ANN ARBOR (WWJ) - In the wake of the Penn State scandal, the University of Michigan is conducting an investigation into a delayed report about the discovery of child porn.

WWJ'S Beth Fisher reports an advisory committee wants its recommendations considered.

The Senate Assembly Resolution calls for things like procedures that attend to the needs of victims of crimes and educating the community about reporting crimes.

A former U-M Professor, Douglas Smith, is more direct saying that it's inexcusable that it took six months to report the finding.

"I'm concerned that the internal investigation that they are performing is being done essentially by accountants and business administrators. I don't think they have the skill set to look at issues that have to do with crime and the reporting of crime," said Smith.

"And also the fact that they may not have reported what had happened, ever, to the police, if it had not been for what happened at Penn State," Smith said.

The Senate Assembly Resolution calls for things like procedures that attend to the needs of victims of crimes and educating the community about reporting crimes. The resolution (Senate Assembly Resolution 122311-2) came out of the Penn State scandal.

"I think that every right thinking person at the University of Michigan, students, faculty, staff, administration is upset at the delay, because essentially we would hope that everything would be done in a way, in a most expeditious manner possible," Committee Chair Kate Barald told WWJ.

After police were notified, charges were brought within weeks against a 36-year-old resident physician who worked until December at the hospital. He is charged with four counts of possessing child pornography.
