Those assaults have led to four arrests. In September 2020, EMU announced publicly that it had hired an outside firm to conduct an audit of the Title IX office Werner led there.
By then, Werner had been at MSU about 10 months. The same week as EMU's announcement, she resigned in a confidential agreement — obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request — that will keep her on the payroll through June 2021.
Werner and MSU officials have said the resignation had nothing to do with Werner’s time at EMU.
On Friday, Stanley said he had no knowledge of the allegations against Werner, nor the EMU Title IX office audit until last month.
