@GovWhitmer Simple Question. Comment on you Alma matters Board of Trustees situation, where you are literally the only person who has power to do anything. Just a comment

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@PistonsStrong What about Stewart for 3 second rounders straight up

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@JordanStrack All Michigan fans are right in step with their rivals in NOT wanting this to happen. Tells you all you need to know.

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@GovWhitmer Tuition free education at Universities where YOU allow the Trustees to abuse their position to destroy the institution they were elected to protect. There is ONE person who can do what's right and you refuse! Should be ashamed.

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@GovWhitmer Seems like you can identify problems. MSU has a trustee problem. Both both scenarios seem to lack an actual PLAN.

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@OdellBretthamJr We fully understand how great of an institution it is... that's why dont want any of YOU associated with it. Is that clear enough for her?

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@GovWhitmer You care more about women's pro hockey than an entire university. Sad!!

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@GovWhitmer How about not letting a few of our Trustees to call MSU "home"?

@jaymar1210 Great coach. Better human.

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@GovWhitmer Please care as much about your university as you do that bridge.

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@JD_Jerbear Very well put

[Jeff Miller @michstjeff]

@LilyCGuiney @JD_Jerbear Well, here you have a great example of gross misconduct. Get Rema OUT!!!

[Flozell Adams @FlowMaster76]

MSU’s entire board should resign or be fired. All of them. This is crazy.

In November 2023, Rema Vassar met with MSU students and told them their university had collapsed.

The board chair was in trouble.

Weeks earlier, a fellow trustee had accused her of overstepping her role, and the Faculty Senate had reported her conduct to the university's accreditor, warning that her overreach could threaten MSU's accreditation.

She needed that complaint to go away.

These were students she had cast herself as an advocate for, activists who had come to her believing she was on their side. So she used that trust. The accreditation worry was a diversion, she told them.

"It's smoke and mirrors and lies and deceptions, and that'll all come out."

The real story, she claimed, was that MSU had already lost its accreditation over the summer, all because the provost and president botched the paperwork. If it was already gone, her conduct couldn't be the cause.

She pushed it further, telling them this failure by other MSU leaders was why students couldn't get financial aid. Their money problems, she said, were caused by her colleagues' negligence.

It was a lie. MSU later confirmed the accreditation was never lost. Not over the summer, not ever.

Vassar had manufactured a catastrophe and handed it to the people who believed in her, throwing innocent colleagues under the bus to protect her own image.

What she didn't know: the students were recording. Her lies and false charges of negligence were caught on tape.

@OwenMcCarthyJRN broke the story in a wide-ranging and damning exposé for @thesnews. Vassar declined comment.

"I can't comment on secretly recorded conversations with students that have still never been provided to me," she said in a statement.

"This is more of the same: a complete rejection of the essential value of full disclosure and transparency."

Yes, this too was someone else's fault.

Ironically, she had committed the ultimate betrayal of those "essential values."

A mere lack of disclosure would have been an improvement. She didn't hide the truth from these students. She built them a new reality. And wouldn't you know it, she's the hero in that one.

Today she's dangling a $25 million lawsuit accusing MSU of scrutinizing her unjustly because she's Black.

It's not the lies caught on tape, the gifts she took from donors, the campaign of harassment against a professor, the president who took a 50% pay-cut just to get away from her, or her interference in the university's operations.

No. MSU just hates Black people.

@SteelVascito @searchchick @MarcRyanOnAir But if you are looking for water front view, Noto's is great.
