ANN ARBOR, MI — Mediation is set to begin Friday, Oct. 23, between lawyers representing the University of Michigan and victims of alleged sexual abuse by late athletic doctor Robert Anderson.
An investigation into Anderson began in 2018 when former UM wrestler Tad Deluca sent a letter to UM Athletic Director Warde Manuel detailing instances of sexual assault.
Through mediation, Martin said she and her firm, Lieff Cabraser Heimann and Bernstein, LLP, are asking for institutional reform to make sure something like this never happens again.
The amount of people involved in the Anderson mediation will make the process much different than past mediation processes Cox has been involved with, he said.
