Michigan State University Athletic Director Mark Hollis has announced his resignation in the wake of Larry Nassar’s 175-year sentence for repeated sexual abuse of young female athletes. University President Lou Anna Simon stepped down earlier this week. Nassar worked for the university as a sports medicine doctor and served as the team doctor for USA Gymnastics’ team. “I’m not running away from anything. I’m running toward something.
