Michigan State University wants to change up its health systems structure. In an effort to streamline the school and increase communication among colleges, the university plans to create two new oversight positions.
Norman Beauchamp is currently the dean of the College of Human Medicine. He is expected to become the newly created associate provost and assistant vice president for health affairs. That job will be focused on finding ways to improve safety and quality practices across all of MSU's health care services.
Beauchamp says this is a way for the school to improve best practices and response times in the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal.
Nassar is the former MSU sports doctor recently convicted of sexually assaulting multiple women under the guise of treatment. MSU has been reeling in the wake of accusations that students reported Nassar to MSU officials, but were ignored.
Interim President John Engler announced the changes. He called Nassar a "cancer." Engler says he hopes this will help the school move beyond Nassar.
