Michigan State president Lou Anna Simon will reportedly step down Thursday amid fallout from the Larry Nassar scandal, according to the Detroit Free Press .

Simon has been under immense public pressure to resign as university president as over 140 accounts of Nassar's abuse of women and young girls were revealed in court. 

Simon claims to have received a report saying Nassar had been cleared of sexual assault in 2014, but did not receive the full case file. Nassar was sentenced to serve 40 to 175 years for his crimes Wednesday. That is in addition to the 60-year sentence he was already given for child pornography charges.

Numerous people have called for Simon's resignation, but she has received both support and condemnation from those who represent the university.

Trustee Joel Ferguson praised Simon Monday in a radio interview saying she would never leave, while Mitch Lyons issued a statement calling for her to step down.

A statement from a current Michigan State student and former Spartan gymnast sent a message truly describing the call for her resignation.

“I don’t know how you can still call yourself a president, because I don’t anymore," said Lindsey Lemke. "You are no president of mine. … You say you aren’t responsible for this. I wish you would come up to this podium and be half as brave as all of us have had to be the past year and a half. To be brave enough to be a public survivor and a competing athlete of your university who let me down. To be brave enough to come up here and confidently tell us the reason why you don’t think that you are responsible."
