President Guskiewicz issues statement on results of no confidence vote 

“I appreciate the support of the Academic Congress and for the outreach I have received from many faculty and staff across the university who took time to communicate their personal support over the past several weeks.

“We are Michigan’s state university. From the success of our curious students to our world class faculty, our life-changing research, and the meaningful industry and community partnerships established at MSU, our impact is felt in every corner of the state, around the country, and across the globe.

“While sentiment toward the Board of Trustees amongst those who participated in the vote was disappointing, I personally want to thank Chair Brianna Scott and other trustees for their commitment to Michigan State University. I view shared governance as a partnership and I look forward to working together with every member of our Spartan community who wants to move Michigan State forward in the coming weeks, months and years.”
