"'It’s very clear to me that this is a time when adults have to do the right thing — sometimes the right thing is the hard thing — and from everything I can tell and the leads we have, ASU is not handling this responsibly,' said Rob Carey, the former deputy chief attorney general of Arizona, who added the university 'seems to be circling the wagons.'"..
"Carey, a partner at the law firm Hagens Berman, blasted those comments and similar reports as 'fictional' and part of a 'false narrative' he considers an attempt by those involved in the workout to manipulate the truth."
