FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. CHANGES COULD BE COMING WITHIN THE UPPER
RANKS OF MICHIGAN STATE
UNIVERSITY. THE DETROIT FREE
PRESS WAS THE FIRST REPORT
SCHOOL PRESIDENT SAMUEL STANLEY
JR COULD BE ON THE WAY OUT.
SOURCES SAY THE BOARD GAVE
STANLEY AT TUESDAY DEADLINE TO
RESIGN OR FACE THE CHANCE OF
BEING FIRED. VICTOR WILLIAMS
JOINS US NOW LIVE TONIGHT AND
VICTOR, WE KNOW THAT THIS ALL
COMES LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER
STANLEY SIGNED A NEW CONTRACT.
OH YEAH, THAT’S TRUE, AND WE’RE
JUST 11 DAYS INTO THE NEW
ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR AND WE’RE
BEING TOLD THAT THE PRESIDENT’S
JOB MAY NOW BE IN JEOPARDY.
MSU’S PRESIDENT, MAYBE FACING
ONE STRONG ULTIMATUM, RESIGN OR
BE FIRED, ACCORDING TO THE
DETROIT FREE PRESS. SOURCES ARE
CLAIMING THE BOARD IS GIVING
SAMUEL STANLEY JR UNTIL TUESDAY
TO STEP DOWN. THIS CONTROVERSY
HAPPENING FOLLOWING
DISSATISFACTION ON HOW THE
PRESIDENT HANDLED THE SANJAY
GUPTA INVESTIGATION, THE DEAN OF
THE BROAD COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
SCHOOL WHO SUDDENLY RESIGNED IN
AUGUST, ANOTHER ISSUE AT THE
CENTER OF IT ALL. INTERNAL
INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IS UNCOVERED
SOURCES AND CYST IF PRESIDENT
STANLEY DOES NOT AGREE TO STEP
DOWN, HE’LL BE FIRED INSTEAD OF
STANLEY AGREES AND DOES INDEED
STEPPED DOWN. THIS WILL MAKE HIM
THE THIRD MAJOR SCHOOL OFFICIAL
TO BE FORCED OUT OF THEIR
POSITION AT MSU. SURROUNDING
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AT THE
UNIVERSITY. THE SAME THING
HAPPENED TO FORMER UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENT LUANA SIMON BACK IN
JANUARY OF 2018 SURROUNDING THE
LARRY NASSAR SCANDAL. NASSER
HIMSELF WAS A TEAM DOCTOR FOUND
GUILTY OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING
COUNTLESS FEMALE ATHLETES. TURNS
OUT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WERE
MADE. BUT FOR SOME REASON, THOSE
CRIES FOR HELP OR UNANSWERED
JOHN ENGLAND, WHO WAS SIMON
SUCCESSOR AS INTERIM PRESIDENT,
ULTIMATELY RESIGNED AS WELL. DUE
TO THE BACKLASH OF HOW THE
SCHOOL HANDLED THAT INCIDENT AND
WAS EVEN ACCUSED OF MAKING
INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS ABOUT
NASSAR’S VICTIMS BACK TO THE
PRESENT. IF PRESIDENT STANLEY
STEPS DOWN, HE WILL BECOME THE
SECOND STATE UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENT OUT OF A JOB WITHIN A
YEAR WITH YOUR THEN PRESIDENT
MARK SCHLISSEL BEING FIRED FOR
WHAT THE SCHOOL CALLS AN
INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH
A SUBORDINATE COWORKER. SOURCES
ALSO SAY IF PRESIDENT STANLEY IS
ABLE TO RESIGN, MSU HAS A
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION TO PAY
HIM. IN A YEAR’S WORTH OF SALARY
, WHICH IS RIGHT AT $960,000.
THAT ALL CHANGES IF HE’S FIRED,
WHERE ULTIMATELY RECEIVE
NOTHING. AND THE ONLY WAY THAT
STANLEY CAN BE FIRED IS THROUGH
A PUBLIC VOTE, AND WE KNOW THAT
THE NEXT SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING
IS GOING TO BE ON OCTOBER THE
28TH. BUT THERE CAN BE A SPECIAL
MEETING HELD AT ANY TIME. WE DID
TRY MEETING UP AND TALKING TO
SOME OF THOSE MEMBERS ON THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND AT THIS
POINT IN TIME, NO ONE WAS
AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT. VICTOR
