DETROIT (AP) Michigan State University board trustee Brian Mosallam is asking interim school president John Engler to resign immediately.
Mosallam released a statement Friday morning, saying the crisis on campus related to Larry Nassar will not settle until Engler steps down.
According to emails, Engler has criticized lawyers who represent Nassars assault victims and suggested the first woman to go public with her accusations was probably getting a kickback from her attorney.
His remarks were made to another university official in April, a month before Michigan State agreed to a $500 million settlement with hundreds of women and girls who said they were sexually assaulted by Nassar, a former campus sports doctor now serving decades in prison.
