A former football player filed the first lawsuit against ex-coach Pat Fitzgerald and members of the university's leadership over a hazing scandal.
More:At least eight former Northwestern football players have retained attorneys following recent revelations that led to Fitzgerald’s firing and sharp criticism of university leadership for its initial response to the allegations.
In a letter to Northwestern’s faculty and staff, Schill wrote that an outside firm will be hired to evaluate how the school detects threats to student-athletes’ welfare and to examine the athletics culture in Evanston, Illinois, and its relationship to academics at the prestigious institution. Webb, a former U.S. attorney, has been one of the most sought-after private lawyers in the country for decades.
“It wasn’t just confined to one bad actor,” attorney Parker Stinar said in an interview with The Associated Press.
