Recently one of the pediatric residents at my hospital was found watching child pornography in the call room. After being reported, the institution did nothing about it, and tried to sweep it under the rug. It bothers me that a prestigious academic institution would rather save face than to deal with a serious issue at hand.

Depending on the country many of the workers there will have a legal duty to report that incident. They'll also have requirements from their professional registrations.

Assuming we're talking about the "other" UofM, I would hardly call what happened "doing nothing about it." It was almost certainly an egregious failure on the part of a couple individuals, but it was more about a lapse in protocol then a university cover up. Not to mention that UofM has completed two separate independent reviews of what happened and made a pretty big (and public) effort to fix it.

The version I heard among my colleagues was that only after the police was brought in did the university sped up it's investigations.

Call the police and/or social services.

The article doesn't mention the police either, wtf? Surely they did an investigation?

Jurisdiction is funny on universities. UCSB (one I have personal experience with) has a special campus police branch that overlaps somewhat with the Isla Vista branch but are nominally distinct; I don't think the county's sheriff's department has any jurisdiction there.
