That's an average of 1.5m per victim Good. Sorry about your tuition hikes, future Spartans.

The most recent number of Sandusky victims getting settlements I could find was "over 30". THREE HUNDRED THIRTY TWO?!

Yeah it's a hell of a lot easier to sexually assault people when you're a medical doctor and thus touching your victims is assumed to be 'just part of the examination'. And also when you strategically arrange your office so that you can assault them without the parents knowing. e: and when you're moving around the nation as opposed to just staying in Happy Vally, PA. I feel gross even typing that

And since it was reached so quickly one has to think that half a billion was on the low end of what the university could have been liable for in damages.

So...$100,000 and $500,000 in/out of state tuition for the 2018-2019 school year?

Sparty very likely has some manner of liability insurance at the school for legal settlements like these, so that's going to defray at least some costs. It'll also depend on how the settlements pay out, but yeah there's basically no way this doesn't raise tuition to some degree

Spartys insurance policy will likely only cover a small portion of the payouts so now the school has to get creative

If I remember correctly, the insurer at Penn State had a legal battle with the school over paying out claims. Edit: Beaten

Timby posted:Yeah, either programs are getting cut or tuition is seeing a massive hike. I could definitely see the former. The latter's gonna be tough because Michigan's laws are such that state funding to a school starts to recede if they raise tuition past a certain point. This basically becomes a game of "beg, borrow, and steal". I'd imagine some of their deeper-pocketed alumni will put together a rather quiet foundation to help defray some of it. They can also ask state funding to help with the payments, likely with state oversight on how they're fixing their own rules and procedures to prevent this from happening again. Basically there isn't gonna be one single source to all of it, nor could there really be even if they wanted. I'm sure more is going to come out in the coming days and weeks as the details of the settlement structure are hammered out.

It won't be quiet, it will be intentionally mislabeled as some charity to help victims of sexual abuse. Alumni and others will be donating to it thinking its to help with therapy and giving resources to vistims of sexual assault, except its going to go straight into the settlement.

They're probably going to end up killing or severely paring down departments. Usually, thanks to tenure, you can't just get rid of faculty, but there's usually a clause allowing it in the case of fiscal emergencies—so expect the administration to seize this chance to get rid of professors they don't like, especially ones who have regularly called them on their bullshit.
