Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer castigated Michigan State University on Monday, accusing the school of lacking 'clear unified leadership.'
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ripped into Michigan State University on Monday, accusing the school of 'no clear unified leadership' amid rancor on the governing board and other unflattering incidents. Whitmer's statement came after two trustees over the weekend said they would support the ouster of board chair Rema Vassar. Separately, MSU apologized after an image of Adolf Hitler was displayed on the scoreboard before the Michigan-MSU football game Saturday night.
also is dealing with fallout from the firing of football coach Mel Tucker who was accused of sexually harassing a woman over the phone. Some critics say the school should have acted months ago. The latest turmoil involves MSU's governing board. Trustee Brianna Scott accused Vassar of 'bullying' other trustees in her role as chair and unilaterally trying to negotiate a settlement with a dean who was forced out in 2022.
She is MSU's fourth leader since Lou Anna Simon quit in 2018 in the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal. Nassar was a campus doctor who sexually assaulted athletes, mostly females who were gymnasts.
