EAST LANSING, Mich. — The former Michigan State University president accused of lying about her knowledge of allegations against sports doctor Larry Nassar is getting about $2.5 million as part of a retirement package and agreed not to sue the school, it was announced Tuesday. The agreement does not appear to address how the pending criminal case could affect the terms of the agreement other than public recognition of her emeritus status being potentially withheld if she is convicted and that conviction survives all appeals.
“Our campus community is continuing its healing, and the Board of Trustees feel the retirement of Dr. Simon is best for the university,” said Dianne Byrum, chairwoman of the university’s governing body, in a statement.Dr. Samuel Stanley Jr., a medical researcher who has led Stony Brook University in New York for nearly a decade, was named the school’s next president earlier this year and officially starts this week.
