Engler fights to limit the scope of new sexual abuse legislation.

Submitted by Ramblin on

Just when you thought the Fight'n Larry Nassars couldn't stoop any lower, the president of the university decides to fight against legislation designed to help victims of sexual abuse.

Then, when one of the victims criticises this, an MSU spokesperson replies with this little gem:  "I think it would be inappropriate for somebody to try to cast an opinion on something they know nothing about."

Rachel Denhollander was the victim he was referring to as "somebody."  Although this statement would be tone deaf if Denhollander was a lowly ditch digger/victim of sexual abuse, to add to the stupidity, Denhollander is a lawyer with a background in public policy.  

I have now seen it all.  I'm amazed that this isn't a larger story right now.  The government must have put some sort of a gag order on it?

This has to be the most brazen, shameless behavior I have ever seen from an institute of higher learning.  They are no longer even bothering to pretend that they give a shit about anything other than saving money/face.  They are actively attacking victims.
