It’s Time for Michigan State to Clean House
For two decades, university officials dismissed or silenced Larry Nassar’s victims. Now its trustees should resign to make way for new leadership.The board of trustees is Michigan State University.
Michigan State University's board of trustees are answerable to the Governor of Michigan.
It is time for the state of Michigan to clean house.
Start at the top.
The university board should clean up their mess before they are allowed to depart.
Universities are medieval.
