Best part of this is Ferguson's timely interview on Monday helped speed up this resignation.
Way to go Joel!

Remove her for cause. Civil suits are coming either way.

The article is referring to the Michigan Senate. Not the US Senate.

Her resignation letter simply perpetuated the missteps and ineptitude of how MSU's adminsitration has handled this so far. I mean, she basically said, "....and I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids." I suppose when you've punctured both eardrums with a pencil and then bled all over your desk, you are officially tone deaf.
January 24th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
"I mean, I was gonna leave anyway, so, like... whatever."
About as petty and self-agrandizing as any resignation letter could be. Unbelievable.

that whole bit kills me. "i told them 'we're going to play it straight'".
as opposed to telling them to cover it up and bury any bodies? you want a fucking medal? fuck i hate everyone in that administration.

Burn it to the ground. Michigan deserves a better little brother than State.

What I think of Simon's pitiful resignation letter...

The Judge was a big reason MSU eventually crumbled. An MSU grad but first and first a leader, a humane person. An adult. BRAVO JUDGE AQUILINA.
January 24th, 2018 at 11:15 PM ^
Rachael Denhollander was the reason. Is the reason. Is the big damn hero of this whole story. And is also a great writer and speaker. Everyone should read (or ideally watch, it's on Youtube) her statement from today.

Not to say the judge was not fantastic, but she'd agree with me that it was Denhollander.

I said a big reason. Not the reason.

First leader at MSU who at least figured out the right words to say is Trustee Brian Mosallum. He should still resign for not forcing this a week ago, or upon Nassar's plea deal being made, or the first reports about at least the 2014 Title IX investigation being an utter sham.
But still, better than his colleagues.

From her resignation:
As Nassar’s legal journey to prison was drawing to a close, more and more negative attention was focused on Michigan State University, and on me. I am pleased that statements have been made by Mr. Fitzgerald and Board members about my integrity and the fact that there is no cover-up.
I have tried to make it not about me. I urge those who have supported my work to understand that I cannot make it about me now.
Oh go fuck yourself Lou Anna. Seriously, you are not the victim here, and to have the temerity to act like this is some witch-hunt is the fucking worst.
