We are officially no longer accepting complaints about the minutes being late

RELEASE: Faculty and student leaders endorse Provost Teresa K. Woodruff for interim president: acadgov.msu.edu/resources/comm…. Signatories include Faculty Senate leadership, ASMSU, the Academic Specialist Advisory Committee, and the presidents of Union of Non-Tenure Track Faculty @ Michigan State, MSU Council of Graduate Students, & Michigan State GEU.

This is a striking show of solidarity across a broad group of constituents, including faculty, undergrads, and grad students. It's clear what the BoT must do.

I work with Dr. Woodruff closely. Her renewed vision of the Provost office, her commitment to shared-governance, and her willingness to collaborate with all stakeholders makes her the best choice to serve this university during a transitional period. ASMSU supports our Provost.

An electronic session of the Academic Congress was held from October 20 to October 27. By a vote of 1,719 to 179, the Academic Congress has adopted a resolution reading, "The Academic Congress has no confidence in the Michigan State University Board of Trustees."

Members of Academic Governance said Trustee Pat O'Keefe's Oct. 28 comments "demonstrate a threat and danger to the operations of this university." statenews.com/article/2022/1…

Division between board members with eight individually strong beliefs about how MSU should run was a recipe for chaos responsible for pushing out President Stanley. statenews.com/article/2022/1…

I had an exclusive interview with President Stanley today. Read it here.

Folks seem to be having a hard time remembering that there's no such thing as a "friendly amendment" in Robert's Rules of Order, so I had a song commissioned in hopes it'll stick better. #NoSuchThing #ThatAmendmentIsNoFriendOfMine #acadgov

Grief is a profoundly personal thing, and we know the healing process will not be swift. We must take time to think, mourn and be together. We encourage everyone to honor their feelings and find comfort and solace in the close bonds that knit together our Spartan family.
