맥스카지노The last year and a half has been very difficult for the victims of Larry Nassar, for the university community, and for me personally,맥스카지노 began the message. 맥스카지노To the survivors, I can never say enough that I am so sorry that a trusted, renowned physician was really such an evil, evil person who inflicted such harm under the guise of medical treatment.

She went on to say that initially she planned to retire in 2016 but the transition was postponed when Nassar was fired and the investigation began.
Simon also said, 맥스카지노As tragedies are politicized, blame is inevitable. As president, it is only natural that I am the focus of this anger. I understand, and that is why I have limited my personal statements.맥스카지노
In addition to Simon맥스카지노s statement, the MSU Board of Trustees sent a confirmation saying they accepted her resignation.
Simon is stepping down in the wake of a scandal involving Larry Nassar, who worked at Michigan State as a medical doctor. Nassar was sentenced Wednesday to 40 to 175 years in prison for molesting young girls and women under the guise of medical treatment.
Many of the victims accused the university of mishandling past complaints about Nassar.
Simon, who earned her doctorate at Michigan State in 1974, was promoted to school president in 2005.
