Michigan Contacting Thousands About Medical Abuse

Paul Steinbach Headshot

The University of Michigan is contacting nearly 7,000 former student-athletes who were on campus during the tenure of Dr. Robert Anderson and asking them to speak with investigators if they were sexually abused by him, or know anything pertinent to an external investigation of the late Wolverine team physician, according to The Detroit News.

Athletic director Warde Manuel, who was a UM student-athlete, will send a letter to every former student-athlete who was on campus from the mid-1960s to the early 2000s. Anderson, who has been accused publicly and in lawsuits of conducting sexually inappropriate and unnecessary physical exams, worked at the university from 1968-2003 and died in 2008.
