A small group of Michigan State University faculty is asking that former General Counsel Robert Young, who helped lead the school through the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal, reject the nearly million-dollar payout he is receiving after being ousted earlier this month.

The request is led by Catherine Lindell, an associate professor in the college of natural science’s department of integrative biology. Lindell said in an interview Wednesday that so far Young has not responded to her. Neither did he respond to messages from Corporate Counsel. The university declined to comment.
