The University of Michigan is replacing the law firm pegged to lead the investigation into allegations that a deceased team doctor molested hundreds of people.
FILE - This undated file photo provided by the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan shows Dr. Robert E. Anderson. A University of Michigan hotline has received more than 100 “unique complaints” about Dr. Anderson, a late physician accused of sexual abuse by former patients, including athletes who encountered him as a team doctor, the school announced Friday, Feb. 28, 2020. He died in 2008.
The Ann Arbor school will find another firm to continue the university's own investigation into claims against Dr. Robert E. Anderson after becoming aware that attorneys in another branch of the multinational Steptoe & Johnson firm"once represented prominent clients ... accused of sexual misconduct,” according to a Saturday statement from the university's board of regents and President Mark Schlissel.
Among those criticizing the university's selection of Steptoe & Johnston was John Manly, who represents more than 50 Anderson accusers.
