LANSING, Mich. (AP/FOX 17) — Special prosecutor William Forsyth accuses Michigan State University of "stonewalling" the Nassar scandal investigation.
In a 16-page report issued Friday, Forsyth says that MSU's failures were not a result of policies, but of individual people failing.
"Policies are no better than the people tasked with implementing them," says Forsyth in the report.
Criminal charges have been filed against three MSU officials in the investigation: Kathie Klages, former MSU gymnastics coach, William Strampel, the former Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Lou Anna K. Simon, the former President of MSU.

Forsyth's report accuses the school of fighting the release of certain relevant documents and releasing others that were "irrelevant." It says these actions hampered the investigation.
Forsyth said at a news conference that "their biggest concern was the reputation of the university."
Hundreds of women and girls, most of them gymnasts, accused Nassar of molesting them under the guise that it was treatment during his time working for Michigan State and USA Gymnastics, which trained Olympians. He received long prison terms after pleading guilty to child pornography possession and sexual abuse charges.
