Trustees Under Fire at MSU

Over 15,000 MSU students and alumni have launched a petition demanding three Board of Trustees members step down—Mike Balow, Rema Vassar, and Dennis Denno—after their votes against strengthening the university’s code of ethics sparked outrage. The controversy erupted following the departures of President Kevin Guskiewicz and Athletic Director J Batt, whose exits have exposed deep instability and leadership failures. Organizer Victoria Bell argues that instead of prioritizing the university’s future, trustees have allowed chaos to damage MSU’s reputation. While the Board insists the transition is smooth and athletics are thriving, the petition has turned into a movement calling for accountability and change.
