Executive Summary

On July 18, 2018, Thomas “Tad” DeLuca 1 sent a letter to University of Michigan
Athletic Director Warde Manuel. In his letter, Mr. DeLuca, an alumnus of the University and a
member of the wrestling team in the 1970s, described a series of interactions with a former
University physician, Robert E. Anderson. Mr. DeLuca wrote that, beginning in 1972, he sought
treatment from Dr. Anderson for cold sores on his face and that, during several visits, Dr.
Anderson examined his penis, did a hernia check, and conducted a digital rectal examination
without explaining why such examinations were necessary. Mr. DeLuca also stated that he
sought treatment from Dr. Anderson in 1974 for a dislocated elbow and that, once again, Dr.
Anderson performed penis, hernia, and prostate examinations, all without any explanation or
apparent justification. According to Mr. DeLuca, these types of examinations were standard
operating procedure for “Dr. ‘Drop Your Drawers’ Anderson.” Dr. Anderson worked in various
capacities at the University between 1966 and 2003. He died in 2008.

On July 26, 2018, Mr. DeLuca’s letter was forwarded to the University’s Office for
Institutional Equity (“OIE”), 2 which is responsible for investigating Title IX complaints and
other reports of sexual misconduct. Pamela Heatlie, who was then the Director of OIE,
contacted Mr. DeLuca on August 6 and met with him later that month. On October 1, 2018, Ms.
Heatlie referred the matter to the University’s Division of Public Safety and Security (“DPSS”).
DPSS assigned the matter to Detective Mark West. On October 3, DPSS instituted a “law
enforcement hold,” which froze OIE’s review while Detective West investigated whether any
crime may have been committed.

Over the next several months, Detective West conducted an extensive investigation,
during which he interviewed former patients 3 of Dr. Anderson and current and former University
employees and reviewed potentially relevant documents. In April 2019, Detective West
forwarded the DPSS investigative report to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office (the
“Prosecutor’s Office”). The next month, DPSS informed OIE that it could resume its review.

On August 18, 2019, an individual who had been a student at the University in the late
1960s and early 1970s (“Individual A”) sent an email to the administrative assistants for Dr.
Robert Ernst, Executive Director of the University Health Service (“UHS”), which is the
University’s on-campus medical clinic, and Dr. Elizabeth Cole, who was then the Interim Dean
of the University’s School of Literature, Science, and the Arts. In the email, Individual A
provided a detailed description of an appointment he had with Dr. Anderson at UHS in 1971.
Individual A, who had sought treatment for potential exposure to a sexually transmitted infection
(“STI”), said that Dr. Anderson asked him to manually stimulate Dr. Anderson’s penis until Dr.
Anderson ejaculated. Individual A, who is a gay man, also stated that he had discussed the
incident shortly afterward with another gay patient of Dr. Anderson, who shrugged his shoulders,
from which Individual A inferred that what happened to him was standard for Dr. Anderson

We interviewed Mr. DeLuca in the presence of his counsel on two occasions. Mr. DeLuca gave us permission to
use his name in this Report.

treated by Dr. Anderson.
when providing medical care to gay patients. Dr. Ernst and Dr. Cole each promptly sent
Individual A’s email to OIE, which forwarded it to DPSS.

By the final weeks of 2019, OIE had not made material progress investigating the
allegations about Dr. Anderson. In light of the seriousness of the allegations and the fact that
almost a year and a half had passed since Mr. DeLuca’s letter was received, OIE contacted the
University’s Office of the Vice President and General Counsel (“OGC”). On January 23, 2020,
the University’s Board of Regents retained the law firm Steptoe & Johnson LLP (“Steptoe”) to
conduct an independent investigation.

On February 18, 2020, the Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that it had completed its review
and would not be bringing any criminal charges. The next day, the University publicly
announced the availability of a hotline to collect information from Dr. Anderson’s former
patients. The announcement garnered significant media coverage. Within two weeks, more than
one hundred people called in to share their experiences.

Our Investigation

On March 21, 2020, at the request of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan,
Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP (“WilmerHale”) assumed responsibility for the
independent investigation into Dr. Anderson’s conduct. 4 We undertook: (1) to investigate the
nature and scope of any misconduct by Dr. Anderson as a University employee; (2) to determine
who at the University knew or should have known about such misconduct and what was done to
address it; and (3) to recommend measures the University should take to help prevent, detect,
and address such misconduct in the future.

Over the last year, WilmerHale collected information from more than 800 people. Nearly
600 patients came forward to share their experiences, and over 300 ultimately participated in
interviews. These individuals described conduct by Dr. Anderson across the various positions he
occupied over his nearly four decades as a University employee. Although some of Dr.
Anderson’s patients expressed support for him or reported favorably on the care they received
from him, the vast majority of his patients who contacted us reported experiences that they found
inappropriate and, in many cases, deeply upsetting.

WilmerHale also investigated the University’s awareness of and response to information


suggesting that Dr. Anderson engaged in inappropriate conduct in his various positions at the
University. We interviewed approximately 200 current and former University employees,
including administrators, faculty members, and coaches, as well as additional UHS, Athletic
Department, and Michigan Medicine personnel. 5 We also collected more than two million
documents from the archives housed in the University’s Bentley Historical Library (“the Bentley

Library”) and other repositories, reviewed tens of thousands of documents using targeted search
terms, and reviewed more than 125 boxes of hard copy documents from a University employee’s
personal files. We retained medical experts to help us understand relevant standards of care
during Dr. Anderson’s tenure; we retained social science experts to help us understand how and
why sexual misconduct may go undetected for extended periods of time in institutional and
medical settings.

No restrictions were placed on our fact gathering, our analysis, or our independence.
Although the University provided logistical support to our team when requested, we did our own
work. No one on the Board of Regents or at the University directed, inhibited, or sought to
influence us in any way. We had the freedom and resources to follow the facts wherever they
led, to contact every individual we thought might have relevant information, and to access and
review every document we thought might be relevant.

This Report sets forth our findings, analysis, and recommendations. No one on the Board
of Regents or at the University of Michigan has previewed the Report or any drafts of it or
suggested any content or revisions; the findings, analysis, and recommendations are ours alone.

Our Findings

The University of Michigan hired Dr. Anderson as an associate physician at UHS in


1966. In 1968 Dr. Anderson was promoted to UHS Director, a position he held for the next
twelve years. During this period, Dr. Anderson also held positions as a team physician in the
Athletic Department, a clinical instructor at the University’s Medical School, and a lecturer in
the Department of Medical Care Organization at the School of Public Health. Dr. Anderson
resigned as UHS Director in 1980, but he remained at UHS as a senior physician until July 1981,
when he transferred to the Athletic Department.

Dr. Anderson continued to serve as a physician in the Athletic Department until 1999.
He also held a series of clinical faculty appointments at the Medical School until his retirement
in early 2003. In 1995, the University acquired Dr. Anderson’s private medical practice, and he
spent the final years of his career treating patients in Michigan Medicine-operated clinics.

What Dr. Anderson Did

Over the course of his thirty-seven years as a University employee, Dr. Anderson
engaged in sexual misconduct 6 with patients on countless occasions. Dr. Anderson’s misconduct
ranged from performing medically unnecessary hernia and rectal examinations on patients
seeking treatment for wholly unrelated issues, to manually stimulating male patients and causing
them to ejaculate, to quid pro quo arrangements in which he provided medical services in
exchange for sexual contact. Dr. Anderson’s misconduct prompted some student athletes to quit
their teams; it caused some students to question their sexuality; it caused some students to seek
counseling; it affected some students’ academics, including some who left the University; and it

6
In this Report, we generally use the term “sexual misconduct” to describe Dr. Anderson’s conduct, which included
sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and sexual assault.

3
undoubtedly affected other students in myriad ways. The trauma that Dr. Anderson’s
misconduct caused persists to this day.

The experiences that many of Dr. Anderson’s patients relayed to us were widely
consistent, containing similar details and key elements. In light of the one-on-one setting in
which Dr. Anderson’s misconduct occurred, the passage of time, the dearth of contemporaneous
medical records, and the fact that many patients and witnesses are no longer alive, we could not
determine that particular incidents unfolded exactly as patients described them to us. But we
have no doubt based on the evidence available to us, including the first-hand accounts of his
patients, that Dr. Anderson engaged in a pervasive, decades-long, destructive pattern of sexual
misconduct.

Dr. Anderson’s misconduct occurred across his various roles at the University and
throughout his University career—with patients who sought treatment from him at UHS, with
student athletes who were sent to him for required pre-participation physical examinations
(“PPEs”), and with medical students he was responsible for teaching. The misconduct occurred
in his examination room at UHS, in training rooms at Athletic Department facilities, and in
treatment rooms of Michigan Medicine’s East Ann Arbor Health and Geriatrics Center (“EAA”).
Dr. Anderson abused men and women, students from different racial backgrounds,
undergraduate and graduate students, student athletes, and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (“LGBTQ”) community.

The most common form of misconduct patients described to us involved Dr. Anderson
conducting sensitive examinations (i.e., hernia and/or genital, prostate and/or rectal, and breast
and/or pelvic examinations) that they perceived as unnecessary, performed inappropriately, or
both. For example, approximately one hundred patients described inappropriate prostate or
rectal examinations; nearly 150 patients detailed inappropriate hernia and/or genital
examinations; and a half-dozen patients told us about inappropriate breast and/or pelvic
examinations. Many of those patients recounted receiving multiple forms of inappropriate
examinations.

Dr. Anderson conducted digital rectal examinations and examined the genitals of
numerous students who saw him for unrelated conditions such as respiratory infections, sprained
ankles, injured elbows and knees, and sore shoulders. The medical experts we consulted confirm
what many patients suspected: Dr. Anderson’s conduct was not consistent with any recognized
standard of care and was, on the contrary, grossly improper. In addition, dozens of former
student athletes told us that they received rectal examinations from Dr. Anderson during PPEs.
The medical experts again confirm that, other than in limited circumstances, sensitive
examinations beyond hernia checks were not indicated for these types of physicals.

Even when conducting a particular sensitive examination may have been consistent with
the standard of care at the time, Dr. Anderson regularly performed those examinations in grossly
inappropriate ways. Many patients told us about Dr. Anderson subjecting them to prolonged or
forceful examinations of their genitalia and prostates, requiring them to fully disrobe during
examinations, and, according to some, performing sensitive examinations without gloves.
Nearly a dozen patients described instances in which Dr. Anderson—under the guise of
demonstrating how to perform sensitive examinations—invited patients and medical students to

4
perform those examinations on his own body. Although some patients resisted, others complied
because of Dr. Anderson’s professional status or the need to obtain medical services.

A smaller number of patients recounted experiences in which Dr. Anderson engaged in


overtly sexual conduct while conducting a sensitive examination. Though fewer patients
reported such experiences to us, their experiences were generally consistent with one another.
For example, approximately two dozen patients described Dr. Anderson using his hands to
stimulate their penises, sometimes to erection and ejaculation. In some instances, Dr. Anderson
paired the stimulation of patients’ genitalia with forceful digital rectal examinations. Other
patients described Dr. Anderson inviting them to manually stimulate his genitalia to erection and
ejaculation. Several patients told us that Dr. Anderson proposed, implicitly or explicitly,
engaging in quid pro quo arrangements involving sexual contact, including suggesting that a
patient perform oral sex on him in exchange for expensive medication.

These patient experiences illustrate the broad range of Dr. Anderson’s misconduct. Some
patients were subjected to misconduct across multiple visits; others had a single searing
experience. Most patients who spoke to us described misconduct that occurred while Dr.
Anderson was at UHS in the 1960s and 1970s, but we also heard from patients who saw him in
later years, including into the early 2000s, just before he retired.

Many of Dr. Anderson’s patients thought that something “strange,” “odd,” or “unusual”
had occurred in the examination room, but they did not complain because they were unsure if
what they had experienced was normal for adult medicine or elite university athletic programs.
Patients generally gave Dr. Anderson the benefit of the doubt, trusting and deferring to his
medical expertise. Some were too ashamed or embarrassed to share the details of their
examinations with friends, authority figures, or family members. Others thought they would not
be believed.

A significant number of affected patients were members of susceptible populations.


Some had limited experience with doctors or had never before received an adult physical
examination. A number of LGBTQ patients felt they had little choice but to abide Dr.
Anderson’s abuse, as reporting him meant outing themselves at a time when LGBTQ individuals
were stigmatized. Some student athletes feared they would lose playing time or their
scholarships if they complained to their coaches. Some patients needed Dr. Anderson’s help to
get a medical exemption from the Vietnam War-era draft.

How the University Responded

The University received contemporaneous information about Dr. Anderson’s misconduct


from multiple sources. A senior University administrator was told about Dr. Anderson’s
misconduct several times between 1978 or 1979 and 1981 but did not take appropriate action.
Concerning information was also shared with other University personnel. Although the
information these individuals received varied in directness and specificity, Dr. Anderson’s
misconduct may have been detected earlier and brought to an end if they had considered,
understood, investigated, or elevated what they heard.

5
Almost immediately after Dr. Anderson arrived at the University, rumors about him
performing inappropriate and unnecessary examinations of a sensitive nature started circulating
on campus. Roughly half the patients who reported negative experiences with Dr. Anderson to
us were aware of rumors or jokes about him either before or after their own incidents. Rumors
and jokes about Dr. Anderson were widespread among student athletes, with whom Dr.
Anderson had a reputation for performing genital or rectal examinations no matter the reason for
the visit. The names by which student athletes referred to Dr. Anderson included “Handy
Andy,” “Goldfinger,” “Dr. Handerson,” and “Dr. Drop Your Drawers Anderson,” among others.

In 1975, Mr. DeLuca complained in writing to his wrestling coach, Bill Johannesen, that
“[s]omething is wrong with Dr. Anderson. Regardless of what you were there for, he asks that
you ‘drop your drawers’ and cough.” There is no evidence that Mr. Johannesen looked into Mr.
DeLuca’s complaint about Dr. Anderson. And in that regard Mr. Johannesen was not alone. We
interviewed nearly fifty current and former Athletic Department administrators, coaches, and
trainers, and many more student athletes. We learned of multiple instances in which Athletic
Department personnel may have heard concerns, communicated to them by students with
varying degrees of directness and specificity, about Dr. Anderson’s conduct in the examining
room. We also learned of more than a dozen additional instances in which Athletic Department
personnel heard jokes or rumors about Dr. Anderson’s examinations, some of which highlighted
Dr. Anderson’s propensity for performing sensitive examinations for no apparent medically
appropriate reason. Yet no one in the Athletic Department appears to have recognized what they
heard as indicative of abuse or initiated any inquiries into Dr. Anderson’s conduct.

Much the same occurred at UHS. UHS personnel told us that they heard rumors and
jokes about Dr. Anderson’s conduct. Patients mentioned or alluded to Dr. Anderson’s
inappropriate behavior to other UHS doctors or staff. Again, it appears no action was taken in
response.

In addition to the swirl of rumors surrounding Dr. Anderson in the Athletic Department
and at UHS, a senior University administrator was explicitly informed of Dr. Anderson’s
misconduct on multiple occasions. In late 1978 or 1979, Jim Toy, the Gay Male Advocate in the
University’s Human Sexuality Office, told Thomas Easthope, who was then the Assistant Vice
President of Student Services with oversight responsibility for UHS, that Dr. Anderson was
“fooling around with boys” at UHS. Around the same time, two psychological counselors in the
University’s Counseling Services Office reported concerns about Dr. Anderson’s conduct with
patients to Mr. Easthope. In his interview with us, and in sworn deposition testimony, Mr.
Easthope acknowledged that he heard Mr. Toy’s allegations while Dr. Anderson was UHS
Director.

Mr. Easthope claimed to have confronted Dr. Anderson and fired him. But Mr. Easthope
did not do so. Contemporaneous documentation reflects that Dr. Anderson voluntarily resigned
as UHS Director effective January 1980, but he continued working at UHS as a senior physician
with the title of Director of Athletic Medicine. Despite having heard about Dr. Anderson’s
misconduct, Mr. Easthope himself signed documentation related to Dr. Anderson’s continued
employment at UHS in January 1980 and approved a salary increase for him in or around August
1980.

6
In late 1980 and early 1981, Mr. Easthope again received information concerning Dr.
Anderson’s misconduct with patients. Keith Moree, 7 an undergraduate student who volunteered
in the Human Sexuality Office, complained to Mr. Toy and subsequently to Mr. Easthope about
an inappropriate examination Dr. Anderson had given Mr. Moree at UHS in May 1980.
According to Mr. Moree, Mr. Easthope promised to remove Dr. Anderson from all patient-facing
responsibilities. Mr. Easthope told us that he had no memory of Mr. Moree or his complaint, but
Mr. Moree’s description of these events is corroborated by contemporaneous evidence.

Despite the credible reports of misconduct that Mr. Easthope received, the University
never terminated Dr. Anderson’s employment or moved him to a role in which he would no
longer see patients. Instead, in July 1981 Dr. Anderson transferred to the Athletic Department,
for which Mr. Easthope had no oversight responsibility. Dr. Anderson continued to work at the
University, including in the Athletic Department and in various capacities at Michigan Medicine,
until his retirement in 2003. He continued to provide medical services to student athletes and
other patients—and to engage in sexual misconduct with large numbers of them—for the rest of
his career.

Our Recommendations

Based on the facts uncovered in our investigation, we have identified concrete measures,
including the enhancement of existing policies, procedures, and practices, that the University
should take to help prevent, identify, investigate, and respond to the kind of misconduct in which
Dr. Anderson engaged. We recognize that the University has taken significant steps in recent
years to improve its response to sexual misconduct reports. Thus, we focus on additional actions
that the University can take. Specifically, we recommend that the University:

● Enhance its training programs to promote a culture of awareness and reporting;


● Enhance resources, training, and policies relating to sensitive examinations;
● Assess how individual departments respond to sexual misconduct issues to
increase their accountability;
● Enhance certain diligence procedures to ensure that concerning information about
physicians is adequately investigated;
● Improve communication and coordination between and among OIE, DPSS, and
the Prosecutor’s Office; and
● Ensure that OIE has sufficient resources to carry out its important responsibilities.

his name in this Report.

I. The Independent Investigation

A. Our Engagement

The University of Michigan publicly announced an independent investigation of


allegations of sexual misconduct involving Dr. Anderson on February 19, 2020. 8 The Steptoe
law firm was hired to conduct the investigation, but the University soon decided to engage a
different firm, citing Steptoe’s previous representation of “prominent clients who were accused
of sexual misconduct.” 9 On March 21, 2020, the University’s Board of Regents retained
WilmerHale to take over the investigation. 10

Our investigation was independent from the University. WilmerHale retained sole
discretion to employ the investigative resources, techniques, and processes that we deemed
appropriate to conduct a thorough investigation and to prepare this Report. The University did
not attempt to direct, manage, influence, interfere with, or inhibit our investigation in any
manner. On the contrary, the University cooperated fully with the investigation and facilitated
our access to all relevant documents and witnesses within its control. At our request, the
University also provided significant assistance in support of our efforts to identify and contact
former students and current and former University personnel.

WilmerHale’s engagement did not include any undertaking to represent the University or
its interests in any other matter. WilmerHale does not and will not advise the University on the
defense of any actions brought by plaintiffs alleging that they were harmed by Dr. Anderson.
Our work was wholly separate from the civil litigation relating to Dr. Anderson that has been
brought against the University in federal court by or on behalf of some of Dr. Anderson’s former
patients. 11

The findings, analysis, and recommendations set out in this Report are ours alone. No
draft or copy of the Report was provided to or reviewed by anyone on the Board of Regents or at
the University of Michigan prior to its public release.

B. Scope of Review and Methodology

The Board of Regents charged us with conducting an independent investigation of


allegations that Dr. Anderson engaged in sexual misconduct during his employment at the
University. To that end, we undertook: (1) to make a full and fair accounting of Dr. Anderson’s
conduct; (2) to determine whether the University knew or should have known of any misconduct
by Dr. Anderson, whether appropriate actions were taken, and, if not, why not; and (3) to
recommend forward-looking measures to prevent, detect, and address misconduct such as that
perpetrated by Dr. Anderson.

WilmerHale identified three categories of individuals and organizations most likely to


have relevant information: Dr. Anderson’s former patients; current and former University
employees who may have supervised, worked with, or otherwise interacted with Dr. Anderson or
who may have knowledge about relevant University policies, procedures, or processes; and
entities within the University and in Ann Arbor with which Dr. Anderson may have had contact.
We also identified several repositories of potentially relevant documents, including the extensive
University archives housed at the Bentley Library, the personal records of a former University
employee, and the email accounts of University employees involved, directly or indirectly, in
handling the allegations against Dr. Anderson during the 2018-2020 period.

We briefly discuss below our methodology for interacting with and collecting
information from these individuals and entities.

1. Patient Outreach

Efforts to make contact with Dr. Anderson’s patients commenced prior to WilmerHale’s
engagement. On February 19, 2020, the University issued a statement inviting former patients of
Dr. Anderson who believed they were “subjected to sexual misconduct during a medical exam”
to contact the University’s compliance hotline. 12 The University’s announcement garnered
significant press coverage, and the University received more than one hundred reports over the
next two weeks.

Patients wishing to share information had multiple ways to do so. In addition to the
compliance hotline, the University set up a dedicated call center to receive information from Dr.
Anderson’s former patients. We provided a script for the call center to solicit information about
why patients called in and, when callers were willing to provide it, contact information for
follow-up by our team. Dozens of patients also contacted individuals at the University
directly—including the Office of the President, the Athletic Department, and OIE—to make
reports (which were then referred to us). Steptoe, and then WilmerHale, also established
telephone hotlines and dedicated email inboxes to field communications from patients.

At WilmerHale’s request, the University undertook two large-scale outreach efforts. In


April 2020, the University sent emails and letters from Warde Manuel, the University’s Athletic
Director, to roughly 6,800 student athletes who attended the University between the mid-1960s
and early 2000s to encourage any who had been patients of Dr. Anderson or who may have

12

9
information to share about him to contact WilmerHale. 13 In June 2020, the University sent
emails and letters from President Mark Schlissel to roughly 300,000 students who attended the
University from the mid-1960s to the early 2000s, also to encourage any who had been patients
of Dr. Anderson or who may have information to share about him to contact WilmerHale. 14

WilmerHale also made targeted efforts to contact certain patients. We reached out to
patients who had previously shared information with DPSS to ask if they would be willing to
speak with us. We contacted legal counsel for Dr. Anderson’s former patients at more than
twenty different law firms to ask if their clients would consider being interviewed by our team,
and we invited the former patients’ counsel to attend our interviews of their clients. Although
most of the law firms declined to make their clients available for interviews, several agreed to do
so, and we interviewed roughly two dozen individuals in the presence of their counsel.

In total, nearly 600 patients made reports about their experiences with Dr. Anderson. 15
We responded to patients who contacted us as promptly as possible, almost always within
twenty-four to forty-eight hours after they provided their contact information, to determine if
they wished to be interviewed by our team. Ultimately, more than 300 patients agreed to be
interviewed. 16 We are grateful to all who provided information about Dr. Anderson.

2. University of Michigan Personnel Outreach

WilmerHale made extensive efforts to identify and contact current and former University
employees who might have relevant information; we ultimately spoke with approximately 200
such individuals. 17 We organized our outreach to current and former employees around the
following categories:

● University employees who may have first-hand knowledge or awareness of Dr.


Anderson’s alleged misconduct. Without exception, if at any point during our
investigation we received information that a current or former University
employee may have knowledge of Dr. Anderson’s misconduct, we attempted to
interview that person.
● University employees with supervisory authority over Dr. Anderson. Among
others, we interviewed a former President of the University, two former Vice
Presidents of Student Services, a former Associate Vice President of Student
Services, a former UHS Director, seven current or former senior administrators in

identity of individual patients.

The total includes interviews that DPSS and Steptoe conducted with patients prior to our engagement.
17
This includes current and former employees who were patients of Dr. Anderson.

10
Michigan Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine, one former Medical
Director at EAA, and one former Athletic Director.
● University personnel who worked with Dr. Anderson and/or interacted with his
patients or student athletes. We interviewed numerous individuals in this
category, including medical staff (such as physicians, nurses, and nurse
practitioners), a receptionist, secretaries, clinic clerks, patient representatives,
medical students and residents, team physicians, athletic trainers, head and
assistant coaches of various athletic teams, and administrators.
● Individuals who supervised complaint processes or had knowledge of potential
channels for complaints. We spoke with current and former employees in a
variety of positions and offices, including the Office of Patient Relations and
Clinical Risk at Michigan Medicine, the Office of Clinical Affairs at Michigan
Medicine, the relevant clinical departments (Internal Medicine, Urology, and
Surgery) at Michigan Medicine, University Risk Management, Michigan
Medicine Compliance, the Office of Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development,
and UHS Patient Relations Coordinators. We also spoke with employees in the
State of Michigan’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (“LARA”),
the entity charged with licensing physicians and processing public complaints
about physicians.
● Individuals who were involved in the University’s 2018-2020 investigation of Dr.
Anderson. We interviewed several current and former University administrators,
attorneys, and investigators in connection with the University’s investigation of
Dr. Anderson after Mr. DeLuca’s letter was received in 2018. This group
included four current and former OIE employees, four members of DPSS, four
members of the OGC, the current Athletic Director, the Executive Director of
UHS and Associate Vice President for Health and Wellness in Student Life, one
current faculty member, and the Assistant Director of Risk Management. We also
interviewed two former members of the Prosecutor’s Office.
● University personnel with knowledge of the University’s policies, practices, and
procedures. We interviewed current and former employees with knowledge of the
University’s policies, practices, and procedures related to addressing sexual
misconduct, including employees of the Affirmative Action Office, the Office of
the Ombuds, the Counseling Services Office, the Sexual Harassment Policy
Office, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, OGC, OIE, the
Athletic Department, Michigan Medicine, and UHS.
● University personnel with knowledge of potentially relevant records. We
interviewed and received information and documents from current and former
University employees with knowledge of the existence and location of potentially
relevant documents.

11
3. Non-University Community Outreach

Dr. Anderson served in various capacities, both paid and unpaid, for entities not affiliated
with the University of Michigan, including hospitals and private practices in the Ann Arbor area,
local schools and colleges, local businesses, and federal entities. Because our investigation
focused on Dr. Anderson’s conduct at the University, we did not try to contact patients who saw
him at unaffiliated entities. However, we did contact a number of entities to determine whether
they had records or information relevant to Dr. Anderson or had ever notified the University of
any possible misconduct by Dr. Anderson. 18 Of the entities that responded to our outreach, only
one, Hurley Medical Center, had records related to Dr. Anderson, which we obtained and
reviewed.

We also submitted Freedom of Information Act requests to five federal agencies—the


Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), the U.S. Military Entrance Processing Command, the
U.S. Army Recruiting Command, the Selective Service, and the National Archives and Records
Administration—for records relating to Dr. Anderson. Additionally, we submitted a state
Freedom of Information Act request to LARA for records relating to Dr. Anderson. Only the
FAA had relevant records, which we obtained and reviewed.

4. Documentary Evidence

We collected over two million documents from University repositories, employees’ email
accounts, and other sources, and reviewed tens of thousands of documents that might contain
relevant information or that included particular terms. The documents we reviewed included:

● The University’s personnel records for Dr. Anderson;


● A collection of historical documents stored at UHS from the time that Dr.
Anderson worked there;
● Certain Medical School course catalogs, medical student rotation schedules, and
student and resident evaluations of Dr. Anderson;
● Investigation reports and related materials from DPSS;
● University President’s Reports;
● University and department-level policies and procedures;
● Documents from the Bentley Library, including selections from the Don Canham,
Henry Johnson, James W. Toy, Athletic Department, Medical School, and UHS
archival collections; 19

18
Our team contacted the following entities: Hurley Medical Center, St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor Hospital,
McLaren Flint Hospital, Ann Arbor Public Schools (including, specifically, Pioneer High School and Huron High
School), Flint Community Schools, Ypsilanti High School, Washtenaw Community College, Eastern Michigan
University, and Allied, Inc.
19
With the assistance of the Bentley Library’s team of archivists, we identified collections of documents we
considered reasonably likely to contain potentially relevant information. We did not identify any collections under
Dr. Anderson’s name. Selected materials were then digitized to facilitate our review. We thank the archivists for
their assistance.

12
● More than 125 boxes of Mr. Toy’s personal records;
● Emails from nearly three dozen employees involved in the University’s response
to the allegations regarding Dr. Anderson that surfaced beginning in 2018;
● FAA records pertaining to Dr. Anderson and FAA Aviation Medical Examiner
guides;
● Medical publications written by Dr. Anderson; and
● Civil litigation records.

C. Limitations

This Report sets out findings and conclusions supported by the evidence we collected
during our investigation. It does not detail all of the information we collected as part of our
investigation; rather, it contains information at what we consider an appropriate level of detail to
describe the relevant facts, support our findings and conclusions, and explain the rationale for
our recommendations.

Our information collection was limited in several ways:

First, to respect the privacy of Dr. Anderson’s former patients, we spoke (with limited
exceptions) only to patients who affirmatively made contact through the channels described
above. Although nearly 600 patients spanning all four decades of Dr. Anderson’s career at the
University provided information, we know that many of his former patients did not contact us.
In addition, for a variety of reasons, we were not able to interview every patient who did contact
us. For example, a number of patients retained legal counsel after first making contact with us,
and their counsel declined our interview requests. Other patients reported their experiences to us
anonymously and did not provide contact information for follow-up. In the summer of 2020, we
stopped communicating with Dr. Anderson’s former patients for approximately six weeks
pursuant to a court order. 20 When the order was lifted in August 2020, 21 several patients with
whom we had previously scheduled interviews were no longer willing to speak with us.

Second, for the vast majority of the patients with whom we spoke, medical records were
not available to verify information they provided, having been destroyed long ago pursuant to
applicable record retention policies and procedures. 22 Accordingly, to the extent this Report
includes information from patient interviews, we offer that information as it was presented to us,
generally without independent verification. Our findings and conclusions are based on our

20
Order Following June 23, 2020 Status Conf., Doe MC-1 v. University of Michigan, No. 2:20-cv-10568 (E.D.
Mich. June 24, 2020).
Order Regarding WilmerHale Investigation, Doe MC-1 v. University of Michigan, No. 2:20-cv-10568 (E.D. Mich.
21

Aug. 6, 2020).
22
We attempted to locate patient medical records at UHS, the Athletic Department, and Michigan Medicine. UHS
generally destroyed paper health records ten years after the date of a patient’s last visit at UHS or death. The
Athletic Department also generally followed a ten-year retention policy. Records are generally available for patients
who saw Dr. Anderson at a Michigan Medicine facility after 1995. We reviewed a small sample of such medical
records. While the records generally corroborated that patients saw Dr. Anderson, they did not provide material
information with respect to any potential misconduct by Dr. Anderson.

13
analysis of the totality of the information we received, and we have not attempted to determine
whether any particular patient experience occurred exactly as it was described. 23

Third, we could not speak with every former University employee who may have had
relevant information. Some did not respond to our efforts to contact them, while others,
including former Vice President of Student Services Robert Knauss, former Head Athletic
Trainer Russell Miller, and former Athletic Director Tom Goss, declined to be interviewed by
us. 24 In addition, although we researched publicly accessible resources and retained a private
investigations firm to assist us, we were unable to locate a small number of individuals.

Fourth, our investigation involved events that transpired many—in some cases more than
fifty—years ago. A significant number of potentially material witnesses, as well as Dr.
Anderson himself, are deceased. 25 And some of the witnesses we interviewed provided vague,
incomplete, or contradictory recollections of events, noting that it was difficult to recall details
from so long ago. In addition to patient medical records, many other potentially relevant
documents and records were discarded or destroyed in the ordinary course long ago.

Finally, our investigation began and ended during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result,
we conducted all of our interviews by telephone or videoconference. 26 We were unable to gain
physical access to University facilities, including the Bentley Library, and relied on University
personnel to assist us in identifying and collecting potentially relevant documents.

Despite these limitations, we are confident that we were able to gather, review, and assess
evidence sufficient to support the factual findings and conclusions set forth in this Report.

D. Investigation Team

The investigative team was led by WilmerHale partners Bruce Berman and Brenda Lee.
Mr. Berman leads WilmerHale’s Higher Education practice and also serves as general counsel
for the law firm. Ms. Lee is Vice Chair of WilmerHale’s Anti-Discrimination practice. They
were assisted by several other WilmerHale attorneys, including counsels Kaitlyn Ferguson and
Ariel Warner. 27 The team has significant experience investigating sensitive matters, including

23
We have not included information provided by patients that we have reason to believe, based on other evidence
we have reviewed, to be inaccurate. For instance, a report might refer to an incident at a time and location that made
it not possible (or highly improbable) in view of other objective evidence about where Dr. Anderson worked at that
particular time.
24
Former University employees and individuals who are not affiliated with the University were under no obligation
to speak to us. But the vast majority of people we contacted agreed to be interviewed, and we are grateful to them
for doing so.
25
We attempted to speak with Dr. Anderson’s children but were unable to make contact.
26
Prior to WilmerHale’s engagement, Steptoe conducted certain interviews in person.
27
WilmerHale partner Aaron Zebley, a former federal prosecutor who served as Deputy Special Counsel for the
investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, provided valuable oversight. Mr. Zebley
co-led WilmerHale’s Philbert investigation.

14
allegations of sexual misconduct. Every member of the team who led a patient interview
received training in trauma-informed interviewing.

WilmerHale retained three physicians and two social scientists as consultants. The three
physicians are Dr. Margot Putukian, Dr. E. Lee Rice, and Dr. William Roberts (collectively, “the
medical experts”): 28

● Dr. Putukian has nearly thirty years experience as a collegiate team physician and
associate clinical professor of internal medicine. She received her medical degree
from Boston University School of Medicine in 1989 and is board certified in
Internal Medicine and Sports Medicine. Dr. Putukian currently serves as the
Chief Medical Officer for Major League Soccer. She recently retired after
serving as the Director of Athletic Medicine and Head Team Physician at
Princeton University for seventeen years. She was also Assistant Director of
Medical Services at Princeton’s Health Services and an Associate Clinical
Professor at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Dr. Putukian
previously held the roles of Team Physician and Director of Primary Care Sports
Medicine at Pennsylvania State University for more than a decade; she was also
an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedics and Internal Medicine
for six years. Dr. Putukian has served as a team physician for U.S. Soccer since
1994 and currently serves as the lead team physician for the Under-20 Women’s
Team. She is a past president, past foundation president, and member of the
American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, chair of the Clinical Sports
Medicine Leadership Committee for the American College of Sports Medicine,
and member of the American College of Physicians.
● Dr. Rice has over forty years experience as a family and sports medicine
physician. He received his osteopathic medicine degree from Kirksville College
of Osteopathic Medicine (now A.T. Still University) in 1973 and completed a
family medicine residency in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps. Dr. Rice is board
certified in Family Medicine and Sports Medicine. He established the San Diego
Sports Medicine and Family Health Center in 1979 and served as the Medical
Director until 2002. He has since served as the Medical Director for the
Lifewellness Institute, where he provides primary care. Dr. Rice served as a team
physician for San Diego State University for sixteen years. He has also served as
a team physician for professional and Olympic teams. Dr. Rice has held a variety
of clinical teaching roles and academic appointments, including at the University
of California San Diego School of Medicine and San Diego State University. He
is a founder and past president of the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports
Medicine and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine.
● Dr. Roberts received his medical degree from the University of Minnesota in
1978 and completed his residency in Family Medicine. He is board certified in
Family Medicine and Sports Medicine. Dr. Roberts has nearly forty years
experience as a clinical instructor or professor of family medicine. He had a
private practice in family medicine for twenty-two years until he joined the

faculty in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the
University of Minnesota in 2003. He continues to maintain a practice at the
Department’s clinic, where he performs PPEs for high school students. Dr.
Roberts has served as a team physician for Team USA Minnesota for twenty
years. He has been involved in the publication of every version of the
Preparticipation Physical Evaluation (PPE) Monograph—a joint publication by
organizations including the American Academy of Family Physicians and the
American College of Sports Medicine that is an authoritative source on PPEs for
medical providers—since its first publication in 1992. He is a fellow, past
president, and past foundation president of the American College of Sports
Medicine and a charter member of the American Medical Society of Sports
Medicine.

The two social scientists are Dr. James M. DuBois and Dr. Deborah Goldfarb (together,
the “social science experts”): 29

● Dr. DuBois received his Ph.D. in philosophy from the International Academy of
Philosophy in Schaan, Liechtenstein, in 1992 and his D.Sc. in psychology from
the University of Vienna, in 1997. From 1997 to 2013, he served as an Assistant
Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor (Hubert Maeder Endowed Chair) of
Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University. He is currently a Professor of
Medicine, Psychology and Brain Sciences and the Steven J. Bander Professor of
Medical Ethics and Professionalism at Washington University in St. Louis. He
has served on multiple scientific advisory and review panels, including at the
National Institutes of Health and the American Psychological Foundation, and has
published extensively in academic journals on issues of medical ethics. In 2019,
Dr. DuBois published an article in The American Journal of Bioethics analyzing
nearly 300 incidents of serious ethical violations by medical providers.
● Dr. Goldfarb earned her law degree from the University of Michigan Law School
in 2004 and her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the University of
California, Davis in 2018. Since 2018, she has served as an Assistant Professor of
Legal Psychology at Florida International University. Dr. Goldfarb has
researched, presented, and published extensively on the intersection of memory
and sexual trauma.

As noted above, we also retained a private investigations firm to assist with the location
and identification of individuals and documents.

II. Background: Robert E. Anderson

A. Early Life and Career: 1928-1966

Robert Edward Anderson was born on February 20, 1928, in L’Anse, Michigan. After
attending L’Anse High School, he graduated from Michigan State University in 1949 and the
University of Michigan Medical School in 1953. From 1953 to 1957, Dr. Anderson was an
intern and then a resident in internal medicine at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan.

From 1957 to 1966, Dr. Anderson worked in a general medicine practice in Flint called
Anderson, Abbott, and Gulowicz. 30 During this time, he provided physical examinations and
served as a team physician at area high schools and colleges. He also became certified as an
FAA Aviation Medical Examiner. According to a resume he prepared and information he
submitted as part of his University personnel record, Dr. Anderson began serving as a medical
advisor for the Selective Service System in 1960 and as a consultant for the Armed Forces
Entrance and Examination Station in Detroit, Michigan as early as 1962; he continued in these
roles until as late as 1972. 31

30
The practice consisted of three general medicine physicians, including Dr. Anderson, who saw adults and children
thirteen years of age and older. Dr. Anderson also saw male patients for sexual dysfunction treatment at least one
day a week.
31
We located several resumes prepared by Dr. Anderson dated between 1975 and 2002. The resumes have
inconsistent dates for some of Dr. Anderson’s activities.

17
Dr. Anderson’s Career at the University of Michigan

18
B. Initial Years at the University of Michigan: 1966-1981

Dr. Anderson was employed by the University of Michigan from 1966 until his
retirement in 2003. From 1966 to 1981, his primary role at the University was with UHS. 32 He
joined UHS as an associate physician in September 1966, served as UHS Assistant Director from
July to September 1968, and became UHS Director on October 1, 1968. In or around 1967, as
part of his responsibilities at UHS, Dr. Anderson began serving as a team physician with the
University’s Athletic Department. 33 In 1968, Dr. Anderson also received an appointment as
Clinical Instructor I in Michigan Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine, a part-time role
with limited teaching responsibilities. Dr. Anderson continued in these three roles—UHS
Director, Athletic Department team physician, and Michigan Medicine clinical instructor—until
January 1980, when he stepped down as UHS Director but remained at UHS as a senior
physician. Dr. Anderson transferred from UHS to the Athletic Department in July 1981.

1. UHS Generally

UHS has been located at 207 Fletcher Street on the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor
campus since before Dr. Anderson’s start date. In the late 1960s, UHS employed at least twelve
physicians. It offered a general medical clinic, an emergency clinic, a small infirmary, and other
specialty clinics and medical services. 34 Each year, thousands of undergraduate and graduate
students, University employees (both faculty and staff), and their spouses and dependents
received medical care at UHS. UHS also maintained certain STI testing programs, which were
open to individuals with no University affiliation. 35

As UHS Director, Dr. Anderson had an office suite on the first floor of the Fletcher Street
building near a reception area where patients checked in for their appointments. 36 Dr.
Anderson’s office adjoined his personal examination room, which did not have a separate
entrance and was accessible only through his office. 37

32
Although we found no documentary evidence that Dr. Anderson worked at UHS before his start date of
September 1966, a few patients said that they thought they saw him there prior to that time.
33
As UHS Director, Dr. Anderson initially reported to the Vice President of Student Services. Beginning around
1972, Dr. Anderson began reporting to the Assistant Vice President of Student Services, who in turn reported to the
Vice President of Student Services.
34
The number of physicians employed by UHS grew over time; by about 1980, the general medical clinic alone had
a staff of sixteen full-time physicians.
35
See infra note 100.
36
Dr. Anderson’s secretary, and later an additional assistant, had a desk inside his suite, in front of Dr. Anderson’s
office. Dr. Anderson also kept hours at a UHS “satellite clinic” for Health Science students, which was located at
University Hospital.
37
Other UHS physicians’ offices had a similar layout at the time.

19
2. Patient Population

Dr. Anderson saw patients both by appointment and on a walk-in basis at UHS. His
patients included student athletes—including for issues unrelated to their athletic participation,
such as colds and other routine illnesses—as well as other members of the University
community. 38 UHS clinic clerks (and later, UHS registered nurses) assigned walk-in patients to
physicians through an informal triage system, which involved routing patients to providers based
on their specialties. One UHS receptionist told us that there was an unwritten protocol, enforced
by a UHS head nurse, pursuant to which certain male patients, including student athletes and
individuals seeking STI testing, were routed to Dr. Anderson. Other employees do not recall
such a protocol, but some said that Dr. Anderson mainly examined male student athletes and did
not see as many female patients.

In the late 1960s, Dr. Anderson recommended that a PPE program be instituted for all
student athletes (which included only males at the varsity level at that time). In November 1968,
Dr. Anderson asked Athletic Director Don Canham to inform “all coaches that preseason
physicals [we]re required,” and to implement a process whereby student athletes were issued “a
card to be turned into the[ir] coach certifying that health approval has been granted.” 39

Dr. Anderson performed PPEs at UHS. 40 He also saw student athletes, including for
PPEs, at Yost Field House and the Sports Services Building, which many former student athletes
and Athletic Department personnel refer to as “the football building.” Dr. Anderson generally
saw patients in a one-on-one setting at these venues. By at least 1979, Dr. Anderson’s team
physician role included staffing afternoon football practice sessions, home and away football
games, home hockey games, and Big Ten championship events.

Dr. Anderson saw patients unaffiliated with the University during his lunch break or after
hours at UHS, including for FAA physicals, life insurance examinations, and infertility
treatments. A former secretary and a former UHS clerk told us that Dr. Anderson paid them with

38
UHS and the Athletic Department engaged in a series of cost-sharing measures to facilitate the treatment of
student athletes. In a 1979 memorandum to Vice President of Student Services Henry Johnson, Dr. Anderson
explained that there were “two designated team physicians[,]” Dr. Anderson and Dr. Gerald O’Connor, an
orthopedic surgeon. The Athletic Department “pa[id] the Health Service a monthly stipend of $1,200.00 per month
for male athletes and $750.00 per month for female athletes. This stipend covers physical examinations, lab tests, x-
rays and pharmacy.” Dr. Anderson further explained that his salary was paid by UHS, and Dr. O’Connor’s salary
was paid by the Athletic Department and the University’s Medical Center, which later became known as UMHS.
39
We received conflicting information about whether student athletes were required to receive their PPEs through
the University during this period or could satisfy the requirement with a physical from a personal physician.
However, since at least the 1990s, the Athletic Department has required PPEs to be performed by University doctors
to enable the Athletic Department to maintain certain standards of care and keep more complete medical records for
student athletes.
40
We received conflicting information about whether Dr. Anderson performed all of the Athletic Department’s
PPEs or whether other physicians also performed some of these examinations. Most witnesses recalled that Dr.
Anderson performed at least the large majority of PPEs, but several former student athletes told us they recalled
lining up with their teams to see either Dr. Anderson or another physician.

20
his own funds for their help with scheduling and insurance billing for patients who were not
affiliated with the University.

3. Responsibilities as a Clinical Instructor and Lecturer

In 1968, Dr. Anderson received an appointment as Clinical Instructor I in Michigan


Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine. This was a part-time position with limited
teaching responsibilities. 41 From 1971 to 1978, Dr. Anderson also had an appointment as a
lecturer in the Department of Medical Care Organization 42 in the University’s School of Public
Health. 43

In 1973, Dr. Anderson was appointed Clinical Instructor I in Michigan Medicine’s


Department of Surgery, Section of Urology. 44 This appointment primarily related to his work
supervising the Urology Section’s weekly male fertility clinic, where he provided clinical care
and supervised residents and medical students who rotated through the clinic. Dr. Anderson was
not a urologist, but he took an interest in andrology, an area of medicine focused on male
reproductive health. 45

4. Resignation as UHS Director

In January 1980, Dr. Anderson resigned as UHS Director, but he remained at UHS as a
senior physician. He continued to see patients at UHS, though several UHS employees said they
saw him there infrequently after he stepped down as Director. Dr. Anderson remained on the
UHS staff until July 1981, when he transferred to the Athletic Department and ceased to have
any formal affiliation with UHS.

C. Continued Service in the Athletic Department: 1981-1999

Dr. Anderson was a senior physician in the Athletic Department from July 1981 until
October 1984, and he continued working there as a physician from November 1984 until June

41
Dr. Anderson participated in teaching clinical medicine courses at least in the 1967-1968, 1970-1971, 1973-1974,
and 1974-1975 academic years.
42
An employment form dated June 1976 in Dr. Anderson’s personnel file does not reflect that he was recommended
to continue as a lecturer (although it does reflect such recommendations for Dr. Anderson’s UHS and Michigan
Medicine roles). His Medical Care Organization appointment nevertheless appears to have continued. Another
employment form from 1977 reflects that Dr. Anderson was recommended for the lecturer position, and he
continued in the position until 1978. We were unable to determine if the lack of recommendation in 1976 was an
administrative error. One individual who signed the 1976 form had no recollection of it, and we did not hear any
concerns about Dr. Anderson’s performance as a lecturer.
43
The Department of Medical Care Organization is now the Department of Health Management and Policy.
44
In 2001, the Urology Section became a standalone Department.
45
Andrology is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Physicians can now complete an
andrology certification course through the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, which is accredited by the
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.

21
1999. 46 As the men’s and women’s athletic departments merged into a single unified department
in the 1990s and the student athlete population grew, the Athletic Department brought on
additional physicians to provide medical care to student athletes. 47 Dr. Anderson provided care
across sports, including football, track, and wrestling, among others.

Dr. Anderson saw student athletes in the Sports Services Building, and then in the new
football facility, Schembechler Hall, beginning in 1991. In addition to practice facilities, training
areas, and office space, Schembechler Hall had a medical suite, which included offices for
physicians (including Dr. Anderson) and several examination rooms. Dr. Anderson performed
PPEs and treated student athletes for minor injuries and illnesses. PPEs were typically set up by
athletic trainers and were usually conducted as individual appointments.

Dr. Anderson also maintained a private practice during this period. By 1979, he had
entered into a professional relationship with an obstetrics and gynecology practice, Ann Arbor
Reproductive Medicine, located on Clark Road in Ypsilanti, Michigan. As of at least 1982, Dr.
Anderson also maintained a solo practice in the same Clark Road building. 48 At his Clark Road
office Dr. Anderson focused on general internal medicine, sports physicals, FAA physical
examinations, and fertility and male reproductive health. He saw adults from the community as
well as University student athletes, who his office manager understood were referred by UHS or
the Athletic Department.

Dr. Anderson remained a clinical instructor at Michigan Medicine in both Internal


Medicine (from 1968 through 1984) and Urology (from 1973 through 1991). 49 In the early to
mid-1990s, he supervised several medical students who completed clinical rotations at the Clark
Road practice. 50

Dr. Anderson had a stroke in 1992 and emergency heart surgery in 1994. He resumed his
role as a team physician when he recovered and remained in that role until 1999. 51

46
After Dr. Anderson’s transfer from UHS, the Athletic Department was responsible for his salary. Although Dr.
Anderson’s personnel records reflect that his role with the Athletic Department ended in 1999, he may have been
replaced as team physician in 1998.
47
Dr. O’Connor was the orthopedic surgeon for the Athletic Department for much of Dr. Anderson’s tenure as team
physician. Dr. Anderson and Dr. O’Connor were initially the only team physicians; other physicians were added in
the 1980s and 1990s.
48
One person we interviewed recalled working as a clerk in Dr. Anderson’s private practice beginning around 1978.
However, the articles of incorporation indicate that Dr. Anderson incorporated his practice, “Robert E. Anderson,
M.D., P.C.,” effective September 1, 1982. The practice was initially located at 3075 Clark Road and relocated to
4990 Clark Road around 1987.
49
A resume prepared by Dr. Anderson states that he “periodically” taught “Sophomore Physical Diagnosis” from
1980 to 1996. We have located no student evaluations or other documentation related to this teaching activity.
50
Contemporaneous student evaluations of these experiences reflect no concerns about Dr. Anderson.
51
In 1993, Dr. Anderson requested a “phased retirement program” from the Athletic Department over the following
three years. From August to November 1994, the Department hired an interim team physician to fill in for Dr.
Anderson following his heart surgery.

D. Practice at Michigan Medicine: 1995-2003

1. Acquisition of the Clark Road Practice

The University acquired Dr. Anderson’s Clark Road practice in 1995 as part of an
initiative to expand Michigan Medicine’s primary care network. No one we interviewed
recalled, and none of the documents we reviewed reflect, why Dr. Anderson’s practice in
particular was acquired.

It is unclear what due diligence was conducted as part of the acquisition of Dr.
Anderson’s practice. 52 Physicians at acquired practices were subject to a diligence process to
receive credentials allowing them to see patients at Michigan Medicine, but we could not
determine whether the acquisition of Dr. Anderson’s practice depended on the outcome of this
process. 53 Dr. Anderson’s credentials were approved after the effective date of the acquisition.

2. Dr. Anderson’s Michigan Medicine Practice

When the University acquired Dr. Anderson’s practice, he received an appointment as


Clinical Instructor II in Michigan Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine. He continued to
practice as a general internist, andrologist, and certified FAA Aviation Medical Examiner at his
Clark Road office until 1998, when his practice moved to EAA. He supervised both medical
students and residents, first at Clark Road, then at EAA. 54 He also had limited involvement in
teaching clinical courses to medical students. 55 In 2000, Dr. Anderson was promoted to Clinical
Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine; his responsibilities remained the same.

Dr. Anderson retired from EAA in 2003. We found no evidence that he interacted with
patients after his retirement.

52
We were not able to locate the acquisition contract(s) and found only limited records related to the acquisition
more generally. No one we interviewed recalled learning of any complaints against Dr. Anderson during the
acquisition process. An individual from the Internal Medicine Department who was involved in the acquisition
recalled that Dr. Anderson was a well-respected community practitioner at the time of the acquisition. The
acquisition team received three letters regarding Dr. Anderson, all of which recommended his practice.
53
See infra Section IV.C. for a discussion of the credentialing process.
54
Between the late 1990s and his retirement in 2003, Dr. Anderson supervised approximately forty-five medical
students. We identified and reviewed approximately thirty medical student evaluations. Dr. Anderson was
generally rated near the mean for Internal Medicine faculty. During that same period, Dr. Anderson also supervised
at least ten residents, but the nature and extent of his interactions with them is unclear; former colleagues do not
recall Dr. Anderson serving as an attending physician for EAA’s resident clinic. We reviewed all available
evaluations by residents; Dr. Anderson was rated below the mean for General Medicine and Internal Medicine
faculty. The evaluations do not include any comments or explanations of the ratings.
55
According to a resume he prepared, Dr. Anderson taught “Introduction to the Patient” for first-year medical
students from 1998 to 2002. We have located no student evaluations related to Dr. Anderson’s courses, nor do Dr.
Anderson’s colleagues at EAA or Internal Medicine administrators recall him having any teaching role at the
Medical School.

23
III. Dr. Anderson’s Misconduct

Dr. Anderson committed sexual misconduct on countless occasions during his nearly four
decades as a University employee. He engaged in practices that were improper in a clinical or
educational setting—and would have been improper in any other setting. This finding is based
on information received from almost 600 of Dr. Anderson’s former patients and interviews of
more than 300 of those patients, approximately ninety percent of whom were male. We
recognize that this group of patients represents only a fraction of the total patients treated by Dr.
Anderson in University settings between the late 1960s and early 2000s. In all likelihood, Dr.
Anderson abused many patients in addition to those who provided information to us.

With limited exceptions, we did not verify, and had no way to verify, the information
patients provided to us about their individual clinical interactions with Dr. Anderson. As noted
above in Section I.C., most contemporaneous medical records are no longer available. We also
note that public interest in this matter and the pendency of civil litigation in which some of the
people we interviewed are plaintiffs or class members could have influenced the accounts we
received.

Nevertheless, hundreds of patients, many with no other connection to one another,


described strikingly similar patterns of misconduct by Dr. Anderson. And as we explain below,
we uncovered evidence tending to corroborate some of what we were told. Thus, while we did
not verify the specifics of individual examinations, we have no doubt, based on the totality of the
evidence, that Dr. Anderson engaged in sexual misconduct with a large number of patients over
an extended period of time.

We also received information from roughly one hundred patients who felt they received
only appropriate and professional medical examinations and treatment from Dr. Anderson.
Many of these patients saw Dr. Anderson on multiple occasions without incident, and some used
Dr. Anderson for decades as their personal or family physician. However, patients reporting
positive interactions with Dr. Anderson were far outnumbered by those reporting experiences
that, at the time or in retrospect, they found deeply troubling. This was especially true of patients
on whom Dr. Anderson performed sensitive examinations—that is, hernia and/or genital and
rectal and/or prostate examinations of male patients, and breast and/or pelvic examinations of
female patients.

Based on all of the information we obtained and reviewed, and in conjunction with the
analysis and opinions of the medical experts we consulted, we conclude that: (1) Dr. Anderson
frequently performed sensitive examinations that were not medically indicated; (2) even when
such examinations may have been within the applicable standard of care, Dr. Anderson regularly
conducted them in a grossly inappropriate manner; and (3) Dr. Anderson repeatedly engaged in
conduct far outside the bounds of appropriate medical practice. 56

56
We organized the information we received from patients regarding Dr. Anderson’s misconduct into these three
categories. Many patients experienced misconduct that fits in multiple categories.

24
A. Dr. Anderson Conducted Medically Unnecessary Examinations

Dr. Anderson engaged in a pattern of performing sensitive examinations that were not
medically indicated, including during examinations for unrelated injuries and illnesses and
during PPEs student athletes were required to receive. Patients received hernia and/or genital,
rectal and/or prostate, and breast and/or pelvic examinations from Dr. Anderson while seeking
treatment for stomach ulcers, ankle sprains, injured elbows, respiratory infections, and other
ailments. And student athletes routinely received prostate and/or rectal examinations during
PPEs throughout Dr. Anderson’s tenure as a team physician. Examples of medically
unnecessary examinations performed by Dr. Anderson include the following: 57

● In 1968, an undergraduate student sought treatment at UHS for a sore throat and
laryngitis. During her examination, Dr. Anderson asked if she was pregnant and
then performed a pelvic examination. The patient reminded Dr. Anderson that
she was seeking treatment for a sore throat, but Dr. Anderson continued with the
pelvic examination, explaining that it was required to make sure she was not
pregnant.
● In 1970, a medical student sought treatment from Dr. Anderson at UHS for flu-
like symptoms. Dr. Anderson asked the patient to undress completely. During
the examination, Dr. Anderson “spent an inordinate amount of time” examining,
touching, and observing the patient’s testicles, a period the patient estimated at
five to ten minutes.
● In the fall of 1971, an undergraduate student sought treatment at UHS for an
upper respiratory issue, possibly related to allergies. During the examination, Dr.
Anderson performed hernia, genital, and prostate examinations. Dr. Anderson
“held [the patient’s] testicles in his hand” and asked if the patient had
“homosexual tendencies.” At the end of the visit, Dr. Anderson told the patient
that, if he returned to UHS, he should ask for Dr. Anderson because he examined
all of the male patients.
● A medical student sought treatment at UHS in the fall of 1975 for a sore throat.
Dr. Anderson performed a hernia check and a “forceful” digital rectal
examination during the appointment.
● A graduate student sought treatment at UHS for a sinus infection in the fall of
1975. Dr. Anderson performed a rectal examination on the patient, during which
he looked the patient “square in the eye” with a “grin on his face” and said, “That
feels good. I mean, normal.”
● A student athlete on the football team saw Dr. Anderson for annual PPEs in the
late 1970s and early 1980s. During each examination, Dr. Anderson applied
lubricant to his gloved finger and inserted his finger into the patient’s rectum,
causing the patient, on at least one occasion, to scream in pain.

57
The patient experiences detailed in this section offer a representative sample of the experiences that patients
described to us.

25
● In 1991, a student athlete on the football team sought treatment from Dr.
Anderson at Schembechler Hall for an injured knee. During the examination, Dr.
Anderson spent a “long period of time” examining the patient’s genitals.
● A student athlete on the wrestling team sought treatment from Dr. Anderson at
Schembechler Hall in 1998 because his shoulder was popping out of its socket.
After Dr. Anderson examined the patient’s shoulder, he stated something to the
effect of “since you’re here, I may as well check you for a hernia,” and then
performed a hernia check.

Each of the medical experts we consulted confirmed that sensitive examinations like the
ones described above are generally not indicated as part of an examination of college-age
patients for an illness or injury, or as part of a routine PPE, absent a history or symptoms
suggesting specific genitourinary or gastrointestinal risks, such as abdominal pain, blood in the
stool, or sores or lesions in the indicated area. It was never consistent with the standard of
care—in 1966, 2003, or today—to perform a genital or rectal examination on a patient seeking
treatment for a knee injury.

Some sensitive examinations were consistent with the standard of care for certain types
of routine examinations during the period Dr. Anderson was employed by the University. For
example, hernia and genital examinations were a standard component of PPEs, general
physicals, 58 and FAA examinations during Dr. Anderson’s employment. Setting aside the
question of how the examinations were performed, see Section III.B. below, the fact that Dr.
Anderson performed them does not necessarily indicate that the examinations were
inappropriate.

By contrast, rectal or prostate examinations were not part of standard PPEs or general
physicals for asymptomatic college-age males without relevant medical histories at any point
during Dr. Anderson’s University career. 59 Dozens of patients told us that Dr. Anderson
performed rectal or prostate examinations on them during their physical examinations. Virtually
none of those individuals described relevant symptoms or a medical history that might indicate
the need for a rectal or prostate examination at the time. 60 For a large group of patients with
whom we spoke—especially former student athletes—the rectal and/or prostate examinations
they received from Dr. Anderson were the primary experiences they wished to describe to us.

58
We use the term “general physical” to describe ordinary health screening examinations, such as annual well visits.
59
Rectal examinations were considered a standard component of an FAA physical examination until 1992.
60
To the extent that Dr. Anderson provided explanations for the sensitive examinations he performed, many of his
explanations were not consistent with the applicable standard of care. For example, numerous patients stated that
Dr. Anderson told them that he was performing a lengthy genital examination to identify varicoceles, a condition
involving the enlargement of veins in the scrotum that can reduce sperm production and cause infertility. However,
the medical experts concur that the possibility of finding varicoceles is not a sufficient reason, on its own, to conduct
a genital examination of a college-age male.

26
B. Dr. Anderson Repeatedly Performed Sensitive Examinations Inappropriately

Even when a sensitive examination may have been consistent with the applicable
standard of care, Dr. Anderson performed such examinations in a grossly inappropriate manner
numerous times. Dozens of patients told us, for example, that sensitive examinations lasted an
excessive length of time, including prolonged examinations of the penis, testicles, and/or
prostate. Dr. Anderson instructed some patients to fully disrobe during their examinations, and
although most patients recalled Dr. Anderson wearing gloves while performing genital and/or
rectal examinations, several patients told us that Dr. Anderson did not wear gloves when
performing those types of examinations.

On multiple occasions, Dr. Anderson invited his patients to look at or touch his own
genitalia during examinations. For instance, Dr. Anderson purported to “teach” several patients
how to perform sensitive self-examinations by dropping his pants and using his own body and
genitalia to model how to conduct the examinations. In multiple instances, Dr. Anderson
instructed patients to touch his body as part of these demonstrations, which included hernia and
prostate examinations. Several former medical students told us that Dr. Anderson demonstrated
how to perform sensitive examinations on patients by exposing himself and/or inviting students
to conduct the examination on Dr. Anderson’s own body during clinical experiences.

Examples of this type of misconduct include the following:

● A medical student sought treatment at UHS for chronic urethritis and prostatitis in
1969. Dr. Anderson examined the patient from behind, placing his left hand on
the patient’s penis and using a “masturbatory type of motion” for ten to fifteen
seconds.
● A patient saw Dr. Anderson numerous times at UHS during his undergraduate,
graduate, and doctoral studies in the 1960s and 1970s. On one occasion, Dr.
Anderson performed a hernia examination on the patient and then offered to show
the patient how to check for a hernia himself. Dr. Anderson did this by pulling
down his own pants and asking the patient to perform the hernia examination on
him. The patient “lifted up” Dr. Anderson’s penis and “felt around” Dr.
Anderson’s scrotum as requested. Dr. Anderson directed the examination, telling
the patient to “push harder” at one point.
● A University employee sought treatment from Dr. Anderson five or six times in or
around 1973. During some of the patient’s appointments, Dr. Anderson
undressed in front of the patient. During one appointment, Dr. Anderson asked
the patient to put his finger in Dr. Anderson’s rectum and feel his prostate,
explaining that he was teaching the patient where the prostate was located.
● A graduate student visited UHS for a physical examination in the mid-1970s.
During the appointment, the patient told Dr. Anderson that he was experiencing a
feeling of tightness in his foreskin and explained that he had been diagnosed with
a genital yeast infection the year before. Dr. Anderson disrobed from the waist
down, positioned himself on the examination table, and invited the patient to
examine his penis, purportedly to give the patient a basis for comparison with the
patient’s own genitalia.

27
● A student athlete saw Dr. Anderson regularly at UHS in the mid-1970s in
connection with his role as team physician. During one examination, Dr.
Anderson explained how hernias formed. Dr. Anderson pulled down his pants,
got on the examination table, and guided the patient’s hand onto his body, saying,
“Here is where the muscles are on me.”
● A graduate student visited UHS in 1979 for a pre-employment physical. At the
beginning of the examination, Dr. Anderson grabbed the waistband of the
patient’s shorts and pulled them down, stating, “We won’t be needing those
anymore.” Dr. Anderson then performed a lengthy testicular examination before
inserting a finger in the patient’s rectum while simultaneously squeezing the
patient’s penis. Dr. Anderson told the patient he was “milking” his prostate.
After a drop of seminal fluid was expelled from the patient’s penis, Dr. Anderson
collected the fluid and examined it under a microscope.
● In the 1990s, Dr. Anderson asked a medical student if the student had sufficient
experience performing testicular examinations. Dr. Anderson told the student that
he would demonstrate and performed an unusually long genital examination on
the student. Dr. Anderson also attempted to perform a prostate examination on
the student, and when the student refused, he directed the student to perform a
prostate examination on him. The student complied.
● In 2001, a patient saw Dr. Anderson for an FAA physical examination. Dr.
Anderson asked the patient to remove all of his clothing, pulled back the foreskin
of the patient’s uncircumcised penis, and closely inspected his genitals. The
patient subsequently received at least one FAA physical examination from
another physician, during which the patient remained fully clothed.

Multiple patients also described inappropriate commentary or questions from Dr.


Anderson during sensitive examinations. For example, several patients told us that Dr. Anderson
commented on the size of their penis. Another patient told us that Dr. Anderson commented on
the size of other patients’ penises, recalling that Dr. Anderson said some of the members of the
football team were “really hung.”

The practices illustrated by these incidents were clearly inappropriate. The medical
experts we consulted all agree that sensitive examinations performed during Dr. Anderson’s
career at the University:

● Should have been performed by a physician wearing gloves and required limited
contact with genitalia;
● In the case of hernia and rectal examinations, required only one finger;
● Should have lasted only a few seconds;
● Required patients to lower their pants only to the extent necessary to afford the
physician access to the pelvic region, and never required patients to disrobe fully;
● Could involve a physician teaching patients how to self-examine, with instruction
typically occurring while the physician conducted the examination at issue on the
patient;

28
● Could include questions about the patient’s sexual behavior or history to identify
the need for STI screening or education regarding safe sex practices, but not in a
judgmental or sexualized manner;
● Should never involve a physician disrobing, demonstrating an examination on
himself, or asking a patient to touch the physician’s genitals for any reason.

The medical experts also concur that it was not consistent with standards for medical
education during the relevant period for an instructor to require medical students to perform
sensitive examinations on the instructor.

C. Dr. Anderson Engaged in Conduct that Fell Far Outside the Bounds of
Appropriate Medical Practice

In addition to the scores of patients who received unnecessary or inappropriate sensitive


examinations from Dr. Anderson, a smaller group of patients described clinical experiences in
which Dr. Anderson engaged in overtly sexual conduct. These patients were fewer in number,
but their experiences were widely consistent with each other. The misconduct they detailed
suggests that, on numerous occasions over the course of his career at the University, Dr.
Anderson subjected patients to sexually abusive conduct that had no medical purpose,
contravened standard medical practice, and violated his medical and ethical duties.

For example, more than twenty male patients told us or DPSS that Dr. Anderson
manually stimulated their genitals and/or directed them to manually stimulate his genitals,
sometimes to the point of erection and sometimes to ejaculation. Other patients reported that Dr.
Anderson masturbated during their appointments. Two additional patients told us Dr. Anderson
proposed explicit quid pro quo arrangements involving conduct of a sexual nature in exchange
for expensive medication or a letter in support of a medical exemption from military service.
Several gay patients explained that they considered subjecting themselves to Dr. Anderson’s
inappropriate examinations as the cost for having their health concerns addressed. And one
patient described an instance of forcible rape in which Dr. Anderson put both hands around the
patient’s waist and inserted his penis into the patient’s anus.

Dr. Anderson’s patients reported the following to us or to DPSS: 61

● A patient saw Dr. Anderson on the University of Michigan campus (likely at


UHS) for a physical examination in 1965 or 1966. Dr. Anderson told the patient
to “strip down” and instructed him to do jumping jacks while naked. Dr.
Anderson then performed a prostate examination on the patient while
simultaneously grabbing the patient’s penis with his other hand. Dr. Anderson

61
In addition to descriptions of Dr. Anderson’s misconduct that patients provided directly to us or DPSS, we
identified two reports that Dr. Anderson’s patients made to LARA in 1988 and 1995. LARA no longer has records
relating to either complaint, and we could not establish contact with either complainant. One complainant told
DPSS in 2018 that he filed a report with LARA in 1995 that Dr. Anderson had “fondled his genitals” during a
physical examination at UHS sometime between 1973 and 1975, when the complainant was a student at the
University. We found no evidence that the University was aware of any complaints lodged with LARA.

29
“stroked” the patient’s penis until he ejaculated. The patient told DPSS that Dr.
Anderson observed the ejaculate and remarked, “Nice color.”
● A patient saw Dr. Anderson at UHS as an undergraduate in 1968 or 1969 for
treatment of a rash in his genital area. After examining the patient’s genitalia, Dr.
Anderson pulled down his own pants and underwear, exposing himself and stating
that he wanted to illustrate how a “penis and balls” should look. Dr. Anderson
then instructed the patient to touch Dr. Anderson’s genitals, and as the patient did
so, Dr. Anderson instructed him to “milk me.”
● An undergraduate student saw Dr. Anderson at UHS in the late 1960s seeking
support for a medical exemption from the Vietnam War-era draft. The patient’s
roommate told him that Dr. Anderson had a reputation for fondling students and
then providing them with a draft exemption letter, as long as the patients “ke[pt]
their mouths shut.” During the appointment, Dr. Anderson fondled the patient’s
scrotum during a purported hernia check. Then Dr. Anderson “lingered” for an
excessive amount of time while examining the patient’s rectum. When Dr.
Anderson examined the patient’s penis, he began “stroking” the patient as if to
masturbate him, causing the patient to obtain an erection. Following the
examination, Dr. Anderson wrote a letter detailing medical issues with the
patient’s feet and toenails, but the patient did not receive a medical exemption.
● An undergraduate student made an appointment with Dr. Anderson at UHS for a
physical examination in 1969 or 1970 in hopes that Dr. Anderson would help him
avoid the draft. Dr. Anderson diagnosed a heart murmur. When the patient asked
Dr. Anderson for a letter documenting the diagnosis, Dr. Anderson asked him to
make himself available for physical examinations with medical students present
so that they could hear the murmur. The patient agreed and received at least ten
physical examinations by Dr. Anderson at UHS. At one of those visits, Dr.
Anderson conducted a digital rectal examination and asked the patient if it “made
his penis tingle.” Dr. Anderson later wrote a note for the patient supporting a
medical exemption.
● A law student visited UHS in the early 1970s to seek care for sexual health
concerns. During one appointment the patient told Dr. Anderson that although he
was married to a woman, he thought he might be gay. Dr. Anderson advised the
patient to keep his sexuality secret and to have sexual encounters outside of
marriage. Dr. Anderson then brought the patient into the examination room and
locked the door. Purporting to show the patient how to check a potential sexual
partner for STIs, Dr. Anderson lay down on the table and pulled down his pants.
Dr. Anderson then directed the patient to stroke Dr. Anderson’s penis until he
ejaculated, after which he purported to show the patient how to examine ejaculate
for STIs.
● An undergraduate student sought treatment at UHS in 1971 for a suspected
urinary tract infection or STI. While drawing blood from the patient’s arm, Dr.
Anderson proceeded to “grind his crotch” into the patient’s hand. With the needle
still inserted in the patient’s arm, Dr. Anderson informed the patient that the
medicine he might need for treatment would be expensive, but that Dr. Anderson

30
could “handle” the cost if the patient agreed to give Dr. Anderson oral sex. The
patient performed oral sex on Dr. Anderson in exchange for the medication.
● An undergraduate student saw Dr. Anderson at UHS for treatment of an STI in
1971 or 1972. The patient sought out Dr. Anderson because “there was no other
doctor where a gay man could go with a gay problem.” One of the patient’s
friends, also an undergraduate, told the patient that, during his own appointment,
Dr. Anderson “pulled out a tube of KY jelly” and masturbated him. Another
friend, a non-student patient, said that “he knew Dr. Anderson would treat him,”
but “there was a cost, and the cost was sex.”
● An undergraduate student visited UHS in 1972 seeking treatment in connection
with serial yeast infections that he and his girlfriend were experiencing. The
patient was initially seen by a physician who, after hearing the patient’s concern,
said that “this is something Dr. Anderson handles” and left the examination room.
When Dr. Anderson entered the room, he asked the patient to disrobe and
examined the patient’s genitals. Dr. Anderson said he needed to see the patient
“in an aroused state” and manipulated the patient’s genitals until he had an
erection. The patient pulled away, at which point Dr. Anderson called him a
“dirty immoral hippie.”
● A patient visited UHS for a physical examination in 1973. During the
examination, Dr. Anderson inserted his finger in the patient’s rectum and
stimulated the patient’s penis with his other hand. The patient became erect but
did not ejaculate. Dr. Anderson remarked that “most people would have
ejaculated by now” and then told the patient that the patient needed to ejaculate
because he had “too much sperm.”
● A graduate student visited UHS in the mid-1970s for treatment of a “funny
sensation in his penis.” During his examination, Dr. Anderson remarked that the
patient’s penis was “pretty large.” Dr. Anderson then told the patient that he
needed to obtain a semen sample from the patient so that he could observe its
color to determine if the patient had an STI. Dr. Anderson pulled down his own
pants and began to masturbate. When Dr. Anderson ejaculated, he and the patient
observed the color of his semen. Dr. Anderson then manually stimulated the
patient’s penis until he ejaculated.
● A student visited UHS in 1978 or 1979 to seek treatment for a dermatological
issue on his penis. Dr. Anderson asked the patient to remove his pants, and Dr.
Anderson proceeded to manipulate the patient’s penis, noting that it was “going to
get hard.” The patient obtained an erection, and then Dr. Anderson placed the
patient’s arm between Dr. Anderson’s own legs where the patient could feel Dr.
Anderson’s genitalia. Dr. Anderson then stated, “We can meet in private if you
want more of this.” The patient refused, got dressed, and left the examination
room. 62
● In 1979, a medical student saw a flyer on a medical school bulletin board noting
that Dr. Anderson was seeking paid participants for a study on sperm motility.
62
This patient declined to speak with us but provided written answers to our questions.

31
After filling out medical history paperwork, the medical student was enrolled in
the study and went to UHS for a medical examination with Dr. Anderson. During
the visit, Dr. Anderson performed a genital examination and spent an “inordinate
amount of time” massaging the patient’s testicles. At the conclusion of the
examination, Dr. Anderson alluded to other ways the student could earn money
“more on a personal level,” which the student interpreted as a sexual solicitation.
The student declined the offer.
● A student athlete sought treatment from Dr. Anderson at UHS in the late 1970s or
early 1980s for a suspected STI. While examining the patient’s genitals, Dr.
Anderson began masturbating the patient until the patient ejaculated, stating that
he needed to “get some size” to the patient’s penis so that he could check for
“crabs crawling around.” After the patient ejaculated, Dr. Anderson let the
patient’s semen “stay in his hands” and asked the patient whether the examination
“fe[lt] good.”

The medical experts we consulted advise that it was never appropriate, medically
necessary, or consistent with professional standards for:

● A physician to manually stimulate a patient during a medical appointment,


including a physical examination or PPE, to the point of erection or ejaculation;
● A physician to make sexual contact with patients, including manual stimulation,
oral sex, or anal penetration;
● A physician to propose or enter into any quid pro quo arrangement with a patient,
such as soliciting sexual contact in exchange for medical care or a medical
diagnosis in support of a draft deferment or exemption.

To state the obvious, Dr. Anderson’s suggestion and initiation of sexual contact with
patients, as exemplified above, was grossly violative of the doctor-patient relationship. This
conduct had no medical justification whatsoever.

* * *

The patient experiences included in this Report are not an exhaustive accounting of Dr.
Anderson’s misconduct. Many patients who shared information with us may not see their
specific experiences reflected. That does not reflect a judgment on our part that those patients
were not credible or that their experiences were not significant. Rather, it is a necessary
consequence of the scope and duration of Dr. Anderson’s misconduct, such that it is impossible
to chronicle every improper incident. He performed sensitive examinations that were not
indicated, conducted lengthy, unnecessary, and inappropriate genital, rectal, and other sensitive
examinations, and committed grossly improper behavior with his patients that constituted sexual
assault by any definition.

Scores of former students told us that Dr. Anderson’s misconduct significantly disrupted
their academic, extracurricular, and social experiences. Some effects were immediate; others
played out over time. Some patients say they dropped out of the University or quit their sports
teams at least in part because of their experiences with Dr. Anderson. Others described

32
emotional and psychological effects that persisted throughout their years at the University and
beyond.

IV. Awareness of Dr. Anderson’s Misconduct

At least a small number of University personnel were aware from early days of concerns
about Dr. Anderson’s conduct with patients. In addition, there were other indications, including
widespread rumors about Dr. Anderson, that could have led to discovery of his misconduct had
they been understood and pursued.

First, in July 1975, Tad DeLuca, a member of the wrestling team, sent a letter to head
wrestling coach Bill Johannesen and assistant wrestling coach Cal Jenkins that, among other
things, included a complaint about Dr. Anderson. Neither Mr. Johannesen nor Mr. Jenkins
inquired about Dr. Anderson’s conduct or referred the matter for investigation by others.

Second, in or around 1979 to 1981, senior University administrator Thomas Easthope


received complaints regarding Dr. Anderson’s misconduct on at least three separate occasions.
Mr. Easthope, who had supervisory authority over UHS, was told directly and explicitly about
Dr. Anderson’s misconduct and failed to take proper action to address it.

Third, the University failed to investigate persistent and widespread rumors about Dr.
Anderson. We found that at least some personnel in UHS and the Athletic Department heard or
were aware of jokes, banter, and innuendo about Dr. Anderson’s conduct with patients, but they
did not recognize such comments as cause for concern.

Fourth, the University did not conduct due diligence with respect to a 1995 lawsuit
alleging that Dr. Anderson assaulted a patient during a pre-employment physical. Dr. Anderson
himself disclosed the lawsuit on an application for Michigan Medicine credentials in September
1996.

A. Tad DeLuca’s 1975 Letter

Mr. DeLuca entered the University of Michigan on a full athletic scholarship in 1972 and
was a member of the University’s wrestling team for the next three years. Between 1972 and
1975, Mr. DeLuca received at least five rectal examinations from Dr. Anderson while seeking
treatment for ailments such as a dislocated elbow and cold sores on his face.

In January 1975, a member of the football team told Mr. DeLuca that Dr. Anderson was a
“pervert” who was conducting unnecessary rectal and genital examinations for seemingly
unrelated illnesses. Mr. DeLuca was shocked and decided that he would never see Dr. Anderson
again. According to Mr. DeLuca, a chronic elbow injury—and his refusal to seek treatment for it
based at least in part on his aversion to Dr. Anderson’s examinations—hampered his ability to
wrestle, his attitude toward wrestling, and, as a consequence, his standing on the team.

On May 9, 1975, Mr. Johannesen wrote a letter to Mr. DeLuca criticizing what Mr.
Johannesen perceived as Mr. DeLuca’s lack of effort and warning that he would be removed

33
from the team if his attitude did not improve. 63 In July 1975, Mr. DeLuca responded by sending
a ten-page handwritten letter to Mr. Johannesen and Mr. Jenkins. 64 The letter covered a wide
range of issues, including the negative consequences of Mr. DeLuca’s wrestling injuries and his
broader dissatisfaction with the wrestling program. Mr. DeLuca said this about Dr. Anderson on
the second page:

According to Dr. “drop your drawers” Anderson, nothing is wrong


with me. At Christmas, it was found by the Stanton University
report that I had hepatitis, among other things. Proof available
upon request. Something is wrong with Dr. Anderson. Regardless
of what you were there for, he asks that you “drop your drawers”
and cough. 65

Mr. DeLuca went on to say that he “no longer want[ed] to be an athlete,” but he promised to
“return and give wrestling my whole-hearted effort, provided that I am treated as a man and my
welfare is not overlooked.”

Mr. Johannesen wrote back on July 24, 1975, notifying Mr. DeLuca that he was being
removed from the wrestling team. Mr. Johannesen made no reference to Mr. DeLuca’s
complaint about Dr. Anderson. The following day Athletic Director Don Canham made it
official. In a letter to Mr. DeLuca, Mr. Canham stated, “Based upon your letter to Coach Bill
Johannesen and your decision to ‘no longer want to be an athlete,’ your financial aid from the
University of Michigan will not be in effect for the 1975-76 school year.” Although Mr.
Canham referenced Mr. DeLuca’s letter, there is no way to know if Mr. Canham read it, or even
saw it. Mr. Canham is deceased. Mr. DeLuca, for his part, does not believe that his scholarship
was revoked based on his complaint about Dr. Anderson.

Mr. DeLuca appealed the revocation of his scholarship to the University’s Board in
Control of Intercollegiate Athletics (“Board in Control”). 66 In late September 1975, he appeared
with legal counsel before the Board in Control. Mr. DeLuca believes that the members of the
Board in Control had before them copies of his July 1975 letter to Mr. Johannesen, but no one

63
When WilmerHale interviewed Mr. Johannesen, he stated that he wrote the May 1975 letter in part because Mr.
DeLuca missed two wrestling practices without an adequate excuse. Mr. DeLuca denies missing any practices; he
told us that even if he could not wrestle due to an injury, he was still “in the room.”
64
Mr. Jenkins does not recall Mr. DeLuca’s letter.
65
Mr. DeLuca also noted that he sought care from Dr. Anderson in connection with his injured elbow, writing in
part: “Another problem that still plagues me is my elbow. It seems to come out. The other day it came out while I
was carrying some boards. A few months ago, Dr. Anderson assured me that it was OK. That same night it came
out in practice. I didn’t complain because no one really believed me. It came out at least 20 times in practice, while
drying my back with a towel, and even while sleeping. It was a real thrill to wake up at night after dreaming about
arm pain and finding your elbow out of socket.”
66
The Board in Control was formed in 1893 to establish a degree of faculty control over the Athletic Department
and to oversee the athletic policy and financial management of the University’s athletic program. In September
1975, the Board in Control was chaired by Mr. Canham and consisted of nine faculty members, four alumni, two
student representatives, and three ex-officio members.

34
asked him any questions about Dr. Anderson. 67 Shortly after the meeting, the Board in Control
reinstated Mr. DeLuca’s scholarship, but Mr. DeLuca elected not to rejoin the team.

Mr. Johannesen does not recall receiving complaints about Dr. Anderson from any
members of the wrestling team, including Mr. DeLuca. Mr. Johannesen also does not recall
receiving Mr. DeLuca’s July 1975 letter and maintains that Mr. DeLuca “never verbalized” to
him that “something [was] wrong with Dr. Anderson.” By the time Mr. Johannesen received Mr.
DeLuca’s letter, the coach had already given up on Mr. DeLuca as a wrestler. It did not occur to
Mr. Johannesen that Mr. DeLuca’s performance was affected by his experiences with Dr.
Anderson. Mr. Johannesen told us that if any student athlete had told him that a doctor was
doing “weird stuff,” he would have reported it immediately to Mr. Canham or to the President of
the University.

Mr. Johannesen does recall hearing some “scuttlebutt,” joking, and laughing among the
members of the wrestling team about Dr. Anderson, such as “you go to see Dr. Anderson for a
sore elbow and he tells you to take your pants down.” But Mr. Johannesen told us that no one
ever said, “Hey, Coach, there’s something weird about this doctor.”

It seems plausible that Mr. Johannesen missed Mr. DeLuca’s comment about Dr.
Anderson altogether—the handwritten letter was long and hard to read; Dr. Anderson was
mentioned only briefly; and Mr. Johannesen had already made up his mind that Mr. DeLuca was
not going to make a positive contribution to the team. It also seems likely that Mr. Johannesen
paid no mind to the locker room talk about Dr. Anderson. As a result, Mr. Johannesen never
asked any questions about Dr. Anderson or raised any concerns about him to anyone else. As
discussed in Section V below, Mr. DeLuca’s concerns about Dr. Anderson were not investigated
until more than forty years later, when Mr. DeLuca wrote another letter, to Athletic Director
Warde Manuel, in July 2018.

67
We tried to find and speak with each living person who served on the Board in Control in September 1975.
Former Vice President of Student Services Henry Johnson, who was an ex-officio member of the Board in Control
at this time, does not recall hearing any complaints about Dr. Anderson while he was a member of the Board, does
not recall Mr. DeLuca or any athlete contesting a lost scholarship before the Board, and does not recall Mr.
DeLuca’s letter. We also spoke with two former faculty members, one former student member, and one former
alumni member, none of whom has any recollection of Mr. DeLuca’s appeal of his scholarship revocation or his
July 1975 letter.

35
B. Reports to Thomas Easthope and Dr. Anderson’s Resignation from UHS

Thomas Easthope was named Assistant Vice President of Student Services in 1972; he
was promoted to Associate Vice President in July 1980. 68 In both roles he reported directly to
Vice President of Student Services Henry Johnson, who reported to the President of the
University. Mr. Easthope oversaw several divisions within Student Services, including UHS,
and handled employee personnel issues for Student Services. 69

Mr. Easthope received specific reports about Dr. Anderson’s misconduct at least three
separate times:

● In or around late 1978 or 1979, James “Jim” Toy, an employee in the University’s
Human Sexuality Office and the University’s Gay Male Advocate, informed Mr.
Easthope that Dr. Anderson was “fooling around with boys” at UHS. 70
● In the fall of 1979, Marvin Parnes and Jane Hassinger, counselors in the
University’s Counseling Services Office, 71 reported Dr. Anderson to Mr.
Easthope based on information they heard from a medical student and during
counseling sessions with students.
● In late 1980 and early 1981, Keith Moree, a student volunteer in the Human
Sexuality Office, complained to Mr. Easthope, with the assistance of Mr. Toy,
about Dr. Anderson’s misconduct during a May 1980 examination at UHS.

Mr. Easthope told us and testified that he fired Dr. Anderson after learning of his
misconduct. But Mr. Easthope’s recollection is contradicted by contemporaneous evidence that
shows that Dr. Anderson was never fired. Instead, he stepped down as UHS Director in January
1980; although his decision to do so may have been related to what Mr. Easthope had heard, the
documentary evidence reflects that Dr. Anderson’s resignation was voluntary. Nor could Mr.
Easthope have thought, at the time, that Dr. Anderson had been fired. Mr. Easthope signed the
employment form effectuating Dr. Anderson’s change in status from UHS Director to a UHS
senior physician; Mr. Easthope also signed an employment form approving a salary increase for
Dr. Anderson effective in September 1980.

Contemporaneous evidence also shows that, in late 1980 and early 1981, Mr. Easthope
again received information concerning Dr. Anderson’s misconduct, this time from Mr. Toy and
Mr. Moree. Mr. Easthope did not fire Dr. Anderson then either. Instead, in July 1981 Dr.

68
Mr. Easthope was deposed in the civil litigation in July and August 2020. We reviewed the transcript of his
deposition and then interviewed Mr. Easthope for approximately four hours in October 2020. Our efforts to
interview Mr. Easthope again early this year were unsuccessful. Mr. Easthope died in February 2021.
69
As early as April 1976, Mr. Easthope also served as the Unit Title IX Coordinator for Student Services.
70
As set out in Detective Ryan Cavanaugh’s November 15, 2018 affidavit in support of a search warrant during the
DPSS investigation, Mr. Easthope told DPSS that he heard this information in “late 1978 or 1979.” In his interview
with us almost two years later, Mr. Easthope acknowledged receiving this information from Mr. Toy but told us he
did not recall when, other than that it occurred while Dr. Anderson was UHS Director.
71
The Counseling Services Office later became known as “Counseling and Psychological Services” or “CAPS.”

36
Anderson transferred from UHS to the Athletic Department, where he was no longer within Mr.
Easthope’s purview.

1. Jim Toy’s Concerns Regarding Dr. Anderson

In 1971, Mr. Toy founded the Human Sexuality Office, within the University’s Student
Services, as a resource for gay and lesbian students. Mr. Toy served as the Gay Male Advocate 72
in the Human Sexuality Office from 1971 until 1994. Among other things, the Human Sexuality
Office provided counseling services and referred students to medical providers, including
through a “Gay Hotline” managed by Mr. Toy and volunteers. As early as December 1978, a
referral list used by the Human Sexuality Office identified Dr. Anderson, among other UHS
physicians, as someone patients could see for medical care.

Documentary evidence from 1980 shows that Mr. Toy had concerns about Dr.
Anderson’s conduct with patients. 73 Mr. Toy noted in February 1980 that Dr. Anderson was
“risky.” Handwritten notes on a July 1980 medical referral list found in Mr. Toy’s papers in the
Bentley Library described Dr. Anderson as “iffy” and noted that clients should be “warn[ed]”
about him. Another provider list created around the same time included a notation that the
Human Sexuality Office received “mixed feedback” about Dr. Anderson, and instructed
volunteers to “please say so when referring [patients] to him[.]”

A student who volunteered in the Human Sexuality Office around that time recalls
rumors circulating widely in the Ann Arbor gay community between 1978 and 1981 to the effect
that a football team physician who worked at UHS—a description that could only apply to Dr.
Anderson—engaged in “unnecessary sexualized” examinations with patients at UHS, including
with student athletes. The doctor was rumored to perform examinations that were unrelated to
the patient’s reason for seeking medical care; it was said that the doctor required male patients to
maintain an erection during genital examinations and used an unspecified instrument to “stretch”
patients’ anuses. According to the student volunteer, Mr. Toy encouraged students to raise
complaints about the doctor.

2. Mr. Easthope’s Confrontation with Dr. Anderson

Mr. Easthope acknowledged that Mr. Toy told him that Dr. Anderson was “fooling
around with boys.” From what Mr. Toy relayed at the time, Mr. Easthope understood that Dr.
Anderson was taking advantage of gay students (whom Mr. Toy did not identify by name).
Although Mr. Easthope did not recall exactly when his conversation with Mr. Toy occurred, he
was certain that Dr. Anderson was still UHS Director at the time, which means it happened
sometime before January 14, 1980. We found no reference to the conversation in any of the
contemporaneous documents we reviewed.

72
This may have been an informal title. Mr. Toy’s position was also referred to as “Human Sexuality Program
Coordinator.”
73
Mr. Toy, who is ninety-one years old, had difficulty remembering certain details from this time period. He does
not recall receiving any complaints about Dr. Anderson or any conversations with Mr. Easthope about Dr.
Anderson.

37
Mr. Easthope told us he was so alarmed by what Mr. Toy told him that he walked across
the University “diag” to confront Dr. Anderson. According to Mr. Easthope, he went to Dr.
Anderson’s office at UHS and told him, “Bob, you’re outta here.” As Mr. Easthope recalled it,
Dr. Anderson looked at him with a “dumb look” and made no effort to deny any misconduct.

According to Mr. Easthope, before confronting Dr. Anderson, he informed his own
supervisor, Mr. Johnson, that they needed to “get rid” of Dr. Anderson. While he did not recall
the specifics of his conversation with Mr. Johnson, Mr. Easthope maintained during our
interview that he clearly conveyed that Dr. Anderson engaged in “unacceptable behavior” related
to sexual misconduct. 74 Mr. Johnson denies ever being made aware of any complaints about Dr.
Anderson’s misconduct with patients, including by Mr. Easthope or Mr. Toy. 75 We found no
documentary evidence to the contrary.

Mr. Easthope did not remember telling anyone else about Dr. Anderson’s alleged
misconduct, except possibly Dr. Caesar (“Cy”) Briefer, who served as UHS Director from
January 1981 until his retirement in 1999. Dr. Briefer is deceased. 76 In his deposition, Mr.
Easthope testified that he did not inform the Athletic Department of the allegations against Dr.
Anderson. He did not recall requesting an investigation by UHS, the University of Michigan
Police Department, the Ann Arbor Police Department, or LARA. Nor did Mr. Easthope recall
telling anyone in the Affirmative Action Office or the President’s Office about Mr. Toy’s
allegations. 77

3. Counseling Services Employees Report Dr. Anderson’s Misconduct

Mr. Easthope was informed about Dr. Anderson on other occasions. In late 1979, Jane
Hassinger and Marvin Parnes, who were then psychological counselors in the University’s
Counseling Services Office, received information about Dr. Anderson that they found
disturbing. 78 Ms. Hassinger and Mr. Parnes reported the information together to Mr. Easthope.

Ms. Hassinger recalls hearing specific allegations of misconduct by Dr. Anderson from
three individuals:
● In or about 1977, a gay male student told Ms. Hassinger that Dr. Anderson
subjected him to inappropriate, prolonged, and invasive examinations, including a

74
Mr. Easthope provided inconsistent testimony on this topic during his deposition. Compare Thomas Easthope
Deposition 68:3-68:8, Doe MC-1 v. University of Michigan, No. 2:20-cv-10568 (E.D. Mich.) (“Actually, I have no
memory of what I said to Henry Johnson at all.”), with Thomas Easthope Deposition 204:6-204:14 (“I had an
opportunity to read the transcript since it was published and there was one part in there that I want to make clear. It
says in there, I believe, I didn’t broadcast it. That doesn’t mean I didn’t tell Henry. I told Henry, but I guess it could
have been interpreted that I didn’t tell anyone, and I didn’t want that to go down because that would not be true.”).
75
We interviewed Mr. Johnson in June 2020 and February 2021. He was deposed in the civil litigation in February
2021. In both of our interviews and his deposition, Mr. Johnson denied having any knowledge of Dr. Anderson’s
misconduct.
76
Mr. Easthope testified at his deposition that he may have told Dr. Briefer that Dr. Anderson had been “accused,”
but he could not recall the details of any such conversation.
77
OIE was not created until 2003.

Ms. Hassinger and Mr. Parnes are married. We interviewed them jointly.

38
rectal examination. The student had specifically sought out Dr. Anderson because
of his progressive, gay-sensitive reputation.
● Around the same time, a member of the football team told Ms. Hassinger that Dr.
Anderson performed an invasive examination unrelated to the issue for which the
student athlete had sought medical care. The student athlete was angry about the
examination but was unwilling to share details with Ms. Hassinger.
● In early 1978, a medical student told Ms. Hassinger that Dr. Anderson required
male students to participate in classes involving genital examinations in Dr.
Anderson’s office at UHS. The medical student told Ms. Hassinger that the
students did not report Dr. Anderson for fear of losing their scholarships and draft
deferments.

Mr. Parnes recalls hearing complaints about Dr. Anderson from multiple students in the
1970s, including another member of the football team who told him about an inappropriate
experience with Dr. Anderson during a broader conversation about the student’s issues with the
Athletic Department.

According to Ms. Hassinger and Mr. Parnes, they jointly reported Dr. Anderson to Mr.
Easthope, whose responsibilities included oversight of the Counseling Services Office, in the fall
of 1979. Ms. Hassinger recalls speaking with Mr. Easthope about Dr. Anderson on several
occasions and describing the allegations in some detail. According to Ms. Hassinger, Mr.
Easthope “didn’t appear to be surprised.” At one point he said, “This guy’s gotta go.” But he
also asked her, in sum or substance, “How would you feel if I would say, we’ll get him out of
here, even if I don’t fire him?” Ms. Hassinger and Mr. Parnes understood Mr. Easthope to be
suggesting that Dr. Anderson would leave UHS and not be able to see patients anymore.

Mr. Easthope told us he did not recall either Ms. Hassinger or Mr. Parnes raising any
concerns about Dr. Anderson, and Mr. Easthope noted that he was not the counselors’ direct
supervisor. Neither counselor recalls saying anything about Dr. Anderson to their direct
supervisor in the Counseling Services Office or to Mr. Johnson. Both counselors recall hearing
sometime later that Dr. Anderson had left UHS and assuming it was as a result of action by Mr.
Easthope.

4. Dr. Anderson’s Resignation as UHS Director

Mr. Easthope repeatedly told us that he fired Dr. Anderson. 79 But he did not. As noted
above, it is possible that Dr. Anderson’s resignation as UHS Director was fueled by a
confrontation between him and Mr. Easthope, but the documentary evidence reflects that it was a
voluntary change. And when we asked specifically whether he removed Dr. Anderson from
UHS, the directorship of UHS, or the University as a whole, Mr. Easthope stated that he was not
sure.

79
In a 2018 interview with DPSS, Mr. Easthope’s wife suggested that Dr. Anderson may have been allowed to
resign from UHS. Mr. Easthope told us that his wife had no firsthand knowledge about Dr. Anderson and was
merely seeing if the suggestion refreshed his recollection.

39
A series of memoranda exchanged between the heads of the departments that funded Dr.
Anderson’s position as team physician at the time—Mr. Johnson and Mr. Canham, the Athletic
Director—show support for his continued employment at UHS. On November 14, 1979, Dr.
Anderson wrote a memorandum to Mr. Johnson indicating that he would resign as UHS Director
but wished to remain at UHS as a senior physician and team physician. 80 The next day Mr.
Johnson wrote a memorandum to Mr. Canham, asking him to agree to Dr. Anderson’s continued
role as team physician and noting that “[w]e, of course, are supportive of [Dr. Anderson]
remaining in this role[.]” On January 2, 1980, Mr. Canham wrote a memorandum to Mr.
Johnson, in which Mr. Canham stated that Dr. Anderson should continue as team physician and
remarked that the Athletic Department would be in a “bad position” if Dr. Anderson did not.

In a January 10, 1980, memorandum to UHS Department Heads, Mr. Johnson stated that
Dr. Anderson would resign as UHS Director as of January 14, 1980, 81 and would remain on the
UHS staff as a “senior physician 50% time and Director of Athletic Medicine.” 82 Mr. Johnson
called out Dr. Anderson’s “high quality administrative and medical leadership” and noted that
“[w]e are pleased that he plans to remain on the staff as a senior physician.” Consistent with his
memorandum, Mr. Johnson recalls that Dr. Anderson voluntarily stepped down as UHS Director
to spend more time at his private practice while continuing to support the Athletic Department.
Mr. Johnson does not recall learning of any complaints or other issues involving Dr. Anderson
leading up to his resignation as UHS Director—or at any other time.

Mr. Easthope himself signed the employment paperwork effectuating Dr. Anderson’s
change in title from Director to a senior physician at UHS. 83 Mr. Easthope’s signature alone was
sufficient; Mr. Johnson did not sign the form. 84 Mr. Easthope had no explanation for his sign-off

80
In 1999, Dr. Anderson told a reporter that Mr. Canham created, and Dr. Anderson accepted, a position as the
“formal team physician” around 1980. See Jim Cnockaert, U-M Football Physician Retiring After 32 Years, MICH.
LIVE (June 10, 1999) (hard copy at the Bentley Library) (stating that Dr. Anderson “informed then-U-M athletic
director Don Canham that he intended to leave the Student Health Service to return to private practice. Canham
then created a position for a formal team physician. Anderson said he accepted immediately.”).
81
On January 15, 1980, Mr. Johnson provided President Howard T. Shapiro with copies of correspondence between
Dr. Anderson and Mr. Canham regarding Dr. Anderson’s continued role as team physician. President Shapiro has
no recollection of Dr. Anderson.
82
“Director of Athletic Medicine” does not appear on Dr. Anderson’s employment paperwork, suggesting that it
may have been an informal title. It appears to have encompassed the same responsibilities that he had performed
since first being named an Athletic Department team physician in 1967.
83
We attempted to speak with each person who signed this paperwork. A UHS administrative manager does not
know why Dr. Anderson stepped down as UHS Director in January 1980; he does recall a brief, “cryptic”
conversation in late 1979 or 1980 with an administrative assistant (now deceased) in Student Services, who told him
that “something” might become apparent with Dr. Anderson in the future. The form was also signed by a former
administrative manager in Medical School Administration who is now deceased; a former administrative manager in
Internal Medicine who does not recall executing the form and confirmed that she would not have had any role in Dr.
Anderson’s employment at UHS; possibly an administrative manager in the Surgery Department who is also now
deceased; and another person with initials “SAC,” who we believe was a clerk in the Personnel Office at the time
and who does not recall handling any paperwork concerning Dr. Anderson or hearing about him while working at
the University.
On January 15, 1980, an employment representative in the University’s Personnel Office filled out a separate
84

worksheet for processing the change in Dr. Anderson’s position in the University’s human resources system. The
worksheet indicates that Dr. Anderson’s change of status from UHS Director to a senior physician was a

40
on the title change and acknowledged that he had no recollection of Mr. Johnson (or anyone else)
overriding his decision to terminate Dr. Anderson. 85

Upon Dr. Anderson’s resignation as UHS Director, the University paid tribute to him for
his service. The UHS Annual Report in the University President’s Report for the 1979-1980
academic year noted Dr. Anderson’s resignation as UHS Director and “thank[ed]” him for “11
years of leadership.” 86

We interviewed more than ten people who worked at UHS when Dr. Anderson stepped
down as UHS Director or shortly thereafter, including Dr. Anna Davol, who served as Interim
Director from January 1980 until January 1981; other former UHS physicians; UHS staff
members, including a nurse, nurse practitioner, patient relations coordinator, and two clinic
clerks; and Dr. Anderson’s two assistants in January 1980. None recalls Dr. Anderson being
forced to resign as Director. Several told us that Dr. Anderson left UHS with a positive
reputation to spend more time in his private practice or in athletic medicine, while others said
they did not know why Dr. Anderson stepped down. 87

5. Dr. Anderson’s Continued Practice at UHS

Dr. Anderson continued working at UHS as a senior physician from January 1980
through June 1981 while also working with the Athletic Department and at Michigan Medicine.
Although Mr. Easthope told us he did not recall seeing Dr. Anderson ever again at the University
after confronting him in Dr. Anderson’s office, it is clear that Mr. Easthope continued to interact
with Dr. Anderson. For example, contemporaneous documents show that Mr. Easthope was
involved in resolving a conflict between Dr. Anderson and Dr. Davol over his role as Director of
Athletic Medicine. Mr. Easthope met with Dr. Davol and Dr. Anderson on May 27, 1980, to
discuss the proportion of Dr. Anderson’s time allocable to UHS. And in June 1980, Dr.
Anderson complained in a letter to Mr. Johnson that Dr. Davol did not count his hours spent with
the Athletic Department toward his total hours at UHS. Dr. Anderson further wrote that the title
of “Director of Athletic Medicine” given to him by Mr. Johnson was “meaningless” and that “it
may be a more workable plan to have me resign from the Health Service and work out an
arrangement with the Athletic Department.” On August 5, 1980, Dr. Anderson wrote to Dr.
Davol, copying Mr. Johnson and Mr. Easthope, to memorialize the outcome of a meeting in
which the four agreed that UHS would maintain an athletic medicine program and Dr. Anderson
“would continue” as Director of Athletic Medicine. Mr. Easthope signed another form
documenting an increase in Dr. Anderson’s salary effective September 1, 1980.

“Demotion” and notes, “D[irector] resuming former position.” The employment representative told us that
“Demotion” may have merely reflected Dr. Anderson’s change to a less senior position at UHS and may not have
had a negative connotation.
85
Mr. Easthope told us that any implication in his deposition testimony that Mr. Johnson overrode Mr. Easthope’s
decision to fire Dr. Anderson was based on speculation.
86
The University Record also noted Dr. Anderson’s resignation as UHS Director and his return to the UHS staff as a
senior physician on January 14, 1980.
87
Mr. Johnson informed the University’s Student Relations Committee in March 1980 that Dr. Anderson stepped
down as UHS Director “to pursue private practice.”

41
6. Keith Moree Report

a. Experience with Dr. Anderson

On May 28, 1980, Keith Moree, a University student and volunteer in the Human
Sexuality Office, went to see Dr. Anderson about a suspected STI. At the beginning of the
appointment, Mr. Moree identified himself as gay. Dr. Anderson asked Mr. Moree to remove his
pants and pull down his underwear. After Mr. Moree did so, Dr. Anderson began talking about
circumcision. Dr. Anderson stated that parents of newborn boys sometimes asked for his opinion
about whether to have their babies circumcised and that he had shown these parents his own
penis, so they could see an uncircumcised penis. Dr. Anderson then stated that it was “really
great to have a foreskin” due to the sensation of the foreskin moving over the head of the penis
during masturbation. He told Mr. Moree that it was “too bad” that Mr. Moree was circumcised
but suggested that it likely still felt good for Mr. Moree to masturbate.

Mr. Moree believes that Dr. Anderson became aroused during this conversation. In
particular, Mr. Moree recalls that Dr. Anderson began “brushing” the front of his pants with his
hand, but Mr. Moree does not believe that Dr. Anderson was masturbating.

b. Mr. Moree’s Reporting Efforts

Mr. Moree told Mr. Toy about his experience with Dr. Anderson several months later;
Mr. Moree had met Mr. Toy at the Human Sexuality Office, and they developed a close
friendship. 88 Mr. Moree recalls that Mr. Toy said there had been a previous report of a similar
experience with Dr. Anderson and that the University had taken no action because it was a “he-
said, he-said” situation. 89 Mr. Toy stated that if Mr. Moree also wanted to complain, he should
send his complaint to the administrator who oversaw UHS, Mr. Easthope. Mr. Moree told us he
hand-delivered a written complaint to an administrative building on campus; 90 we did not find a
copy of the document.

Shortly after Mr. Moree delivered his complaint, Mr. Easthope contacted him to schedule
an in-person meeting. Mr. Moree believes the meeting (which Mr. Toy also attended) probably
took place in late 1980, prior to the University’s winter break. 91 As Mr. Moree recalls the
meeting, Mr. Easthope asked him to provide a detailed account of his appointment with Dr.

88
Mr. Toy’s internal notes and calendar indicate that he met with “Keith” on August 5, 1980. Mr. Toy noted that he
received negative feedback about Dr. Anderson from “Keith” and would need to “plan some sort of feedback to Dr.
A.”
89
Mr. Toy may have been alluding to his prior report to Mr. Easthope that Dr. Anderson was “fooling around with
boys” at UHS.
90
Mr. Moree told us that he has a “strong impression” that he delivered his written complaint and later met with Mr.
Easthope in the Fleming Administration Building, but he acknowledged that it could have been a different building.
Mr. Easthope’s office was located in the nearby Michigan Union Building.
91
Mr. Toy’s calendar indicates that he met with Mr. Easthope on December 10, 1980, and Dr. Anderson on
December 20, 1980.

42
Anderson. After Mr. Moree did so, Mr. Easthope said he would investigate the matter and get
back to Mr. Moree.

On January 5, 1981, Mr. Toy made a note in his internal files that he met with “Keith” on
that date regarding an “ongoing problem at Health Service (confidential).” Two days later, on
January 7, 1981, Mr. Moree met with Mr. Toy and Dr. Anderson in an office Mr. Moree believed
to be Mr. Easthope’s. At that meeting, Mr. Moree told us, Dr. Anderson did not deny Mr.
Moree’s allegations and apologized for causing him distress.

Two contemporaneous documents confirm that Mr. Moree, Mr. Toy, and Dr. Anderson
met on January 7: (1) Mr. Toy’s calendar for that day, which includes an appointment with
“Anderson, Moree” at 7 p.m., and (2) another document Mr. Moree located during our
investigation. The document, on University of Michigan letterhead and labeled “FOR INTRA-
UNIVERSITY CORRESPONDENCE,” is an agreement signed by Mr. Moree, Mr. Toy, and Dr.
Anderson. The document includes the following statement:

I have voluntarily agreed that a tape recording be made of our


conversation on January 7, 1981.

I understand that no part of the contents of the tape will be released


to any person other than the undersigned, without the written
consent of all the persons undersigned.

Mr. Moree does not recall anything about the agreement mentioned in the document. He does
not have a copy of the referenced recording or know if one was made. We were unable to locate
a copy.

Mr. Moree does not recall if Mr. Easthope was present during the conversation with Dr.
Anderson on January 7, 1981, but he does recall discussing Dr. Anderson with Mr. Easthope and
Mr. Toy after Dr. Anderson left the room. According to Mr. Moree, Mr. Easthope said that this
was a “sad situation” and that Dr. Anderson probably needed “professional help,” but that if Dr.
Anderson were fired, it would cause financial hardship for him and his family. Mr. Moree
recalls that Mr. Easthope proposed a plan by which Dr. Anderson would be moved to an
administrative position and kept away from students until his retirement. Mr. Easthope then left
the room, and Mr. Toy and Mr. Moree discussed the proposal. When Mr. Easthope returned, Mr.
Toy and Mr. Moree accepted the proposal.

When we interviewed Mr. Easthope, he strongly denied having any knowledge of Mr.
Moree or his complaint, ever meeting Mr. Moree, or entering into any agreement with him to
move Dr. Anderson to a different position. Mr. Easthope also did not recall Mr. Toy coming to
him a second time with allegations about Dr. Anderson or meeting with Mr. Toy and a student
about Dr. Anderson. 92

92
Mr. Toy has little recollection of these matters. He remembers that Mr. Moree may have been a volunteer in the
Human Sexuality Office, but does not recall Mr. Moree’s complaint about Dr. Anderson, assisting Mr. Moree in
lodging a complaint, or participating in any meetings with Mr. Easthope or others about Dr. Anderson. Mr. Johnson

43
After the meeting with Mr. Easthope and Mr. Moree, Mr. Toy continued his efforts to
address Dr. Anderson’s conduct. Mr. Toy’s notes from January 13, 1981 reflect “Anderson” as a
topic of discussion at a meeting he had with individuals who volunteered for the Gay Hotline.

Mr. Toy’s notes of another hotline meeting, on March 10, 1981, include “Anderson -
student surveillance?” under the heading “Pxs,” probably a reference to patients. The same notes
show that Ms. Hassinger, who consulted with the Human Sexuality Office, was present and
stated that there were “limits to what we have to put up with!” Ms. Hassinger recalls discussions
about individuals who contacted the hotline to complain about Dr. Anderson. At the time, she
did not realize that Dr. Anderson was still at UHS or the extent of his role with the Athletic
Department, but she recalls being upset with Mr. Easthope because Dr. Anderson was continuing
to see patients somewhere in the University. 93

On March 29, 1981, Mr. Toy met with an Advisory Committee to the Human Sexuality
Office regarding Dr. Anderson. 94 Draft minutes of the meeting contain this notation under the
heading “Health Servi[]ce- Dr. Anderson”: “On hold. Jim [Toy] is to meet with Tom Easthope
and Dr. Briefer, new Dir. of HS.” 95

c. Dr. Anderson’s Transfer to the Athletic Department in July 1981

In April 1981, Mr. Johnson wrote to Mr. Easthope, alluding to continuing disagreements
between Dr. Anderson and Dr. Davol regarding the athletic medicine program at UHS and
referencing “two immovable forces needing intervention.” Mr. Johnson requested a meeting to
discuss “Dr. Anderson’s relationship and Health Services’s relationship to the Athletic
Department and its medical needs.” We have no reason to think that Mr. Johnson’s
memorandum was prompted by concern on his part about Dr. Anderson’s conduct with patients.

Dr. Anderson transferred from UHS to a senior physician position in the Athletic
Department effective July 1, 1981. The UHS administrative manager who signed the
employment form for the transfer has no knowledge of why it occurred. 96 Neither Mr. Easthope

does not have any recollection of Mr. Moree. We found no evidence that Mr. Johnson was aware of Mr. Moree’s
complaint.
93
Ms. Hassinger also told us that Mr. Toy attempted to steer individuals seeking medical care to different providers.
94
During this time, Mr. Toy appears to have set up ad hoc committees, including at least some members who were
not affiliated with the University, to discuss issues faced by the gay community in Ann Arbor.
95
We tried to find and speak with every meeting participant identified in the draft minutes. At least one other
University employee, a professor, was listed but is now deceased. Another participant—a student who volunteered
in the Human Sexuality Office—believes that the notation in the minutes likely referred to Dr. Anderson’s conduct
with patients at UHS, but he has no independent recollection of the meeting.
96
The UHS administrative manager—the same individual who signed the paperwork that effectuated Dr.
Anderson’s change from UHS Director to a senior physician in January 1980—was also not familiar with
handwritten notes that appear in Dr. Anderson’s personnel file pertaining to the transfer. The notes indicate that the
UHS administrative manager was “working on athletics posting.” Neither Mr. Easthope nor Mr. Johnson could shed
any light on the handwritten notes.

44
nor Mr. Johnson signed the form; neither had any recollection of the transfer or why it
occurred. 97

We found no evidence linking the transfer to Mr. Moree’s complaint or to any agreement
between Mr. Easthope, on the one hand, and Mr. Moree and Mr. Toy, on the other. We also
found no evidence of any other employment action involving Dr. Anderson—no note in his
personnel file, no record of any discipline, no reduction in pay—at or around this time. Indeed,
we found no evidence to suggest that Dr. Anderson was barred from continuing to examine
patients. Shortly before Dr. Anderson moved to the Athletic Department, on June 24, 1981,
UHS held a recognition event for him. Dr. Anderson was presented with a plaque and a “jock-
doc” award, which he said would be “long cherished as prized possessions.”

d. Mr. Moree’s August 1981 Memorandum

Dr. Anderson stayed on Mr. Toy’s mind even after his transfer to the Athletic
Department. On July 14, 1981, Mr. Toy made a note:

re patients [sic] complaints about Dr. Anderson – refer to Steve


Mason 662-2240 (work) [Chair]person, Health [and] WellBeing
[sic] Committee, Washtenaw County Medical Society (takes info,
forms intervention team, tries to help physician deal with situation
and feelings) (physician is not told name of patient)[.]

Stephen C. Mason was a physician in Washtenaw County and was involved in the Michigan
State Medical Society’s Impaired Physician Program in 1981. 98 He is deceased.

We suspect that Mr. Toy wanted to make sure that there would be a written record of Dr.
Anderson’s misconduct. On August 28, 1981, Mr. Moree wrote a memorandum detailing his
experience with Dr. Anderson at his May 28, 1980 examination. In the memorandum Mr. Moree
stated that he would “consult with any concerned and appropriate parties” about the incident or
the “events occurring afterwards when I lodged a complaint with the Office of Student Services.”
The cover page notes Mr. Moree’s intention to send a copy of the memorandum to the “Human
Sexuality Office (‘Gay Male Advocate’),” “Anna L. Davol, MD Director, Clinical Services
Health Services,” “Sue Kaufman[n] Program Associate for Women’s Concerns[,] Affirmative
Action Office,” “the Lesbian/Gay Law Students Association,” and Mr. Easthope.

97
In addition to the UHS administrative manager, we reached out to every living person whose signature on the
employment form we could decipher. A member of the University’s Personnel Office who processed and signed the
paperwork did not know why Dr. Anderson transferred to the Athletic Department. An administrative assistant in
Internal Medicine declined to be interviewed.
98
In a February 1981 article, Dr. Mason wrote that the Michigan State Medical Society’s Impaired Physician
Program set up “health and well-being committees” through local medical society chapters to intervene with
physicians “who [were] faltering due to emotional or physical illness or substance abuse.” S.C. Mason, New MSMS
Impaired Physician Effort Drawing All MDs into Helping Network, 80 MICH. MED. 44, 44 (1981). A physician who
served in leadership positions in the Medical Society in the late 1970s and 1980s told us she did not recall anyone in
the Medical Society mentioning Dr. Anderson.

45
Mr. Moree recalls the August 1981 memorandum, a copy of which he found in his
personal papers, and thinks that Mr. Toy may have asked him to document his experience with
Dr. Anderson before Mr. Moree left Ann Arbor in the summer of 1981. Although we found an
identical copy of the memorandum in Mr. Toy’s papers in the Bentley Library, Mr. Moree does
not recall sending the memorandum or discussing it with anyone.

We spoke with each of the individuals named on the cover page of the memorandum.
Mr. Toy does not recall the document. Mr. Easthope maintained that he never saw it. Dr. Davol
does not recall receiving it or hearing about Mr. Moree. Ms. Kaufmann, who handled sexual
harassment complaints for the University’s Affirmative Action Office at the time, does not
remember receiving the document, hearing about Mr. Moree, or learning of any other complaint
about Dr. Anderson.

Mr. Moree left campus soon after writing the memorandum. Two months later, on
October 18, he sent a letter to Mr. Toy, which we found in Mr. Toy’s papers in the Bentley
Library. In the letter, Mr. Moree wrote, in relevant part:

Please use the information you have available about the


unpleasantness with Dr. Anderson and co. as best you see fit. I
trust you explicitly with it. I would particularly like for you to feel
free to use it or ignore it as you need, because you’re on the scene
and can judge things better than I, here in DC. Also, do you still
want some sort of account of my dealings with Tom Easthope and
his office? I believe that such an account would augment a file on
possible discrimination within the University, should anyone ever
press the case for a sexual orientation anti-discrimination clause. I
will supply this if you’re interested, but I may need some help with
dates and names.

We did not find a response from Mr. Toy or any further correspondence related to Mr. Moree’s
complaint about Dr. Anderson.

C. Other Missed Opportunities

There was an undercurrent of rumors, jokes, innuendo, and expressions of concern about
Dr. Anderson throughout his career at the University. University personnel failed to appreciate
the significance of what they heard. We found no evidence that anyone inquired into his conduct
or referred him for investigation.

1. Widespread Rumors Among Patients

Rumors began circulating about Dr. Anderson shortly after the start of his employment at
the University of Michigan. One patient who visited UHS in 1966 recalls that it was “fairly well
known” that patients who went to UHS with minor complaints like headaches or a cold “had to
be prepared to drop [their] trousers.” A former graduate student remembers hearing about Dr.
Anderson from other students in the late 1960s or early 1970s, including that Dr. Anderson
performed inappropriate medical examinations on male patients.

46
Several patients who contacted us recall that Dr. Anderson had a negative reputation
among gay students. One patient remembers that, as early as 1972, Dr. Anderson was viewed as
a “creep” by gay students because of rumors that he “always” performed rectal examinations on
student athletes as part of their annual physicals. Another patient who attended the University in
the early 1970s recalls “rumblings among the gay community” that there was a doctor—whom
he identified as Dr. Anderson—who “would take liberties” during examinations. Another UHS
patient from the early 1970s believes that gay men could see Dr. Anderson for medical treatment
and knew there could be a “cost” involving sexual favors, but that there was “no other doctor
where a gay man could go with a gay problem.”

Talk about Dr. Anderson’s conduct was widely shared among the University’s student
athletes. Many of the student athletes we interviewed remember that Dr. Anderson’s rectal
examinations were a “running joke” among members of the football team, including that Dr.
Anderson would “stick[] his finger up your anus” during PPEs. Student athletes we interviewed
recall that Dr. Anderson’s examinations were also the subject of extensive “locker room talk”
among members of the baseball and men’s swimming teams. One student athlete told us that it
was “common knowledge” on the swimming team that “if you went to see Dr. Anderson, you
were going to be naked.”

A student athlete who attended the University in the 1970s recalls discussions with other
athletes in his dormitory about Dr. Anderson’s propensity for performing hernia checks, even
when a patient sought treatment for a broken nose or a sprained ankle. He also recalls a
perception that Dr. Anderson “liked to look at genitals.” Another student athlete’s fraternity
brothers warned him before a mandatory PPE to be “careful with this guy.” Student athletes told
their teammates to “[h]ave fun having your balls felt by Doc A” or to “watch out for Dr. A with
the glove and the finger.” They were aware that Dr. Anderson performed rectal examinations
“with some regularity,” and some were “uneasy” about seeing Dr. Anderson for treatment.
Student athletes also used various nicknames for Dr. Anderson, including “Drop Your Drawers
Anderson,” “Dr. Balls Anderson,” “Nutsy Anderson,” “Gloves,” “Dr. Jelly Fingers,”
“Goldfingers,” and “Handy Andy.”

The cloud around Dr. Anderson persisted into his later career. Students recall hearing
rumors and jokes in the mid- to late 1990s from student athletes about Dr. Anderson, including
from upperclassmen who told them what to expect during Dr. Anderson’s examinations. A
former resident at Michigan Medicine recalls hearing rumors in the mid- to late 1990s from
former student athletes that Dr. Anderson conducted inappropriate sports physicals.

2. Awareness by Other University Employees

We interviewed approximately 200 current and former University employees. With the
exception of Mr. Easthope, Ms. Hassinger, and Mr. Parnes, very few told us they were aware of
any complaints or had any concerns about Dr. Anderson’s conduct with patients. 99 In fact, some
employees, especially those who worked closely with Dr. Anderson, held him in high regard
until they learned of the allegations against him in recent years. Despite this, we identified

99
As discussed above, it is clear from contemporaneous evidence that Mr. Toy was also aware of complaints about
Dr. Anderson.

47
certain instances in which University personnel appear to have received information, of varying
levels of directness and specificity, reflecting patients’ concerns about Dr. Anderson’s conduct.

For a number of reasons, including the dimming of memories with the passage of time,
the lack of documentation, and the fact that many witnesses are deceased, we could not
independently confirm the accounts that follow. However, taken as a whole, the accounts tend to
show that concerning information about Dr. Anderson was shared in real time with at least a
limited number of University personnel.

a. Instances of Potential Awareness at UHS

We identified eight instances when some level of patient concerns about Dr. Anderson
may have been shared with or appear to have been known to UHS personnel:

● A UHS patient told DPSS that he submitted a comment card to UHS in the late
1960s, in which he wrote that Dr. Anderson engaged in inappropriate behavior
during his examination. We were unable to locate any comment cards or to
determine whether any UHS personnel saw this one. The patient declined to be
interviewed after engaging counsel.
● A UHS patient who saw Dr. Anderson in or around 1971 told us that Dr.
Anderson exposed himself while discussing circumcision and asked the patient to
masturbate him. The patient later asked a UHS scheduler to assign him to a
different doctor. When the scheduler asked why, the patient said that Dr.
Anderson “behaved inappropriately last time,” to which the scheduler replied, “I
understand, I understand.”
● A UHS patient dated a UHS secretary in or around 1973, after the patient began
receiving medical care from Dr. Anderson. The secretary mentioned to the
patient that a “couple of complaints” (which she implied were of a sexual nature)
had come across her desk about Dr. Anderson. The patient no longer recalls the
secretary’s name, and our efforts to identify her were unsuccessful.
● A UHS patient told DPSS that, in or around 1978, he told a UHS clerk while
leaving the UHS building after a medical appointment that Dr. Anderson had
conducted an uncomfortable rectal examination that lasted longer than it should
have. The patient returned to UHS the next year and “caused a scene” in the
lobby when he learned that Dr. Anderson still worked there. The patient declined
to be interviewed after engaging counsel.
● A UHS patient who received a series of painful rectal examinations from Dr.
Anderson in the late 1970s recalls that, when he returned to UHS for an unrelated
issue some years later, he “complained” about his earlier experiences with Dr.
Anderson to the physician who treated him. The physician responded that the
patient did not “have to worry about” Dr. Anderson because he was “gone now.”
The patient could not recall the name of the physician with whom he spoke.

48
● A former University Hospital physician who volunteered in UHS’s Gay Men’s
Health Clinic 100 in the late 1970s and early 1980s heard from several patients that
Dr. Anderson performed unnecessary genital examinations when they sought
treatment for issues such as a sore throat or stomachache. The physician
encouraged the patients to file a complaint but did not report the information
himself.
● A former student who volunteered in the Human Sexuality Office recalls that,
sometime between 1978 and 1981, he heard that the Athletic Department team
physician who worked at UHS (who he believes may have been Dr. Anderson)
behaved inappropriately with a patient. The student reported the matter to his
own UHS physician, who is now deceased. The student left the University not
long afterward and does not know what, if anything, happened with the
information he reported.
● A female UHS patient who saw Dr. Anderson in the 1980s recalls that Dr.
Anderson made her feel uncomfortable by spending an extended amount of time
examining her vagina. A nurse or assistant was also present during the
examination. The patient informed a UHS receptionist that she wanted a different
doctor because of Dr. Anderson’s behavior and was reassigned to a female
physician.

In addition to the circumstances described above, we heard from other patients and
former University employees about rumors relating to Dr. Anderson’s conduct at UHS:

● A UHS employee from the 1970s recalls that nurses, secretaries, and receptionists
joked about Dr. Anderson and said that he “liked” to perform rectal examinations;
one nurse reportedly called Dr. Anderson a “pervert” and said he “liked the
jocks.” When we interviewed the nurse, she said she did not recall hearing any
rumors, jokes, or other comments about Dr. Anderson from her coworkers.
● A former UHS physician heard that a student athlete “punched [Dr. Anderson’s]
lights out” after Dr. Anderson “came on” to him. The physician received this
information long after he left UHS in the early 1980s and did not remember any
further details.
● A former UHS nurse practitioner heard a comment during a social night out with
her co-workers in the mid-1980s that Dr. Anderson did “something inappropriate
with men.” She did not tell us who made the statement and does not recall
hearing any other complaints about Dr. Anderson.

100
UHS maintained a clinic referred to as the “Gay Men’s Health Clinic” or the “Gay V.D. Clinic,” which was open
to the public during evening hours one night a week and provided STI testing for gay individuals. The clinic was
staffed with volunteers from University Hospital. We spoke with two other individuals who volunteered at this
clinic, including at the time it was established. They do not recall Dr. Anderson having any involvement in the
clinic or hearing any complaints about him. UHS also maintained an STI testing program, sponsored by the
Washtenaw County Health Department, through which residents of Washtenaw County, including those who were
not affiliated with the University, were able to see a provider at UHS. Dr. Anderson saw patients through this
program, as did other UHS providers.

49
● Long after Dr. Anderson’s retirement, a former UHS Director told a UHS
administrator—in a tone that made the administrator “kind of uncomfortable”—
that Dr. Anderson was an “odd guy,” a “strange guy,” and “want[ed] male
patients.” The former UHS Director never shared any specifics about Dr.
Anderson’s conduct.

To be sure, these accounts are replete with hearsay and, in some instances, hearsay within
hearsay. Any documentary evidence of them that may have once existed has long since been
destroyed or discarded. Nonetheless, the number, nature, and general tenor of the accounts,
taken together, support the conclusion that Dr. Anderson engaged in a pattern of sexual
misconduct when examining patients at UHS and that concerning information about Dr.
Anderson was discussed, whether directly or indirectly, with at least some UHS personnel. We
did not find evidence that this information led any person in a position to take action—by
making an inquiry, warning patients, or referring the matter for investigation—to do so.

b. Instances of Potential Awareness in the Athletic Department

We interviewed nearly fifty current and former Athletic Department employees. None
reported receiving any complaints from student athletes about Dr. Anderson. We also heard
from more than one hundred former student athletes. From our interviews and from reports
made to DPSS, we identified eight instances, in addition to Mr. DeLuca’s July 1975 letter, when
a student athlete recalled voicing concerns about Dr. Anderson’s conduct with Athletic
Department personnel:

● A member of the basketball team in the 1960s recalls that Dr. Anderson fondled
his penis and testicles during a PPE and that he mentioned Dr. Anderson’s
“strange examination” to an assistant basketball coach. The patient does not
recall the coach’s reaction or what he did in response. The coach is deceased.
● A student athlete recalls that he raised the subject of Dr. Anderson’s examinations
with the men’s gymnastics head coach in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The
student athlete told us the coach responded with a “wry” smile, “shrugged his
shoulders,” and changed the subject, from which the student athlete assumed that
the coach knew about Dr. Anderson’s misconduct. The coach is deceased.
● A member of the football team in the late 1970s and early 1980s recalls telling the
football team’s athletic trainer that Dr. Anderson was fondling his genitals during
examinations. According to the student athlete, the trainer “blew it off” and said,
“You’re young.” We interviewed the trainer, who told us he does not recall any
student athletes discussing their physical examinations with him. The same
student athlete recalls that he also asked Russell Miller, who was head athletic
trainer from 1979 to 1990, about Dr. Anderson’s conduct. Mr. Miller declined
our interview requests, but he told DPSS that he never heard any complaints about
or nicknames for Dr. Anderson.
● A member of the football team told us that Dr. Anderson gave him a rectal
examination and fondled his testicles during a PPE in 1976. The student athlete
told us he informed Coach Bo Schembechler that he did not want to receive any
future physicals from Dr. Anderson and that “things were going down there that

50
weren’t right.” According to the student athlete, Mr. Schembechler explained that
annual PPEs were required to play football at the University. The patient
continued to see Dr. Anderson and made no further reports about Dr. Anderson’s
misconduct. Mr. Schembechler is deceased. 101 The same student athlete told us
that his position coach used the threat of an examination with Dr. Anderson as a
motivational tool. We interviewed the coach, who denied the allegation.
● A member of the football team in the late 1970s told DPSS that he received a
genital examination from Dr. Anderson, who fondled his testicles, and a rectal
examination, during which the student athlete pushed Dr. Anderson’s hand away.
The student athlete told DPSS that he asked Mr. Schembechler “soon” after the
exam, “What’s up with the finger in the butt treatment by Dr. Anderson?”
According to the student athlete, Mr. Schembechler told him to “toughen up.”
The student athlete told DPSS that “you do not mess with Bo, and the matter was
dropped.” The student athlete, who is represented by counsel, declined our
interview request.
● Another student athlete told us Dr. Anderson conducted genital and rectal
examinations during a PPE in the fall of 1982. The student athlete told us that
during the examination Dr. Anderson “play[ed]” with the patient’s penis and
made comments about its size. Following the examination, the student athlete
told us he informed Mr. Schembechler that Dr. Anderson had “mess[ed]” with his
penis and that he did not “agree” with the type of physical examination that Dr.
Anderson performed. Mr. Schembechler reportedly told the student athlete that
he would look into it, but the student athlete never heard anything further about it.
The student athlete continued to see Dr. Anderson but did not raise the matter
again, fearing that doing so could jeopardize his scholarship.
● A student athlete told DPSS that, in the late 1980s, she requested that an assistant
athletic trainer not send her to Dr. Anderson after she received a breast
examination from Dr. Anderson, during which he felt her breasts with both hands
while “moaning” with his eyes closed. The trainer reportedly never asked why
she did not want to see Dr. Anderson and scheduled her with another physician.
We interviewed the trainer, who does not recall anyone telling him they did not
want to see Dr. Anderson or hearing any complaints or jokes about Dr. Anderson.
● A former student athlete told DPSS that members of the women’s track team
complained to an athletic director about Dr. Anderson’s approach to scoliosis
examinations in the early 1990s. We interviewed the athletic director, who does
not recall ever hearing about it. According to the information provided to DPSS,
two coaches were present during a subsequent meeting where this issue was
discussed. We separately interviewed both, and both said they have no
recollection of such a meeting. One coach told us that, had he learned of the
issue, he would have reported it to the athletic director.

101
Multiple University personnel who worked with Mr. Schembechler told us that had he been aware of Dr.
Anderson’s misconduct with patients, he would not have tolerated it.

51
In addition to the above, multiple civil lawsuits include allegations by named and
pseudonymous plaintiffs that their coaches or trainers knew of but disregarded their concerns
about Dr. Anderson’s conduct:

● A student athlete from the 1980s and 1990s alleges that head trainer Paul Schmidt
told the student athlete to “get used to that” when he complained about Dr.
Anderson’s examinations. 102 Mr. Schmidt told us he does not remember making
such a comment. He did know at the time that Dr. Anderson performed digital
rectal examinations, but Mr. Schmidt assumed they were appropriate and never
thought that Dr. Anderson abused any patient. Mr. Schmidt held Dr. Anderson in
high regard; accordingly, if a student athlete had questioned the appropriateness
of Dr. Anderson’s examinations, Mr. Schmidt would have given Dr. Anderson the
benefit of the doubt. 103
● A student athlete alleges that Mr. Schembechler sent him to Dr. Anderson for
migraines in the early 1980s. 104 On at least three occasions, the student athlete
alleges, Dr. Anderson gave the patient a digital rectal examination. The student
athlete allegedly told Mr. Schembechler, who instructed him to report the matter
to Athletic Director Don Canham. The patient alleges that he did so twice, in
1982 and 1983, but Mr. Canham took no action. The student athlete’s attorney
declined our request to interview his client.
● A former student athlete alleges that he told track coaches Jack Harvey and Ron
Warhurst in 1976 that Dr. Anderson was groping the student athlete’s genitals and
that he asked to see another physician. 105 The student athlete alleges that both
Mr. Harvey and Mr. Warhurst “laughed” and refused the request. 106 We
interviewed both coaches separately; both denied the allegations.
● A former student athlete alleges that he informed Mr. Miller in 1988 of Dr.
Anderson’s abuse during a required physical. 107 As noted above, Mr. Miller did

102
Complaint, Doe MC-27 v. University of Michigan, No. 2:20-cv-10785 (E.D. Mich. Mar. 26, 2020).
103
Mr. Schmidt is familiar with allegations that student athletes who saw Dr. Anderson for a cold “had to drop their
pants.” He believes that Dr. Anderson may have been checking their lymph nodes for signs of an infection. Mr.
Schmidt recalls that student athletes would say, in sum or substance, “I went in for an infection and he said drop my
pants,” and Mr. Schmidt would explain that Dr. Anderson was making sure there were no enlarged lymph nodes.
The medical experts we consulted all agree that it was not the standard of care at the time to check lymph nodes in
the groin area when examining a patient for a common cold.

In another lawsuit, a student allegedly told Mr. Warhurst about Dr. Anderson’s abuse, and Mr. Warhurst
reportedly responded to “deal with it fucker.” Complaint, Doe WL-1 v. University of Michigan, No. 2:20-cv-12038

52
not respond to our requests for an interview, but he told DPSS that he never heard
any complaints about Dr. Anderson.

While all the Athletic Department personnel we interviewed deny receiving reports or
complaints or otherwise knowing about any misconduct by Dr. Anderson, a number of current
and former Athletic Department employees, some of whom worked in the Athletic Department
for decades, do acknowledge hearing jokes, rumors, or other comments about Dr. Anderson. For
example:

● In around 1968, a former athletic trainer heard that Dr. Anderson gave rectal
examinations to student athletes as part of their physicals. The trainer’s
predecessor said that he had looked into the matter, and “everything [Dr.
Anderson] does is on the up and up in the physical exam.”
● A student athlete recalls that his position coach on the football team was present
during “jesting” and “joking” about Dr. Anderson’s physicals, including jokes
about Dr. Anderson’s “glove.” The student athlete does not know whether his
coaches thought Dr. Anderson’s conduct was inappropriate. The position coach
acknowledged to us that it would “not be uncommon” for student athletes to make
jokes about physicals, but he does not recall hearing any such jokes or any
concerns specifically about Dr. Anderson.
● An Athletic Department administrator heard a joke about whether Dr. Anderson
was going to “use one finger or two fingers.”
● As noted above, former wrestling coach Bill Johannesen heard jokes from
members of the wrestling team to this effect: “You go to see Dr. Anderson for a
sore elbow, and he tells you to take your pants down.”
● A former Athletic Department administrator heard a rumor that if students “had a
broken arm, you would get your sack checked” by Dr. Anderson. At the time the
administrator considered the rumor “lighthearted humor.” In hindsight, the
administrator thinks that student athletes may have been trying to be heard when
they made light of the situation.
● A former equipment manager told us that there was “always locker room talk”
about Dr. Anderson and that the “big joke was that Dr. Anderson had a big
finger.” He also heard what he called another “locker room joke,” that “[Dr.]
Anderson always made you drop your pants.”
● A former men’s track coach heard from his assistant coaches that student athletes
were “joking about having to go through a physical [with Dr. Anderson] and
exposing yourself,” with no further detail. He never heard anything directly from
any student athlete.
● A former women’s head volleyball coach believes some students may have
thought Dr. Anderson was “weird.” The former coach does not recall any student
ever making a specific complaint about him.
● An athletic trainer for the men’s soccer team recalls that student athletes made
jokes on more than one occasion about “dropping your drawers” when seeing Dr.

53
Anderson. The athletic trainer attributed this kind of talk to a “male-dominated
environment of jocularity” and did not see it as a red flag at the time.
● A former head wrestling coach does not recall any “specific” jokes about Dr.
Anderson, but he thinks that there was “probably locker room talk” or “banter,”
which he considered “just young guys making fun of what we had to do in the
next hour or so.” He heard “halfhearted jokes” but nothing “serious in nature.”
● A former student trainer heard jokes, which she described as “college kids being
dumb,” about Dr. Anderson making male student athletes “pull [their] pants
down.”
● A former student trainer heard locker room jokes about Dr. Anderson along the
lines of, “I’m going to get my elbow checked, and it’s like, ‘Yep, drop your
pants.’”

A number of the Athletic Department personnel we interviewed saw Dr. Anderson for
their own medical care, both when they were University students and/or after they were hired by
the Athletic Department. Nearly all of them told us that they did not experience any behavior
that they found unusual or unprofessional, including during hernia or rectal examinations for
some of them, which at the time they considered, or at least assumed, were appropriate. 108 We
think it is likely that such Athletic Department personnel may not have considered the jokes
about Dr. Anderson problematic because they thought their own experiences with him were
appropriate.

Starting in 1991, the Athletic Department conducted exit interviews of graduating student
athletes, and medical care was one of the subjects covered. Our efforts to find the questionnaires
used during these interviews were not successful, but we did find “The University of Michigan
Student-Athlete Exit Interview / Questionnaire Final Analysis” from the 1994-1995 academic
year, which compiled results of in-person interviews and written questionnaires for thirty-nine
senior student athletes. The analysis shows that student athletes were asked if they had been
subjected to physical, sexual, verbal, or mental abuse. None of the respondents reported sexual
misconduct by Dr. Anderson. 109

Based on our interviews with former student athletes, coaches, trainers, and other
Athletic Department personnel, we make the following observations: First, there is abundant
evidence that Dr. Anderson engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct over a period of decades
in connection with his examinations of student athletes. Second, very few student athletes
reported at the time that Dr. Anderson had engaged in sexual misconduct. Third, whether

108
One individual told us that when he was a student athlete at the University, he received genital and rectal
examinations from Dr. Anderson during a PPE, which he thought was thorough but appropriate at the time; he
nonetheless decided not to go back to Dr. Anderson for medical care. Another individual received a rectal
examination from Dr. Anderson as an employee of the University. At the time he assumed that he had not
effectively communicated his ailment to Dr. Anderson; he now believes the rectal examination may not have been
medically appropriate.
109
The analysis included negative evaluations of Dr. Anderson: “a little senile”; “never confident with his
conclusions”; “diagnosis was wrong and [Dr. Anderson] never did find out what was wrong with me”; and “self-
treatment rather than see Anderson.”

54
through jokes, rumors, or locker room banter, student athletes’ discomfort with Dr. Anderson,
specifically related to his conduct of sensitive examinations, was an open secret—or perhaps no
secret at all—including among at least some coaches and trainers. Fourth, the many current and
former Athletic Department personnel we interviewed expressed to a person their commitment to
the welfare of student athletes, their conviction that, had they known Dr. Anderson was engaging
in sexual misconduct, they would have taken action, and their certainty that their predecessors
who are no longer alive would have done the same. Fifth, the fact that no Athletic Department
personnel took any action, initiated any inquiry, or referred Dr. Anderson for investigation
appears to have resulted predominantly from the unquestioned deference of coaches and other
Athletic Department personnel to Dr. Anderson’s medical expertise and their assumption that he
was acting in accordance with the prevailing standard of care. Sixth, nevertheless, the fact that
no one took meaningful action is particularly disturbing in light of the nature, scope, and
duration of Dr. Anderson’s misconduct.

c. Instances of Potential Awareness at Michigan Medicine

We interviewed more than seventy current and former Michigan Medicine clinicians,
faculty members, medical assistants, office assistants, administrators, medical students, and
residents. The vast majority told us they had heard no complaints or concerns about Dr.
Anderson. Most of these individuals had generally neutral or positive recollections of Dr.
Anderson, to the extent they recalled him at all. 110

We heard only two accounts indicating that Dr. Anderson’s misconduct may have come
to the attention of Michigan Medicine personnel: First, a patient told us that, in the 1990s, he
told his therapist, a clinical social worker at University Hospital, that Dr. Anderson attempted to
manually stimulate his genitals during a medical appointment at Dr. Anderson’s private practice.
We interviewed the social worker, who does not recall ever hearing any complaints about Dr.
Anderson. Second, a faculty member at Michigan Medicine heard from a former patient of Dr.
Anderson’s that, during a medical appointment, Dr. Anderson asked whether the patient wanted
help collecting a sperm sample and reached for his groin. The faculty member heard of this
incident in a non-University setting, perhaps in the early 2000s or after Dr. Anderson died.

3. Dr. Anderson’s Disclosure of an Assault Lawsuit in 1996

After the acquisition of his medical practice by the University in 1995, and at least every
two years thereafter, Dr. Anderson was approved for Michigan Medicine credentials, which were
required for him to maintain his practice within the Michigan Medicine system. 111 In his 1996
110
Moreover, administrators in the Internal Medicine Department who conducted Dr. Anderson’s performance
evaluations after his practice was acquired by the University in 1995 do not recall any issues or concerns about Dr.
Anderson’s performance.
111
The credentialing process required approval from administrators in the Department of Internal Medicine, as well
as the Credentials Committee, the Executive Committee on Clinical Affairs, and, at least since 1998, the Hospital
Executive Board or Health System Board. The Office of Clinical Affairs conducted due diligence on physicians
applying for credentials. A credentialing specialist told us that, in the mid-1990s when Dr. Anderson first applied
for credentials, her role involved no verification or vetting of a physician’s application, though she might raise
questions if something out of the ordinary was present on the face of the application. By contrast, Michigan
Medicine policy today requires a credentialing specialist to verify a variety of information, including whether a
physician has malpractice insurance coverage and whether the State of Michigan has imposed any discipline on the

55
credentialing application, Dr. Anderson disclosed a lawsuit against him that had been dismissed.
We did not find any evidence that the University looked into the matter. Had it done so, it would
have seen allegations that Dr. Anderson performed inappropriate breast, pelvic, and rectal
examinations on a female patient.

The application for credentials that Dr. Anderson submitted on September 10, 1996
required him to disclose whether he “ha[d] been subject to any litigation within the past two
years.” 112 Dr. Anderson wrote in response, “Case Dismissed – Document attached.” Attached to
the application was a letter dated June 26, 1996 from Dr. Anderson’s attorney. The letter stated,
“Dear Dr. Anderson: I am pleased to inform you that Judge Conlin granted our Motion for
Summary Disposition, with prejudice. This means that [the] plaintiff can never bring this action
against you at any time in the future.” The letter enclosed an Order of Dismissal based on the
plaintiff’s failure to appear.

Neither the letter nor the Order of Dismissal included any information about the
allegations in the case. They did, however, reference the case name and number. The court
records, which are public, show that a female plaintiff sued Dr. Anderson in August 1995 in
Washtenaw County Circuit Court for assault and battery and tortious infliction of emotional
distress. The complaint alleged that Dr. Anderson “touched and manipulated” her breasts,
“performed a rectal examination,” and “performed a pelvic examination” for “no appropriate or
proper purpose” at a pre-employment physical conducted in September 1993. In his answer to
the complaint, Dr. Anderson denied conducting a breast, pelvic, or rectal examination. The case
was dismissed in June 1996 because the plaintiff failed to file an appearance, as ordered by the
court, after her attorney withdrew. 113

We found no evidence that the University asked Dr. Anderson about this lawsuit or
otherwise investigated the allegations. Although we found Dr. Anderson’s September 1996
application in his credentialing file, we saw no evidence that the 1996 application was ever
reviewed or approved. 114

We also found no evidence that Michigan Medicine investigated or considered the


lawsuit during any of its five subsequent approvals of Dr. Anderson’s credentials. 115 When Dr.

physician. The process for renewal of credentials is generally the same as for initial credentials, except that the
credentialing specialist does not re-review issues that should have been considered previously.
112
This was Dr. Anderson’s second application for credentials. Dr. Anderson’s first credentialing application was
submitted in December 1994 and approved in March 1995.
113
DPSS interviewed the plaintiff in April 2019. According to its report, she stated that Dr. Anderson performed the
pelvic examination “using just his hands,” which she felt was odd, “as physicians generally used instruments when
conducting these examinations.” The DPSS interview notes do not reference a rectal examination. WilmerHale
attempted to interview the plaintiff, but could not establish contact with her. We did contact attorneys for the
plaintiff and Dr. Anderson; neither recalls the circumstances around or details of the case.
114
We were unable to identify anyone assigned to handle Dr. Anderson’s 1996 application for credentials.
115
Dr. Anderson applied for credentials in May 1997, February 1998, December 1998, December 2000, and October
2002. These applications disclosed no litigation, discipline, or other issues. WilmerHale spoke with credentialing
specialists or administrators involved in each of these credentialing processes. None recalled any red flags related to
Dr. Anderson; several did not recall being involved in Dr. Anderson’s credentialing process at all.

56
Anderson re-applied for credentials in May 1997, he answered “No” to whether he had “been
subject to any litigation within the past two years,” an answer that is inconsistent with his 1996
application. For the May 1997 application, the Office of Clinical Affairs initiated a search of the
National Practitioner Data Bank (“NPDB”), an online database containing information about
medical malpractice claims and certain adverse actions taken by state and federal licensing
authorities, among others. The NPDB identified no medical malpractice or adverse action
reports related to Dr. Anderson as of June 16, 1997. Dr. Anderson’s 1997 application was
approved, as were all of his subsequent applications.

V. The University’s 2018-2020 Investigation into Misconduct by Dr. Anderson

We reviewed the University’s response to the complaints it received about Dr. Anderson
from Mr. DeLuca and Individual A in 2018 and 2019, respectively. University officials properly
and timely forwarded the allegations to OIE as required by University policy, and OIE properly
referred them to DPSS, which instructed OIE to stand down until DPSS completed its
investigation. However, once the law enforcement hold was lifted in May 2019, OIE made no
meaningful progress in its review before January 2020, when the University decided to retain
outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation. In the meantime, OIE prioritized
allegations of sexual misconduct that potentially posed an active safety risk. That was a
reasonable decision; but, given the seriousness of the allegations involving Dr. Anderson OIE
should have addressed them more expeditiously.

A. OIE Received the 2018 and 2019 Complaints About Dr. Anderson in a
Timely Manner

1. Mr. DeLuca’s 2018 Letter

On July 18, 2018, Mr. DeLuca sent a letter to Athletic Director Warde Manuel detailing
allegations of sexual misconduct by Dr. Anderson in the 1970s. As discussed above in Section
IV.A., Mr. DeLuca had complained about Dr. Anderson to his wrestling coach, Bill Johannesen,
more than forty years earlier, in 1975. In his letter to Mr. Manuel, Mr. DeLuca reported that he
had, on multiple occasions, received genital, hernia, and prostate examinations from Dr.
Anderson after seeking treatment for cold sores and a dislocated elbow. Mr. Manuel told us that
Mr. DeLuca’s letter immediately “stood out” because of the nature of his allegations.

Mr. Manuel was initially unsure how to proceed, given that the alleged misconduct
occurred decades earlier and Dr. Anderson was deceased. On July 26, 2018, he turned to
Deborah Kowich, the OGC attorney with primary responsibility for providing legal advice to the
Athletic Department, for guidance. 116 Ms. Kowich forwarded the letter to Pamela Heatlie, who
was then the Director of OIE, later that same day.

Mr. Manuel’s decision to seek guidance from Ms. Kowich was reasonable. There is no
evidence that Mr. Manuel, Ms. Kowich, or anyone else ever sought to ignore or conceal Mr.
DeLuca’s allegations. Although University policy provides that sexual misconduct allegations

116
Mr. Manuel’s office received Mr. DeLuca’s letter while Mr. Manuel was out of the office. Mr. Manuel reviewed
Mr. DeLuca’s letter and discussed it with Ms. Kowich soon after his return.

57
should be reported directly to OIE, it was not inappropriate for Mr. Manuel to consult OGC in
the first instance. Indeed, University employees are advised to contact OGC if they are uncertain
about how to proceed, particularly in situations that are not specifically covered in training or
that are atypical in some way. Mr. Manuel’s decision to seek guidance from OGC did not
impede, interfere with, or delay OIE’s handling of Mr. DeLuca’s letter or the response to it.

2. August 2019 Complaint

Two University administrators promptly made OIE aware of an email they received in
August 2019 from another former University student, Individual A, alleging that Dr. Anderson
subjected him to sexual abuse in the early 1970s. On August 18, 2019, Individual A sent an
email to the administrative assistants for Dr. Robert Ernst, Executive Director of UHS, and Dr.
Elizabeth Cole, then the Interim Dean of the University’s College of Literature, Science, and the
Arts. The email described in detail alleged sexual misconduct that Individual A experienced
during an examination by Dr. Anderson at UHS. Individual A reported that Dr. Anderson had
asked him to manually stimulate Dr. Anderson’s penis to the point of ejaculation to receive
treatment for suspected exposure to an STI.

Dr. Ernst sent Individual A’s email to OIE and OGC on August 21, 2019, the same day
his assistant forwarded the email to him. After receiving Individual A’s email from her assistant,
Dr. Cole reached out to Individual A directly on August 22 to thank him for sharing his
experience and assure him that she would forward his letter to OIE and the University’s law
enforcement team. On August 26, Dr. Cole forwarded Individual A’s email to Jeffery Frumkin,
who was then Interim Director of OIE, 117 and to DPSS.

B. OIE’s Review of the 2018 and 2019 Complaints About Dr. Anderson Was
Unreasonably Delayed

1. OIE’s Initial Review

Less than two weeks after receiving Mr. DeLuca’s letter on July 26, 2018, Ms. Heatlie
contacted him to ask whether he would be willing to meet for an interview and to provide him
with information about counseling resources, including those provided by the University’s
Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center. Mr. DeLuca agreed to be interviewed and met
with Ms. Heatlie on August 27, 2018. During that meeting, he told Ms. Heatlie that Dr.
Anderson had, on a number of occasions, subjected him to genital and rectal examinations during
medical visits for unrelated conditions. After the meeting, Mr. DeLuca found among his
personal papers decades-old correspondence with his wrestling coach Mr. Johannesen, including
a copy of the letter he sent to Mr. Johannesen in July 1975 referring to “Dr. ‘drop your drawers’
Anderson.” Mr. DeLuca mailed a copy of the letter to Ms. Heatlie.

Over the next month, OIE resource constraints kept Ms. Heatlie from taking further steps
to review Mr. DeLuca’s allegations, and she focused on cases that posed an active risk to the

117
In October 2018, Ms. Heatlie transferred to the Dearborn campus as its Director of OIE. See infra Section V.B.

58
University community. Ms. Heatlie was clear about that with Mr. DeLuca, emailing him on
September 6, 2018 that OIE’s review could be delayed due to the office’s workload.

Ms. Heatlie next took action on Mr. DeLuca’s complaint on October 1, 2018, when she
referred the matter to DPSS. This referral was consistent with OIE’s practice to notify DPSS of
potential criminal conduct. 118 Two days later, on October 3, DPSS notified Ms. Heatlie that
DPSS was instituting a “law enforcement hold.” Such a hold, though not defined in any
University policy, has the practical effect of pressing pause on an OIE investigation while DPSS
conducts a criminal investigation. DPSS law enforcement holds vary in scope: some direct OIE
not to speak with certain witnesses until DPSS is able to interview them; others bar OIE from
taking any investigative actions. In this case, DPSS specifically instructed OIE to “stop” any
investigation until DPSS’s investigation was complete. Then—as now—there was no written
policy as to how DPSS was to notify OIE when the law enforcement hold had been lifted.

Also on October 3, Ms. Heatlie received information from which she inferred that there
may have been other complaints about Dr. Anderson’s misconduct. The information was vague
and came from someone without firsthand knowledge. Ms. Heatlie called DPSS the same day to
provide this additional information but did not do anything further because of the law
enforcement hold.

2. Law Enforcement Review

The DPSS investigation was assigned to Mark West, who joined the Criminal
Investigation Unit at DPSS as a detective in 2015. Detective West began his investigation
promptly and within two weeks had interviewed Mr. DeLuca, two University employees, and a
LARA employee.

Detective West conducted an extensive investigation over the next seven months. He
made contact with a half-dozen former University students and non-affiliated community
members who said they had experienced serious misconduct at the hands of Dr. Anderson, as
well as nearly fifty current and former University employees he thought might have relevant
information. He reviewed Dr. Anderson’s personnel file, executed a search warrant to obtain
access to certain medical malpractice files, and reviewed court records related to Dr.
Anderson. 119 Detective West completed his investigation in April 2019.

At the end of an investigation, if DPSS believes that all elements of a crime have been
met or wants a second opinion as to whether a crime has been committed, it submits the case to
the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office. Case files are typically submitted to the
Prosecutor’s Office through an online portal. In this case, Konrad Siller, who was then the First
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, believed that the matter was unlikely to result in criminal
charges given the passage of time and the fact that Dr. Anderson was deceased. As a result, Mr.

118
Ms. Heatlie did not report the allegations to DPSS earlier because she had mistakenly assumed that DPSS would
not investigate allegations involving a deceased person.
119
Two other DPSS detectives assisted Detective West with his investigation for short periods.

59
Siller instructed Detective West to send his report by email rather than through the online portal.
Detective West did so on April 29, 2019.

After submitting the DPSS report to the Prosecutor’s Office, Detective West periodically
inquired about the status of the case. When Detective West checked in on June 11, 2019, Mr.
Siller said the review had not been completed because he had “[t]oo many murder cases going
on.” When OIE sent Individual A’s report to DPSS in August 2019, Detective West investigated
the allegations and sent the Prosecutor’s Office additional information that same month.

It is not clear when the Prosecutor’s Office completed its review. Officials in the
Prosecutor’s Office told us that they communicated to DPSS in the fall of 2019 that their review
was complete, and nothing had changed Mr. Siller’s earlier informal assessment that no criminal
charges would be filed. DPSS officials told us they did not receive such notice. On January 21,
2020, DPSS told Ms. Seney that the Prosecutor’s Office still had not completed its review. On
February 18, 2020, Steven Hiller, who was then the Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in the
Prosecutor’s Office, provided written notice to University of Michigan Chief of Police Robert
Neumann that the Prosecutor’s Office had decided not to file any criminal charges in connection
with the allegations against Dr. Anderson. 120

3. OIE’s Continued Review

DPSS did not inform OIE when it had completed its investigation of Mr. DeLuca’s
complaint. On May 20, 2019, Ms. Heatlie emailed DPSS to ask whether the criminal
investigation was still in progress. Chief Neumann notified Ms. Heatlie the following day that
OIE could proceed with its investigation.

Ms. Heatlie, who had transferred from the Ann Arbor campus to the Dearborn campus,
informed the new Title IX Coordinator in Ann Arbor, Elizabeth Seney, that the case was no
longer under a law enforcement hold. Ms. Heatlie informed OGC on June 6, 2019, that Ms.
Seney would be taking over the investigation. Ms. Seney requested a copy of Detective West’s
report on July 2, 2019, and received it on July 17, 2019. Ms. Seney completed her initial review
of the DPSS report over the next two months. In the interim, she received Individual A’s email;
she contacted him in September 2019. 121 OIE’s investigation then largely sat dormant for the
next three months.

In December 2019 Ms. Seney asked a recently hired OIE investigator to review the DPSS
report. After doing so, the investigator suggested that the University consider taking certain
steps, including hiring an outside investigator, based in part on how other universities had
handled similar allegations of sexual misconduct. The OIE investigator considered it important

120
In February 2020, a University official publicly stated that the University had been awaiting a charging decision
from the Prosecutor’s Office before undertaking any broad outreach to Dr. Anderson’s patients. We received
conflicting information from individuals at OIE and DPSS about what steps, if any, OIE or the University could
have taken after the law enforcement hold was lifted but while the Prosecutor’s Office was reviewing the case.
Regardless, any delay caused by uncertainty about the status of the Prosecutor’s Office’s review was relatively brief.
The University first considered retaining outside counsel or engaging in broader outreach in December 2019. The
University retained Steptoe on January 23, 2020 and publicly announced its investigation on February 19, 2020.
121
Ms. Seney does not believe she spoke with Individual A following this outreach.

60
to begin moving quickly, given the time that had passed since the University’s receipt of Mr.
DeLuca’s letter. On January 8, 2020, the investigator and Ms. Seney met with OGC. On
January 23, 2020, the University hired Steptoe to conduct an independent investigation into the
allegations against Dr. Anderson. All told, eighteen months elapsed, including eight months
since OIE was given the green light to proceed with its investigation, since Mr. Manuel received
Mr. DeLuca’s letter—an unreasonable delay given the gravity of the allegations.

VI. Additional Considerations

We endeavored to understand what Dr. Anderson did, who at the University knew about
it, and when they knew. We have also considered why no University personnel took any
meaningful action despite the cloud of rumors, jokes, and innuendo that followed Dr. Anderson
throughout his University career. With respect to the former constellation of questions, we heard
repeatedly that Dr. Anderson engaged in misconduct with patients who may have been, for
varying reasons, susceptible targets unlikely to report their experiences. With respect to the
latter question, we believe deference to doctors in general, and Dr. Anderson in particular, and
insensitivity to direct and indirect expressions of concern about him coincided with a lack of
adequate policies and procedures for identifying, reporting, and addressing sexual misconduct.

A. Dr. Anderson Engaged in Misconduct with Patients Who Were Unlikely to


Report Their Experiences

As we have described, a number of University students raised concerns at the time,


directly or indirectly, about Dr. Anderson. But those who did so represent only a small fraction
of the hundreds of patients who have come forward now, who may themselves represent only a
fraction of the patients with whom Dr. Anderson engaged in sexual misconduct.

The vast majority of patients with whom we spoke had not previously reported what
happened to them outside a close circle of family and friends, if to anyone at all. We believe that
at least some patients who might otherwise never have reported their experiences were
encouraged to come forward by the parameters we put in place at the outset of our
investigation—that we would not share patient names or identifying information with the
University or disclose patient names or identifying information in this Report without the
patient’s express permission—along with the understanding that other patients who had not
previously reported their own experiences were now doing so. Indeed, multiple patients told us
they came forward to speak with us because they believed that sharing their own experiences
would lend collective credibility and corroboration to what other patients had said about their
experiences with Dr. Anderson.

The social science experts we consulted advise that those subjected to sexual assault and
other sexual misconduct often do not report their experiences until much later, if ever. 122 And, in
consultation with the social science experts, we have identified several factors that likely

122
Some studies report that ninety percent of adult victims—particularly on college campuses—never report the
sexual violence they experience. See, e.g., A. H. Conley et al., Prevalence and Predictors of Sexual Assault Among
a College Sample, 65 J. AMERICAN COLLEGE HEALTH 41, 41 (2017).

61
discouraged many of Dr. Anderson’s patients in particular from reporting his sexual misconduct
at the time.

First, there is an inherent imbalance of power and knowledge between physicians and
their patients, particularly patients with relatively little experience with doctors. The doctor-
patient relationship is built on trust in the doctor’s medical expertise, which the patient typically
lacks, and the assumption that the physician’s actions have a sound medical basis and are
performed in the best interest of the patient. Here, that dynamic resulted in many of Dr.
Anderson’s patients not knowing with certainty whether his conduct was inappropriate when
they experienced it. Many of Dr. Anderson’s patients told us, for example, that they thought Dr.
Anderson’s prolonged genital and painful rectal examinations were standard parts of a physical
examination, that Dr. Anderson was just unusually thorough, or that, if Dr. Anderson opted to
perform a hernia check or rectal examination during a visit for a cold or the flu, he must have had
a valid reason. Other patients told us that they had been brought up to respect authority figures
such as doctors and did not think to question or challenge a much older, seemingly widely
respected, senior physician. Student athletes told us that they assumed Dr. Anderson’s
examinations, which were different in notable ways from their high school physicals, must be
part of “big time” athletics. For many of these patients, their examination by Dr. Anderson was
their first experience with adult medicine; up to that point, many had only seen their childhood
pediatricians or received limited medical care.

Second, many of the student athletes Dr. Anderson examined were on scholarship, and
some of them told us they feared that complaining about Dr. Anderson’s examinations would put
their financial aid, and hence their ability to remain at the University, at risk. Numerous student
athletes also told us they worried that complaining about Dr. Anderson’s examinations would be
perceived as “rocking the boat” or “making waves” and could cause them to lose playing time. It
should be noted, however, that no one told us that any scholarship was ever actually threatened,
or playing time reduced, for these reasons.

Third, Dr. Anderson treated other groups of especially vulnerable patients, including
LGBTQ students. Patients told us that—especially in the 1960s to 1980s—finding physicians in
Ann Arbor for medical issues prevalent in the LGBTQ community was difficult, and that
tolerating Dr. Anderson’s examinations was what they understood to be required to get
treatment. Some patients told us that they did not report Dr. Anderson’s misconduct because
they feared doing so would require them to disclose their sexual orientation when they were not
prepared to do so. Dr. Anderson’s conduct caused others to question their own sexuality, which
discouraged reporting. Dr. Anderson also saw, and engaged in misconduct with, patients seeking
treatment for conditions they found sensitive or embarrassing, such as STIs and fertility issues,
and patients seeking medical diagnoses that would enable them to avoid being drafted.

It also bears noting that Dr. Anderson appears to have refrained from engaging in sexual
misconduct with patients who were more likely to recognize and report it. For example, we
interviewed several coaches in the Athletic Department who saw Dr. Anderson for periodic
physicals and routine care, and some who also sent their family members to Dr. Anderson for
care. The vast majority of these individuals told us that they experienced nothing untoward
during their interactions with Dr. Anderson.

62
B. The University’s Sexual Harassment Policies and Procedures Were
Inadequate

As we have discussed, other than the efforts of Mr. Toy, Ms. Hassinger, and Mr. Parnes,
we found no evidence of any University employees raising complaints about Dr. Anderson,
despite a persistent swirl of rumors, jokes, and innuendo that followed him. Although rumors,
jokes, and innuendo were certainly not formal reports, it is striking that they do not appear to
have prompted anyone to take any meaningful action. Some of the inaction may have stemmed
from the same deference to doctors discussed above or a lack of understanding that a patient was
attempting to raise a concern.

There is no way to know whether better policies and procedures might have made a
difference. Nonetheless, it must be noted that the University’s sexual misconduct infrastructure
during Dr. Anderson’s career was lacking in significant respects.

First, there were no formal sexual harassment policies in place for the first fourteen years
of Dr. Anderson’s career at the University. And while sexual harassment may have been widely
understood to be inappropriate even in the absence of policies that specifically prohibited it,
there was no requirement for employees to report it prior to September 1980.

Second, even after the University instituted its sexual harassment policies, they did not
adequately ensure that misconduct was reported and addressed. In September 1980, the
University issued Standard Practice Guide (“SPG”) 201.89, which barred employees from
sexually harassing other employees, and an accompanying directive that prohibited the sexual
harassment of students (“Policy Statement”). 123 The Policy Statement directed students to make
sexual harassment complaints to the Affirmative Action Coordinator in the student’s specific
school of study or the Ombudsperson in the Office of the Vice President for Student Services.
But the Policy Statement still did not require University employees to report allegations of sexual
harassment of students.

Third, a lack of clear reporting channels for students or clear reporting obligations for
employees (both before and after the University’s sexual harassment policies were in place) may
have contributed to the persistence of Dr. Anderson’s conduct. There is no doubt that Dr.
Anderson’s misconduct violated the SPG and Policy Statement instituted in 1980. 124 Multiple
patients told us, however, that they did not know where to complain. Even when University

123
SPG 201.89, when adopted on September 1, 1980, applied only to conduct by University personnel against
University personnel. The Policy Statement, issued on September 15, 1980 by President Shapiro, covered sexual
harassment against students. In 1991, SPG 201.89 was revised to apply to conduct by University personnel against
both employees and students.
124
These policies, and subsequent iterations of them, prohibited University personnel from making unwelcome
sexual advances toward other University employees or students, making sexual propositions, and engaging in other
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature where: submission to such conduct was either explicitly or implicitly a
term or condition of an individual’s employment or education; submission to or rejection of such conduct was the
basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual; or such conduct had the purpose or effect of
substantially interfering with an individual’s academic or professional performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile or offensive employment, educational, or living environment. The definition of sexual harassment varied
somewhat over time but generally covered these categories of conduct.

63
personnel did receive complaints, they were not required to report them to any central office for
much of Dr. Anderson’s career. Thus when Mr. Easthope received complaints about Dr.
Anderson’s misconduct with students, the Policy Statement did not require him to involve other
University offices or conduct a formal investigation. To be clear, we do not attribute Dr.
Anderson’s decades of sexual misconduct, or the fact that no one effectively addressed it, to a
lack of adequate policies and procedures. But we do believe, as discussed below, that clear
policies and procedures, and a culture of awareness and reporting, are key to making sure
something similar never happens again.

VII. Recommendations

We have carefully considered measures that could prevent misconduct of the kind found
in our investigation from going undetected or unaddressed in the future. To that end, we
reviewed relevant policies, procedures, and practices at the University; interviewed University
personnel responsible for them; reviewed policies, procedures, and practices at peer institutions;
and consulted with the medical and social science experts identified above. The resulting
recommendations discussed below are aimed at ensuring that sexual misconduct concerns and
complaints are identified, reported, and acted on appropriately.

Our factual findings relate to events that occurred decades ago. Legal requirements,
standards of care, and best practices in both the academic and medical settings have changed
markedly since then. The University’s approach to identifying and addressing sexual
misconduct has changed markedly as well.

The University has taken significant steps in recent years to improve its sexual
misconduct policies and procedures, including with respect to faculty and staff misconduct. In
2018, the University engaged the law firm Hogan Marren Babbo & Rose, Ltd. (“HMBR”) to
conduct an independent assessment of its reporting mechanisms and written policies and
procedures relating to sexual misconduct. HMBR published its report and recommendations in
April 2019. 125 HMBR’s recommendations led to the issuance of the University’s August 7, 2020
Interim Policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct (“Interim Policy”), an umbrella policy
that addresses sexual and gender-based misconduct by and against students, faculty, staff, and
third parties. 126 The Interim Policy remains in effect today.

On July 31, 2020, WilmerHale issued a report of its independent investigation of


allegations of sexual misconduct by former Provost Martin A. Philbert (the “Philbert Report”). 127

May 2020. See Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal
Financial Assistance, 85 Fed. Reg. 30,026 (May 19, 2020) (codified at 34 C.F.R. pt. 106).

64
The University thereafter engaged the consulting firm Guidepost Solutions to assist with
implementation of the recommendations in the Philbert Report. That work is ongoing. 128

We believe that the changes the University has already made represent significant
improvements in its sexual misconduct policies and procedures. Some of our recommendations
are consistent with measures the University is in the process of implementing; other
recommendations are intended to enhance measures that have been or are being put in place.

First, the University should develop a more robust culture of recognition and reporting of
potential sexual misconduct, first and foremost by enhancing its training programs.

Second, the University should consider providing additional resources and training
regarding chaperone policies and sensitive examinations.

Third, the University should take concrete steps to assess individual departments’
responses to sexual misconduct issues.

Fourth, the University should enhance its due diligence procedures for physician self-
disclosures to ensure that information of potential concern is adequately investigated.

Fifth, the University should enhance coordination and communication among and
between OIE, DPSS, and the Prosecutor’s Office.

Sixth, the University should ensure that OIE has sufficient resources to carry out its
responsibilities, especially with respect to the investigation and resolution of sexual misconduct
reports.

A. Promote a Culture of Awareness and Reporting

For the University to take appropriate measures to address sexual misconduct, it must
first be aware of that misconduct. As discussed above, we found that from the beginning of Dr.
Anderson’s employment at the University, there was a persistent swirl of rumors and jokes about
his conduct during both general examinations and PPEs, including his propensity for performing
sensitive examinations regardless of the reason for a patient’s visit. Yet multiple University
personnel told us that they did not recognize the rumors and jokes that they heard as indicative of
potential sexual misconduct; accordingly, they took no action. Moreover, throughout much of
Dr. Anderson’s employment, the reporting of sexual misconduct was not centralized in a
particular University office.

128
Among the changes already implemented are measures to ensure that findings of policy violations and other
misconduct are documented and accessible for review in faculty hiring and promotion decisions. Records of OIE
findings, as well as any sanctions, are now kept in OIE’s files, the department human resources file, and the central
human resources file. OIE also began developing a new database of case files with improved search functionality in
late 2018 and put the database into use in February 2020. This allows OIE to monitor more easily for repeat
complaints against an individual. Additionally, the Interim Policy is due to be finalized later this year following the
receipt of community feedback and input from Guidepost Solutions.

65
University personnel today have a more informed understanding of potential indicia of
sexual misconduct than was the case during Dr. Anderson’s employment. And the Interim
Policy has centralized reporting of alleged sexual misconduct in OIE. 129 In addition, OIE has
adopted an escalations procedure that requires certain allegations of sexual
misconduct―including those involving a patient and physician―to be brought to the immediate
attention of the Board of Regents. To further promote and support a culture of awareness and
reporting, the University should take the following steps.

1. Training Should Address the Different Ways Misconduct Is Reported

The University should consider whether its training programs sufficiently sensitize
employees to the various ways that victims and others may reveal information about sexual
misconduct, whether recent or historical. Training should make clear that rumors, jokes, and
other informal comments and accounts, whether by possible targets of sexual misconduct or third
parties, may warrant further inquiry or reporting to OIE. Similarly, training should include
information to help employees better recognize when someone is suffering from trauma that may
be indicative of sexual assault, even when that person makes no explicit or affirmative disclosure
about an incident. Moreover, training should ensure that employees understand that victims may
not speak of their experiences until long afterward.

2. Training Should Address Athletic Department Culture Specifically

The University should ensure that Athletic Department employees and student athletes
receive adequate training on how team dynamics and athletics culture may discourage reporting
of sexual misconduct and affect how sexual misconduct incidents are discussed. We found that
Athletic Department personnel discounted what student athletes said about Dr. Anderson as
“locker room talk.” Some student athletes recall being told to “toughen up” or “get used to it”
when they raised concerns; others kept silent because they were too embarrassed, ashamed, or
afraid to give voice to what they had experienced. The University currently offers annual
mandatory training to Athletic Department employees that covers their reporting obligations.
The University also offers annual mandatory training to student athletes, which covers hazing,
sexual misconduct, and team dynamics. The University should review these trainings to ensure
they sufficiently address aspects of athletics culture that may affect how sexual misconduct is
raised, identified, and reported.

3. Employees Need to Understand Their Reporting Obligations

It is critical that University employees understand what their reporting obligations are and
how to carry them out. The Individuals with Reporting Obligations (“IROs”) provision of the
Interim Policy provides greater detail than prior policies regarding reporting obligations, but this
issue continues to generate questions among University employees as to the identity of IROs or

129
The Interim Policy identifies the various avenues through which students and employees can report sexual
misconduct—by either students or employees—to OIE for further investigation. The Interim Policy also designates
certain groups of University officials as “Individuals with Reporting Obligations,” who are obligated to report to
OIE when they learn of potential sexual misconduct, as defined by the policy. There are additional obligations
placed on certain “officials with authority” to report regardless of when and how they learn of the apparent
misconduct. See Interim Policy at 16.

66
“officials with authority” and the extent of their reporting responsibilities. To address this
confusion, we endorse the recommendation in the Philbert Report that the University implement
mandatory training to educate University employees on who qualifies as an IRO or an official
with authority and the responsibilities that accompany those designations. 130 We also reiterate
the Philbert Report’s recommendation that the University’s mandatory training highlight how
bystanders can recognize the warning signs of sexual misconduct and when and how they should
intervene. We understand that the University is in the process of developing such training.

B. Implement Additional Resources and Training Regarding Sensitive


Examinations

When Dr. Anderson was employed at the University, it was not standard practice to
provide a chaperone for all sensitive examinations. 131 Recent high-profile cases involving
physician misconduct at other institutions led to changes in best practices regarding sensitive
examinations, including the use of chaperones. The University of Michigan has implemented
written chaperone policies at UHS (April 2018), Michigan Medicine (June 2019), and the
Athletic Department (July 2019). Although the University’s chaperone policies are generally
clear and thorough, we recommend that the University review the policies to ensure they are
aligned and consistent across units, to the extent possible and appropriate, and are adequately
detailed. For example, we recommend that all chaperone policies require that both the physician
and the chaperone document in the patient’s record when a chaperone is present and any
instances in which a patient declines to have a chaperone present. 132 We also recommend that
the policies or associated training guidelines describe elements of effective chaperoning, such as
establishing a line of sight to the point of physical contact during a sensitive examination and
using verbal cues to communicate with the healthcare provider. 133

For the chaperone policies to be effective, both the healthcare providers conducting
examinations and the chaperones observing those examinations must understand what the

130
The University currently encourages employees to take an online optional training module, which includes
information on mandatory reporting obligations. See Information for Individuals with Reporting Obligations
(IROs), OFFICE FOR INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY, https://oie.umich.edu/information-for-responsible-employees/ (last
visited May 10, 2021). While our recommendations focus on internal reporting obligations, it is also important that
University employees understand when to report conduct to outside authorities.
131
It became standard practice for male physicians to offer female patients (but not male patients) the option of a
chaperone for sensitive examinations during the 1980s.
132
The current UHS chaperone policy requires both the healthcare provider and the chaperone to document the
presence of the chaperone or the patient’s decision not to use a chaperone. While the Athletic Department and
Michigan Medicine chaperone policies require documentation of the presence of a chaperone or the patient’s
decision not to use a chaperone, they do not clearly impose this requirement on both the healthcare provider and the
chaperone.
133
UHS’s Chaperone and Assistant Training Guidelines and Michigan Medicine’s Chaperone and Health
Professional Guidelines for: The Use of Chaperones During Sensitive Examinations, Procedures and Care Policy
62-01-016 describe the expectations of chaperones, including with respect to appropriate positioning and verbal
cues. The current Athletic Department policy does not include similar guidance. The American College Health
Association’s (“ACHA”) Best Practices for Sensitive Exams states that chaperones should be educated about
“[p]ositioning of chaperone during exam to visualize point of contact of exam or procedure” and “[r]eviewing how
chaperone may intervene or stop an exam if they are concerned about patient distress or inappropriate steps during
the exam.” ACHA, Best Practices for Sensitive Exams 5 (Oct. 2019),

67
policies require. Healthcare providers and anyone who might serve as a chaperone, including
student trainers in the Athletic Department, should complete mandatory training on the policies.
We recommend that such training be repeated periodically, at least once every three to five
years. 134 We further recommend that these training requirements be clearly set out in the
chaperone policies. 135

The University should also make patients aware of the chaperone policy and what to
expect during a sensitive examination. We found that many of Dr. Anderson’s patients did not
recognize that his conduct was inappropriate because they did not know what to expect during
their examinations. We recommend that the University consider ways to inform patients—if
possible, in advance of appointments when a sensitive examination will be conducted—what
they should expect during the examination and that they may have a chaperone present. 136 We
also recommend that the University review its current student training programs to ensure that
they adequately educate students regarding sensitive examinations and the University’s
chaperone policies. Student athletes should also be informed of the standard components of a
University PPE, including that it typically does not require that any sensitive examinations be
performed.

Finally, the University should ensure that students are encouraged to report any violations
of the chaperone policy or physician misconduct, whether that be through internal channels or to
outside authorities. The University should review its patient education materials and ensure that
they clearly explain that, whenever a patient is concerned that a physician (or chaperone)
engaged in conduct that seemed inappropriate during a sensitive exam, the patient is encouraged
to ask questions or make a report through available channels (regardless of how much time has
passed since the examination). 137 The University should also review its existing patient survey
processes to ensure that they adequately solicit feedback from patients regarding potential
physician misconduct and adequately inform patients of available reporting options.

df.
134
Certain healthcare providers at UHS, the Athletic Department, and Michigan Medicine indicated that they repeat
the chaperone training annually. However, neither the UHS nor Athletic Department chaperone policies and
associated guidelines describe any training expectations for healthcare providers, and the Michigan Medicine policy
requires only “[o]ne-time (or on hire) completion” of the training. We believe that both healthcare providers and
chaperones should repeat the chaperone training every three to five years at a minimum. Our recommendation is
consistent with the ACHA’s Best Practices for Sensitive Exams, which recommends that training of chaperones and
healthcare providers “occur at hire and [be] renewed regularly.” See ACHA, supra note 133, at 4.
135
UHS sets forth its chaperone training expectations, but not its healthcare provider training expectations, in its
Chaperone and Assistant Training Guidelines. The current Athletic Department chaperone policy does not include
any training requirements. Michigan Medicine sets forth its chaperone and healthcare provider training expectations
in its Chaperone and Health Professional Guidelines for: The Use of Chaperones During Sensitive Examinations,
Procedures and Care Policy 62-01-016.
136
The ACHA’s Best Practices for Sensitive Exams emphasizes the importance of educating patients, prior to their
examinations, regarding “what the exam entails, the purpose and availability of a chaperone, and importantly, the
patient’s ability to decline or stop any portion of the exam.” ACHA, supra note 133, at 5.
137
The ACHA’s Best Practices for Sensitive Exams states that “patient education should include information on the
processes for reporting violations of policy.” ACHA, supra note 133, at 5.

68
C. Conduct Periodic Reviews of Departments and Units

Multiple patients of Dr. Anderson told us that they did not report his misconduct because
they did not believe their complaints would be taken seriously or that Dr. Anderson would be
held accountable. The University can promote a culture of accountability by conducting periodic
reviews of departments and units to ensure that they are following the University’s sexual
misconduct policies and procedures.

The University of Michigan periodically conducts or participates in climate surveys of


students regarding sexual misconduct, 138 and the Philbert Report recommended that the
University conduct a climate survey for employees as well. Either as part of this process or as a
separate process, we recommend that the University periodically assess the climate within
individual departments or units with respect to sexual misconduct. Departments and units within
the University have different characteristics and challenges, so identifying how sexual
misconduct issues arise and are addressed within different parts of the University would allow
the University to better evaluate the effectiveness of sexual misconduct trainings and to monitor
and enforce compliance with relevant policies and procedures. Special attention may be required
when physicians report to non-physicians or non-healthcare leaders.

Periodic assessments could include an analysis of the incidence of sexual misconduct;


employees’ awareness of and comfort with available sexual misconduct policies and procedures;
the culture within individual departments and units with respect to sexual misconduct; whether
students and employees are comfortable reporting sexual misconduct incidents; and whether they
believe reports are addressed in a timely and equitable manner. A periodic review process could
offer students, faculty and staff, and other stakeholders the opportunity to provide information
and feedback to OIE.

D. Improve Tracking of Self-Disclosures During the Credentialing Process

As discussed above, Dr. Anderson self-disclosed in his September 1996 credentialing


paperwork a lawsuit against him that had recently been dismissed. The plaintiff in that lawsuit
alleged that Dr. Anderson engaged in unnecessary breast, pelvic, and rectal examinations during
a pre-employment physical. There is no evidence that the University took any note of the
lawsuit when Dr. Anderson reported it, nor is there any evidence that anyone recognized the
omission when Dr. Anderson did not list the lawsuit on his next credentialing application.

Michigan Medicine should continue to require providers to self-disclose during the


credentialing process any recent or pending legal proceedings—a practice that has been in place
with respect to malpractice claims at least since the earliest credentialing application we located
for Dr. Anderson (dated December 1994). But self-disclosure without appropriate follow-up has
little value. There remains no formal process at Michigan Medicine to track whether providers’
self-disclosures have been investigated or whether information disclosed is consistent from one

138
In the spring of 2019, the University was one of thirty-three institutions to participate in a climate survey of
undergraduate and graduate students conducted by the Association of American Universities regarding sexual
misconduct. The University also participated in climate surveys of undergraduate and graduate students in 2015
(one administered by the Association of American Universities, and one designed specifically for the University and
administered by a local Ann Arbor firm).

69
credentialing application to the next. A process should be put in place to ensure that self-
disclosed matters receive appropriate attention and inquiry.

E. Improve Communication About Sexual Misconduct Investigations Between


OIE, DPSS, and the Prosecutor’s Office

After referring Mr. DeLuca’s complaint to DPSS in early October 2018, OIE took no
investigative steps of its own for the next eight months because of the law enforcement hold
imposed by DPSS. DPSS notified OIE that it could resume its investigation only after OIE
inquired about the status of the hold in May 2019, approximately one month after DPSS had
completed its investigation.

There was (and still is) no written process governing DPSS law enforcement holds.
Instead, the existence and scope of a hold depends on the circumstances of each case and
conversations between individuals at DPSS and OIE. At a minimum, this case-by-case approach
creates confusion. We recommend that OIE and DPSS adopt a written process covering, at least,
when law enforcement holds are warranted, what effect a law enforcement hold has on particular
OIE investigations, how long any law enforcement hold remains in effect, the frequency of
communications between DPSS and OIE during the pendency of law enforcement holds, and the
process for communicating the lifting of law enforcement holds. 139 We understand that OIE and
DPSS are currently developing a process document.

There is also opportunity for improvement with respect to DPSS’s communication with
the Prosecutor’s Office. Officials from the Prosecutor’s Office have stated publicly that they
determined in the fall of 2019 that no criminal charges would be brought in connection with the
allegations against Dr. Anderson. But DPSS officials told us they received no notice of that
decision until the Prosecutor’s Office issued a written statement in February 2020. Because
DPSS submitted its report on Dr. Anderson to the Prosecutor’s Office informally via email rather
than through the online portal, DPSS did not receive the notifications that the online system
would have automatically sent when the Prosecutor’s Office completed its review and made its
non-prosecution determination.

To provide a clear audit trail and to ensure that updates regarding the status of
Prosecutor’s Office reviews are promptly communicated to DPSS, we recommend that DPSS
submit all cases it refers to the Prosecutor’s Office through the online notification system—
irrespective of whether DPSS or the Prosecutor’s Office believes the case is likely to result in
criminal charges. Doing so will help avoid unnecessary delays in the University’s investigations
by ensuring that DPSS is promptly notified when the Prosecutor’s Office has reached a charging
decision.

139
The current Title IX regulations do not specify how long a law enforcement hold may remain in effect. Section
106.45(b)(1)(v) provides that the University’s designated reasonably prompt time frame for completion of a
grievance process is subject to temporary delay or limited extension for good cause, which may include concurrent
law enforcement activity. See 34 C.F.R. § 106.45(b)(1)(v).

70
F. Ensure that OIE Has Sufficient Resources to Fulfill Its Mandate

A significant factor in the delay in investigating the allegations against Dr. Anderson
beginning in 2018 was a lack of adequate resources within OIE. While OIE has doubled its staff
from ten employees in June 2018 to twenty employees currently, an additional staff position
devoted to training and education remains unfilled. We recommend that the University fill that
position promptly and reevaluate the sufficiency of OIE’s resources, now and on a regular basis
going forward, to assess whether additional resources are needed for OIE to implement our
recommendations and fulfill its important responsibilities.

Fazit

In spite of the limitations attributable to the passage of time, the paucity of relevant
documentary evidence, and the unavailability of patients and witnesses, we have no doubt that
Dr. Anderson engaged in a prolonged pattern of sexual misconduct involving many members of
the University community. Whether or not others should have taken note of the rumors and
innuendo surrounding Dr. Anderson in his first dozen years at the University or in the years
thereafter, there is no reasonable explanation for Thomas Easthope’s failure to do so based on the
information conveyed to him between 1978 or 1979 and 1981.

The University has significantly changed in the nearly two decades since Dr. Anderson’s
retirement. The University of today has greater understanding and awareness of what constitutes
sexual misconduct, additional reporting obligations, centralized processes for responding to
reports, and stronger support systems for those affected. Our recommendations should enhance
the University’s policies, procedures, and practices to prevent this kind of misconduct from
happening again.
