The Lansing State Journal reports Wednesday that Education officials have been looking into the East Lansing school's compliance with the Clery Act which requires notifying the campus community about crimes in a timely manner.
Eleven women who told university or campus security officials about assaults by Nassar are listed in the Education Department report. It also says no warnings were issued about 21 burglaries and other crimes from 2011 to 2016.
