Mr. Tucker could not be immediately reached for comment on Monday evening.
According to the letter, the woman, an activist against sexual violence and herself a survivor of gang rape, visited the university in July 2021 to teach its football team how to prevent sexual misconduct.
Mr. Tucker described these conversations as “phone sex” and “a late-night intimate conversation,” the letter said.
Monday’s announcement evoked painful memories of the university’s role in another sexual misconduct case.
Michigan State was heavily criticized for its handling of sexual abuse reports regarding Lawrence G. Nassar, the former physician for the American gymnastics team, who was long employed by the university.
