On Tuesday’s Dr. Phil, “Athletes Behaving Badly or Targets for False Accusations?” Bailey claims Michigan State University discouraged her from going to the police when she reported that three student-athletes had sexually assaulted her. WATCH: Woman Claims University Discouraged Her From Reporting Sexual Assault Bailey later sued the university. Her alleged attackers were never charged and her lawsuit was ultimately dismissed. In a statement to Dr. Phil, the Michigan State University Deputy Spokesperson writes: It’s important to note that in addition to our extensive and rigorous internal review, this case was also criminally investigated by the Michigan Attorney General in 2020, and the federal courts dismissed the lawsuit that Ms. Kowalski filed against the university. Since President Stanley’s arrival to campus in the fall of 2019, he has made an institutional commitment to creating a safe campus culture for all. That includes investing resources into relationship violence and sexual misconduct prevention, as well as changes in university leadership – all of whom share in his commitment to fostering a safe and welcoming community.
