University of Michigan officials violated federal law by putting students at increased risk of sexual assault, harassment and emotional trauma in the wake of a molestation scandal involving former university physician Robert Anderson, according to a federal class-action lawsuit filed Thursday.

As reported by The Detroit NewsUM junior Josephine Graham filed the lawsuit and demanded that the university implement policies and procedures to prevent and respond to sexual violence on campus. Those policies could include a court-appointed watchdog to oversee reforms such as background checks for new doctors, training for employees about how to identify sexual assault and a tracking system to handle sexual assault reports, according to the lawsuit.
