"MSU Board Chair Resigns Amid Ethics Investigation and Policy Violations"

Michigan State University trustees voted to censure and refer misconduct allegations against two trustees, Rema Vassar and Dennis Denno, to Governor Gretchen Whitmer for possible removal. The allegations stem from a months-long investigation that found instances of alleged misconduct, including accepting free flights and tickets, violating codes of conduct, and engaging in personal attacks. The board also voted to censure Trustee Brianna Scott for publicly alleging misconduct by Vassar. The meeting comes after a rare late-night weekend special meeting and hours before the first official day of new President Kevin Guskiewicz.
