OT: More MSU scandal - Strampel was reprimanded in 2005, and kept getting renewed
Just when you thought it was done, they strike again! The Freep (warning!) has a story about Strampel (Nassar's former boss) having been reprimanded for vulgar and inappropriate comments and otherwise poor conduct in 2005. He was then renewed as Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine. He was also renewed several other times through the years, despite additional complaints from schools and administrators. Kritsen Zayko, MSU's General Counsel (then a member of the GC office), documented the meeting with Strampel:
Instead of taking tough action against Strampel, now facing a hearing as MSU tries to strip him of tenure to fire him, the trio of administrators decided to simply place a letter in Strampel's personnel file, documenting the talk. They also got verbal promises from Strampel that he would change.
Clearly, he didn't change behavior...
Also, Zayko just resigned her post with this comment:
First and foremost, I am sorry that anyone has been assaulted, abused or harassed on this campus. When I was a student here, too many victims of assault and harassment were afraid to report or seek help. I am grateful to every survivor who has come forward to tell their story. You should continue to push and challenge this university until real culture change occurs.
The bolded sentence is the shocker. So, as a student, she was aware that assault was a problem that kids were scared to report. What did she do about that long standing problem when she had the perfect opportunity to help? Nothing.
Burn MSU to the ground, please...
you want MSU to hire from a different school?? Even .... scUM!?!?!?!
Very bad! We are MSU! We don't need some arrogant asses from other schools to tell us what to do!

In a related story, Trustee Brian Mosallam admitted that MSU has a cultural problem and made a proposal for, among other things, a new independent investigation.
Here was Joel Ferguson's response, according to ESPN's Dan Murphy.
Fellow trustee Joel Ferguson says he's aware of Mosallam's proposal. When asked if he agreed with Mosallam's thoughts, Ferguson said: "If I can’t say anything good about someone I won’t say anything... If something came from him I’m going to go play golf right now. Goodbye."
Ferguson is at the top of the list of toxic MSU assholes who are contemptuous of the victims and in denial about the endemic, systemic problems there.
Which leads me to strongly suspect that Joel Ferguson himself has things to hide.
As my dad used to say, Ferguson is "storto."

If inbreeding was good enough for the Habsburgs, it's good enough for the Spartans.
"Just when you thought it was done"? No, I don't think anyone outside East Lansing thinks that, and even there it's only a dim hope. The rest of us know it's only chickens coming home to roost, one or two at a time. There are a lot more yet to land.
none of the additional investigations (beyond Nassar) are completed are they?
None of the lawsuits have been settled yet.
Lot left to happen here.
At this point they can't even bring in an outsider to salvage face. They ought to burn down the whole Board of Trustees and start fresh. They won't, of course.
Dantonio said he'd put him in Redlock.
Izzo said he couldn't recall any details.
Engler said he's a man of high integrity.
it will take Engler and the think tank to spin a response to this one.
I mean seriously, how low of a piece of shit do you have to be to continue to justify/cover up that hell hole?
8,400 incoming freshmen?
Wow....that's a LOT of rape whistles and stun guns they'll have to buy to put into the anti-rape kits for the co-eds, isn't it?
"us"
Until anything substantial happens, MSU is just setting a precedent for justifying horror. They need to be forced to pay on every institutional level, and especially athletics, until they can get their act together.
It seems that MSU reprimands aren't worth the paper they're written on.
