EAST LANSING — Michigan State University President Samuel Stanley says he stands by his actions handling the school’s Title IX issues, including forcing the resignation of the Broad School of Business dean for not reporting sexual harassment allegations quickly.
Stanley spoke to the MSU faculty Tuesday night,, but did not address if he will retire as several members of the Board of Trustees are pushing him to do. He said the Board of Trustees is the issue, not him, and says some members “may not have actually complied with their part of the state requirements in 2021” concerning making sure the university complies with Title IX.
Trustee Dr. Rema Vasser at a press conference Tuesday claimed there is enough concern about Stanley’s Title IX issues to ask him to retire early. Several other board members have publicly supported the president, including MSU board chair Dianne Byrum.
