Nassar being sentenced on his 3 counts in Eaton County. 55 people expected to speak.

MSU board of trustees names former governor John Engler as interim president and ain't nobody happy. Rachael Denhollander "deeply disappointed". Faculty threatening to hold a no confidence vote. Some students also very very rustled:

Quote:

Dan Martel, president of the MSU College Democrats, noted that hundreds of students marched on campus seeking transparency and asking board members to help restore trust in the university's leadership.

"What we got were shady backroom dealings, which resulted in the political appointment of a straight, white, wealthy male who is just conservative enough to keep our elected officials down Michigan Avenue pacified for a little while longer," he said.

I expect everyone is going to be even madder when a white guy who is the assistant AD is named the interim AD. No information known as to his sexual orientation.

Quick Google search makes John Engler seem like a pretty good choice for this position..? Well other than being a straight white male I guess.

Plusses: Experience running a large bureaucratic organization. Politically connected. Approved unanimously by board of trustees (4 dems and 4 republicans I believe). Part of the arrangement is bringing on Jim Blanchard, a former dem governor and MSU alum, in a senior advisory role.

Negatives: There are lots of people that hate Engler (a) for who he is and (b) for what he is.

He's loathed by lots of people because he's a former republican governor. The state education establishment (teachers unions etc) hate him. He's not exactly known for being a lovable, sympathetic, empathetic figure.

As for what he is, he's a MSU alum. A connected insider. No higher ed experience. And a straight (presumably), white, reasonably wealthy man. Not exactly credentials that would please the burn it down crowd.

Edit: Column in the Detroit Free Press:

Quote:

The board, which has already let down millions of residents, thousands of students and more than 150 girls and young women, is still making wrong-headed decisions.

Those trustees, who all should have resigned with President Lou Anna Simon last week, just made another mistake today by naming former Gov. John Engler as interim president.

What were they thinking?

Engler, who helped ruin the state’s education system and dismantled its mental health system, shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near this scandal. Not even for a little while.

The politically connected former governor represents the exact opposite of what the university needs now. It needs someone who can’t be seen as having a dog in this fight, who won’t be seen as an obstructionist.

MSU needed an outsider.

Instead, they apparently have chosen an insider.

It is mind-blowingly wrong. It has outraged the campus, including faculty and a Steering Committee, who, according to news reports, said in a statement that "The Board of Trustees seems to have chosen to ignore major stakeholders of the MSU community in their rush to appoint an Interim President... We have issues with both the selection itself and a selection process that used meeting with students, faculty and Deans to give the appearance of consultation.

I tell my stepdaughters all the time, in terms of millions of deaths caused throughout world history, probably the two most dangers creatures on earth are mosquitoes and straight white males. One can only hope they heed my warning and not go hiking with any hot white guys any time soon.

Read it despite Jemele Hill and for the most part yeah.

Maybe it’s asking too much at this point. I’m sure both Izzo and football coach Mark Dantonio, who has also been accused of burying sexual assault allegations against his players, have likely been warned about what they can and cannot say so as not to expose themselves or Michigan State to further legal action.

I think it goes beyond this, I think there is a high likelihood that both Izzo and Dantonio have been informed that they will lose their jobs if they talk. Whatever desire they may have to get all transparent may well be squashed by the prospect of losing millions of dollars.

took 3 sheriffs to take him down. Couldn't they have let him have one shot at the little *****. I can only hope that when nassar gets to prison that he is put in general population. He won't last a week.
