An investigation into Michigan State's Board of Trustees reveals ethical lapses, conflicts of interests, favors for friends and free flights

Here's what we know about the findings of a law firm that could ultimately oust MSU Board of Trustees Chair Rema Vassar and Trustee Dennis Denno.

An external investigation outlined misconduct that “created fissures that have weakened the governance structure of the university.” Two members of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees “engaged in conduct that exceeds the scope of their authority,” according to an external investigation of alleged misconduct on the board. Examples of the misconduct include interference with university affairs, attacking colleagues and accepting personal gifts from donors.

An independent investigation of allegations of wrong-doing against Michigan State University Board of Trustees Chairwoman Rema Vassar has found three members of the elected body violated board bylaws and policies.

The investigative report, released Friday, is the latest development in the case of rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy.
