, treating athletes' injuries and conducting annual physicals. Hundreds of former patients -- many of them former Wolverine athletes -- now say that Anderson sexually abused and harassed them in a variety of ways during the treatment of routine medical issues. In interviews and court documents, Anderson's former patients say the doctor assaulted them, fondled them and made an array of inappropriate sexual comments, among many other examples of misconduct.

Anderson died in 2008 before the claims of abuse were widely publicized.

The WilmerHale report found eight instances when patients shared concerns about Anderson in some form dating back to the 1960s. They found eight additional instances when athletes say they voiced concerns about Anderson with athletic department personnel. The investigators also found that many other employees were aware of vague rumors about Anderson's conduct.

"We also learned of more than a dozen additional instances in which Athletic Department personnel heard jokes or rumors about Dr. Anderson's examinations, some of which highlighted Dr. Anderson's propensity for performing sensitive examinations for no apparent medically appropriate reason," the report says. "Yet no one in the Athletic Department appears to have recognized what they heard as indicative of abuse or initiated any inquiries into Dr. Anderson's conduct."

More than a half-dozen plaintiffs' law firms have filed civil lawsuits against the university and its leadership on behalf of nearly 900 clients who say they were abused by Anderson. The university said last April that it hoped to develop a process to address claims about Anderson's abuse outside of court in the interest of providing "more certain, faster relief" to survivors. The university has not yet released any details about its proposed process.

Attempts to settle the lawsuits through mediation began last October, but so far those efforts have been fruitless. Other cases in recent years involving university-employed doctors who sexually abused their patients have been settled for large sums of money. Michigan State paid $500 million to settle hundreds of cases related to Nassar's abuse. Southern California paid more than $1 billion in total to settle claims related to former university gynecologist George Tyndall.

Well, they've missed all the signs that their head football coach sucks and that's played out in the light of day...

Just when you start to think "maybe they've been beaten down for so long, they won't shift into summer hype mode".....The DFBIA says "hold my beer. We have a new DC and he's from the S bygod E C"

I expect the absurdity from up north to come fast and furious (see what I did there?) from this point until the games have to be played.

I don't know anything about this new coach, but I say it again...what kind of player/coach worth a damn agrees to sign on with a program in that much turmoil with a HC that is coaching for his life next season and has been swallowed up by negative momentum for a year now? When hiring away Kentucky's secondary coach constitutes a much needed "win" for your program, you ain't doing well...

I guess it isn't unheard of for a new HC to retain some members of the previous staff if they're good, but that's a high wire act...

We have established two facts:
  1. He's better than the guy they lost.
  2. tsun can still just target whoever they want and go take him from a school like UK

Why they didn't go get him in the first place remains one of life's mysteries.

My understanding was they did try to hire him and he rejected them a few months back. They probably had to throw a desperation bag of money at him now.

What remains to be seen is how strong his hashtag game is...we all know that's what really counts up there.

LINGUIST LEAVING SO SOON HURTS
I completely understand why Maurice Linguist left Michigan to become the Buffalo head coach after only about 100 days in Ann Arbor. Being a defensive coordinator at a Power Five school is great but being a head coach is even better and so I do not fault him at all for his decision.

But this is a difficulty for Michigan especially adding in another layer of coaching changes. When I talked to five-star corner Domani Jackson
about possibly visiting Michigan he said there was disappointment that Don Brown and Mike Zordich were gone. Now Linguist is gone as the Wolverines try to stay involved with prospects in Texas and show stability with top prospects like
Walter Nolen
at the top of the 2022 class. I don’t blame Linguist one bit but it’s another hurdle for Michigan to overcome.

We've been close. 2016 went to overtime, we had an injured QB, and there was questionable refereeing. In 2017 we were down to our 3rd choice QB due to injury and had the ball with a chance to tie/lead in the 4th quarter. In 2018 everyone thought we had the better team but Haskins and Day figured out the best way to take advantage of the weakest spots on D. And even 2019 had some weird things - a first quarter fumble from Dobbins bounces back up into his lap, while a bad snap for us gets dropped by Patterson and recovered by OSU.

2015: Ohio State 42, scUM 13
2016: Ohio State 30, scUM 27 (2 OT)
2017: Ohio State 31, scUM 20
2018: Ohio State 62, scUM 39
2019: Ohio State 56, scUM 27
2020: scUM chickened out

So being "close" means a three-point loss in double overtime, and four blowout losses by an average of 23 points. Sounds like an excerpt from a MAC school "moral victory" thread.

Let's not forget that OT loss came against an Ohio State team that played absolutely awful football offensively for 3.5 quarters. They were literally trying to hand those losers the game and they still couldn't get a win.
