Michigan State University will pay a record $4.5 million fine for its poor handling of the Larry Nassar case, the federal education department announced Thursday.

The article goes on to state the following:

In immediate fallout from the report, MSU Provost June Youatt resigned from the university, sources told the Free Press.
