Gov. Whitmer criticizes MSU for ‘scandal after scandal,’ leadership woes

Associated Press  

EAST LANSING, Mich. — 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. “This university has been rocked by scandal after scandal with no clear unified leadership or direction and tragically no accountability either,” Whitmer, a Democrat and MSU graduate, said in a statement. She is MSU’s fourth leader since Lou Anna Simon quit in 2018 in the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal.
