His year-long tenure sparked controversy from start to finish, as he took a firm executive hand at a public university in crisis, making changes intended to strengthen the school and prevent abuse. But he often escalated tensions with people who felt the university had wounded and betrayed them. His remarks about sexual abuse victims sparked headlines, and academic leaders sought assurance the university leadership would operate with empathy, honesty and transparency after revelations of sexual abuse, hidden for years, horrified the university and the nation.

Engler noted, in the first lines of his letter, that five Democratic members of the board had requested his resignation and that the election of two new Democrats and the replacement of a former trustee with another Democrat had created a new majority on the board.

His comments were some of Dr. Lawrence G. Nassar sexual abuse victims appeared to enjoy the spotlight
Then he blames the changes in the Board with Dems elected
What a dumb ****

John Engler, the interim president of Michigan State University, has drawn fire in recent days for saying in an interview that some of the women abused by Lawrence G. Nassar, a former faculty member and the ex-doctor for the United States national gymnastics team, appeared to be enjoying the spotlight.

Failed University Leader is currently one of the hardest jobs in America.

Good thing they tend to pay about $1 million/year.

That is what this one pays.

For Failing.
