The Brief Brenda Tracy has filed a lawsuit against Michigan State trustees. One day after she filed a lawsuit against Michigan State University, sexual assault survivor advocate Brenda Tracy is sharing her story. Outed — as the woman who accused former MSU football coach Mel Tucker of sexual harassment. "This has always been about accountability from day one, holding Mel Tucker accountable for his behavior and his threats toward me," she said. That position is filing a federal lawsuit — suing the Michigan State University Board of Trustees - specifically naming Dennis Denno and Rema Vassar.
