Open Stance with former University of Michigan Wolverine running back & NFL professional for the Chiefs, Patriots & Seahawks - JON VAUGHN

Jon Vaughn has spent a lifetime meeting challenges. From a troubled childhood, that included years of sexual violence, to a spot on the famed University of Michigan Wolverines football team where Jon became a victim of repeated sexual abuse at the hands of Athletic Department Physician Dr. Robert Anderson. Now, the challenges Jon faces include thyroid cancer, but, more notable, is his fierce focus on challenging the University of Michigan to acknowledge his and hundreds of other victim's sexual abuse and the institutional cover-up which enabled Dr. Anderson to commit these atrocious crimes over the course of forty years. This challenge, like all those presented before him, Jon is tackling head on.

It is my honor and privilege to welcome this warrior for justice, Jon Vaughn, to Open Stance.
