Investigation found the school failed to take interim measures to protect students while complaints were pending
The US education department is fining Michigan State University (MSU) a record $4.5m and demanding sweeping changes, after determining that it failed to respond to sexual assault complaints against Larry Nassar, a former sports doctor at the school who also worked at
USA Gymnastics.
Nassar has been sentenced to decades in
prison for sexually assaulting athletes, mostly female gymnasts, at Michigan State and a Lansing-area gymnastics club. Former Olympians said he molested them in
Texas and overseas while he worked for USA Gymnastics.
