This letter below is patently and blatantly false in it's legal statements, and any attorney who is making these claims, cannot be doing so unintentionally.

Also note the realities being disclosed here:

Attorneys were intentionally brought into every conversation about abuse and abuse reform. The same attorneys survivors have said for decades, were at the root of every coverup and mishandling.

This is widely known. That's not an accident.

If one truly desires the best counsel on abuse prevention and response, you bring in experts who specialize in the law and abuse policy. You do not bring in the very attorneys at the root of the issues, literally for decades - The very attorneys you were begged not to bring in.

Also note that involving attorneys in all these discussions is a common tactic to ensure that what is said and done can be kept hidden under claims of "privilege". This is standard operating procedure for obfuscation - I see it in nearly every case I've worked on.

In the Nassar case, the MSU Board chair instructed all members to cc attorneys on any communications related to Nassar, specifically to try to keep all their information "privileged" and out of the range of accountability.

This is standard operating procedure for obfuscation.

Given that members who engaged on abuse-related issues were assured of confidentiality and "privilege", it seems clear this reality was not lost on them as they "intentionally involved" the very attorneys who had been deeply involved in the creation of wrong policy and practice.

This letter is itself a clear apologetic for why waiver of privilege and access to all information related to abuse policy and disclosures, is necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis of any problems, and constructive changes moving forward. You can't fix what you won't diagnose.

Messengers and EC members should also be asking if it is really possible that all these dynamics and blatantly wrong legal counsel, could possibly be well-intentioned accidents.
