University of Michigan to Pay $490 Million to 1,000+ Survivors of Sexual Assault by School Doctor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The University of Michigan has agreed to pay $460 million to over 1,000
survivors of sexual assault at the hands of former university doctor
Robert Anderson. Another $30 million will be set aside for additional
survivors who come forward over the next year and a half. Anderson, who
died in 2008, was found to have repeatedly assaulted patients over his
37 years at the University of Michigan, including performing unnecessary
invasive exams and trading medical services for sexual contact.
