The tough thing is there's basically no way this doesn't force them to raise tuition and I think they announced they'd have to earlier on. If they break contracts for other plans that just gives more people a reason to sue them. Even if they've got a huge endowment, relatively little of that would be liquid assets they could use in a situation like this anyway.

Their entire athletic department should be eradicated, at minimum. Every trustee should be forced out, at minimum. John Engler should be fired into the loving sun.

Detroit News posted:Michigan State University interim President John Engler is facing criticism from the newly-appointed board trustee chairman for saying some of pedophile Larry Nassar's victims are "enjoying the spotlight" while the university is "trying to go back to work."

Every time MSU does something to make us all go "well, they couldn't have handled this any worse," it's like they take it as a challenge and try to outdo themselves in a game of one-downmanship. At this point, I'm wondering if it's going to end with MSU changing their school motto to some sort of pro-rape screed.

Keep in mind that Engler is only the interim president. Imagine anyone being so unbelievably awful as the “interim” anything! Like drat dude your job is to tidy things up for a temporary period. Can you go more than 72 hours without insulting rape victims?

lol Michigan fired that lady and now their gymnasts are pissed because apparently THIS ONE was only at the USAG a week prior to the Nassar stuff and may not be as culpable? I don't think they should have even bothered with anyone remotely near that situation but now everyone's mad all over again at a different school!

Not sure where you are seeing that but per the Free Press she was told and didn't do anything. quote:Faehn, believed to be the first USA Gymnastics official told of predatory doctor Larry Nassar's abuse, was hired last week as a coaching consultant to the University of Michigan's women's gymnastics team.

mgobrian's take on it is as simplistic as it always is (She did what she was supposed to as a mandatory reporter and is now getting railroaded), but the fact of the matter is that she was told in advance and did not do enough. We don't let Paterno off the hook for it, Faehn shouldn't be given a pass either. Michigan hosed up and own-goaled this because now instead of not ever talking to her and hiring her, they've pissed off everyone who thinks she shouldn't work with athletes again AND the gymnasts on the team that decided to set aside what she did or did not do in pursuit of their athletic development. Excellent gymnastics coach, awful manager of human beings.

MSU Trustees are going to meet on Thursday. quote:"John Engler's reign of terror is over," said board member Brian Mosallam, who has been pushing for Engler's departure for nearly a year. "Michigan State University will be returned to its people." Besides being terrible what really gets me about this whole situation is that he is the INTERIM President. But he's been in that role for a year now and no one has said anything about hiring a permanent President.

His total inability to stop saying stupid poo poo though is kind of amazing. Engler was appointed president by a Republican state legislature that demanded that they hire Engler (a former Republican governor), or else the legislature would withhold funds to MSU. The entire idea was to have an old Republican being offensive, so they could claim that the angry reaction was just from people angry at conservative Republicans. Engler did exactly what he was hired to do, which was to keep saying horrendous things to attempt to anger people. There's a segment of the MSU fanbase, the Kid Rock segment, that supports MSU purely for conservative trolling. That's who Engler appealed to.

It's worth reminding you all at this juncture that Engler has overseen over a billion dollars paid out to sexual assault survivors now between Michigan State and Michigan's Department of Corrections, which had a massive problem with female inmates getting raped by guards. And yet he continues to get work.

quote:According to federal investigators, reports of sex crimes that came into MSU's Sexual Assault Program, which provides advocacy, counseling and support to students who report being sexually assaulted or abused, were not being counted due to a wrongly held belief that those employees were not required to report such crimes to authorities. When federal investigators tried to get documentation about such reports, "no such documents were ever produced as the university stated that the SAP Office did not maintain such records." Good lord.
