University of Michigan administrators knew about Robert Anderson s sexual assaults on athletes and students since the start of his tenure at the school in the 1970s, but did not act, causing decades of pain, a new report found. A senior University administrator was told about Dr. Anderson’s misconduct several times between 1978 or 1979 and 1981 but did not take appropriate action, the law firm WilmerHale wrote in a lengthy investigative report commissioned by the university and released Tuesday. Concerning information was also shared with other University personnel. Although the information these individuals received varied in directness and specificity, Dr. Anderson’s misconduct may have been detected earlier and brought to an end if they had considered, understood, investigated, or elevated what they heard.
