Dr. Anderson survivors to continue protest after settlement with University of Michigan
The sports saying, “next man up,” feels appropriate as Tad Deluca, a former University of Michigan wrestler, and Bill Evashevski hold down the fort for Jon Vaughn for a couple of days while he’s out sick. They say being here is no longer just their protest.
‘We will hold the University of Michigan accountable,’ says lawyer of Dr. Anderson victims
Lawyer Parker Stinar opened the press conference saying that his law firm represents more than a dozen athletes and non-athletes who suffered abuse from Anderson over several decades. "It was really difficult.”Stinar read excerpts from Deluca’s letter to Manuel, which detailed unnecessary exams by Dr. Anderson when he was a 19-year-old wrestler in the 1970s. “Something is wrong with Dr. Anderson," he wrote. It is time for the University of Michigan to accept responsibility for decades of sexual abuse and ignoring victims’ cries. It is time for the University of Michigan to be held accountable.”Stinar said that a meeting is scheduled with the University of Michigan’s general council.
