Guskiewicz Leaves MSU for Clemson

Michigan State’s president Kevin Guskiewicz is leaving for Clemson, shocking faculty and officials after the board just approved a near-doubling of his salary to $2 million — a move meant to keep him. Guskiewicz blamed internal board conflicts, confidential leaks, and refusal to adopt ethics reforms for his exit, despite recent assurances he was committed. Governor Whitmer called it the “antics” of board members, fueling calls to reform Michigan’s university governance by having the governor appoint trustees. Guskiewicz vows to ensure a smooth transition before departing for Clemson in August, adding to MSU’s recent pattern of presidential turnover amid board turmoil.
