The University of Michigan on Friday released a highly critical report on the institution's handling of a complaint that a medical resident at the university had a flash drive at work with child pornography on it. The report faulted the university for taking six months to handle the allegation, and for having a lawyer work on the complaint, rather than notifying the public safety department immediately. Mary Sue Coleman, the university's president, issued a statement in which she called the six-month delay "a serious failure on the part of our institution." The medical resident has since been dismissed from Michigan's program. The report said that no evidence was found that the resident obtained any of the photographs at university hospitals or that he acted inappropriately with any patients.
